GOD IS FOR YOU

“This I know…God is for me.”     Psalm 56:9 NKJV

In his bestselling book, The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell defines the tipping point as "the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point" Its the moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior passes the point of no retum and gains acceptance. in the realm of physics, a tipping point is when an object is displaced from a stable state of equilibrium into a new state. In economics, it's the point at which an emerging technology becomes the industry standard, In sociology, it's when a quorum of people adopts a behavior so that it reaches critical mass and goes viral. Spiritually speaking, the tipping point is when you believe without any reservation that God is for you. It's the revelation that God doesn't just love you, He likes you. He loves you enough to die for you, and He likes you enough to spend eternity with you: Yet some of us remain skeptical. We project our self-contempt onto God, assuming that He must be as angry with us as we are with ourselves. Or we fall into the performance based trap of thinking that our behavior determines God's posture toward us— whether that is for or against. Listen: the fact that God is for you was proven at Calvary's cross. Oswald Chambers wrote. No power on earth or in hell can conquer the spirit of God in a human spirit. He said, "It is an inner unconquerableness." Religion is all about what you can do for God, Christianity is all about what Christ has done for you. But it starts with this all important kernel of truth: “This I know…God is for me.”
