Grace and love to you, Bill. The reality of it does not depend on you accepting it. It already is as it is. Jesus did what He did and accomplished His work. It is done. It is finished. Your condemnation is over. Everlasting righteousness is yours. Your shame hung on Him on His cross and that shame is forever gone and forever replaced with His gift of righteousness to you because He loves you. That your mind and flesh periodically cling to the law and your attempts to work of yourself and not rest in His accomplished work—this is a shared flaw in all people. To one degree or another, we all suffer this inward fight. So, you are not alone. What you are also not alone in is the receiving of the results of His work regardless of how you feel about it and the battle that may rage in your heart and mind. My children do and say things with consequences, but my love for them does not end. How much more the Lover of my soul for me as I oft waver and waffle—yet beneath that my confidence and assurance are sure. I never say: "Jesus is not good enough!" NEVER! Though I fall, though I waver, though I slip, though I sin—I know before, during, and after that ALL of the condemnation and shame of ALL of the sin of my life has been put away from me on His cross and His finished work. What remains to me is NO CONDEMNATION, and no shame. What remains to me is rest. What remains to me is His righteousness and good name given to me as a gift. Mediate on these things, brother. You are not alone.

Awesome article but being rooted in a Baptist church it's hard for me to accept the contents of this well written thought provoking teaching……I want to make it my reality but it is hard…..
