Are You Willing To Lose In Order To Gain

Exert from Andrew Murray's, The Holiest Of All, an exposition of the epistle to the Hebrews, page 193, says, Let us therefore draw near with boldness! Jesus the son of God is our high priest. Our boldness of access is not a state we produce in ourselves by meditation or effort. No, the living, loving high priest, who is able to sympathize and gives grace for the timely help, He breathes and works his boldness in the soul that is willing to lose itself in him. Jesus, found and felt within our heart by faith, is our boldness. As the son, whose house we are, he will dwell within us, and by his spirit’s working, himself be our boldness and our entrance to the Father. Let us therefore draw near with boldness! Scripture for thought Romans 7:24-25; 8:1-6 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. What the Holy spirits accomplishes in us through Jesus Crist Isaiah 11:2-5 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/bJqMIo89KAg
