I had been having trouble accepting that God's love for me is unconditional. You see, I had fallen in ways that I had deemed unforgivable or major sins and so I felt that I had to earn God's love. Because I knew this was not a biblical viewpoint, I decided to embark on journey to find out what the Bible says about who I am in Christ by reading the Book of Ephesians where Paul talks about how God's love is unconditional and a gift. After reading Ephesians, I thought I'd be fine to proceed to the next phase of my journey: learning to live like Christ by studying the Book of 1 John...but it turns out I have one more step before that. Although I now truly believe that God loves me unconditionally and has forgiven me, I am still having a hard time forgiving myself; so I will now be going through the Bible using the Breaking Free study guide by Beth Moore to help me deal with this. Blog postings for the next couple of months will pertain to this new chapter in my walk with God. Stay Tuned.
