We live in a fallen world; we are surrounded by great beauty but also by great brokenness. The great paradox is that from our viewpoint we see that which is broken, and yes, maybe it can be repaired and fixed – but it will never be WHOLE. But God’s Word says differently.
John 3:16, 17 God sent Jesus to SAVE us. That word saved in the Greek means so much more than just rescued. But it is a complete work, healing, wholeness, provision and protection. That is why Jesus said on the cross, "it is finished". We are the ones who struggle to see ourselves whole and therefore we are always striving and working towards being whole. The crazy thing is - you already are 'in Christ'. So really the battle should be to bring your thinking in line with the Word or God and start seeing yourself the way God sees you.
Wholeness starts by knowing who HE is in you.
1 Thess 5:23, 1 Cor 6:11, 2 Peter 1:3
Wholeness is learning who you are in HIM.
2 Peter 1:2,3, Phil 3:9,10, John 8:31, 32, Psalm 1:3
To learn who you are in HIM you have to learn to abide in HIM
John 15:3,5, James 1:22, Rom 10:17, Heb 4:12, 2 Tim 3:16,17
I am whole because of what He says about me, nothing else - That is faith in action right there.
