For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He even gave up His only begotten, unique Son, so that whoever believes in, trusts in, clings to, relies on Him shall not perish, come to destruction, be lost, but have eternal, everlasting life. For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge, to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. John 3:16-17 Amplified Bible
It is never too late for us. No matter what, the cross of Jesus Christ has made us flawless. There is more to life than going back and forth from right to wrong and being unstable in all our ways. We put so much worth in what we do in this world. It is a good world, God created it to be so, but it is flawed by our human sin issues. But this does not matter, sin and flaws do not have the final say, because God’s Presence is in this world and He has made it flawless by His Son, Jesus Christ. Our flawed past is gone and in Christ Jesus, we stand flawless.
Flawed ~ Now Flawless
“I know that it’s not too late. There’s always light at the end of a tunnel. There’s always love on the other side of fear. There’s always a way through the darkness. There’s always a path that leads to hope and joy and happiness and connection and faith. Always. It all starts with believing that it’s not too late. You’re not too worn down or too old or too overwhelmed or too sad or too afraid or too angry or too anything. You’re not.” Author ~ Jodi Chapman
Scars, bumps, bruises matter not because in the light of the cross of Jesus Christ, you are flawless. Deep hurts, pains, wounds will not keep you from the flawless love of Jesus. Jesus’ love, it is enough to bridge every gap that keeps us from God. God took us in all of our filth and flaws and through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, He has made us flawless. Finite perfection is not going to happen on this side of heaven, but the cross of Jesus Christ was enough and it makes us perfect in the eyes of our Father God. We do not look to this flawed world to make us right, we look to the cross, to our Savior, Jesus Christ Who is our righteousness and who makes us in the eyes of the Father God to be just as if we never sinned.
We Think We Are Forever Flawed, But The Truth Is…
Therefore, now no condemnation awaits those who are living in Jesus the Anointed, the Liberating King, because when you live in the Anointed One, Jesus, a new law takes effect. The law of the Spirit of life breathes into you and liberates you from the law of sin and death. God did something the law could never do. You see, human flesh took its toll on God’s law. In and of itself, the law is not weak; but the flesh weakens it. So to condemn the sin that was ruling in the flesh, God sent His own Son, bearing the likeness of sinful flesh, as a sin offering. Now we are able to live up to the justice demanded by the law. But that ability has not come from living by our fallen human nature; it has come because we walk according to the movement of the Spirit in our lives. If you live your life animated by the flesh—namely, your fallen, corrupt nature—then your mind is focused on the matters of the flesh. But if you live your life animated by the Spirit—namely, God’s indwelling presence—then your focus is on the work of the Spirit. A mind focused on the flesh is doomed to death, but a mind focused on the Spirit will find full life and complete peace. Romans 8:1-6 The Voice
We struggle with so much in this life, because the weakness of our human nature leads us to sin and we don’t sin alone, the consequences of sin are so far reaching and they affect everyone with bumps, scars and bruises, with fears, hurts, pains, anxieties, worries and doubts. Because this world is not perfect, because it has sin issues. When bad things happen to pure, innocent people causing them to be flawed forever, we lose hope, but Jesus Christ came to make us flawless, He is our more and most, the perfection of our finite. By faith, we accept Jesus, we apply His sacrifice to our flawed human condition and we walk in the joy, peace and hope of His flawless love for us.

“By faith we are taken into Christ, made at once safe from holy wrath against sin, and kept safe from all perils and penalties. He, our divine Redeemer, becomes to us the new sphere of harmony and unity with God and His law, with His life and His holiness.” Author ~ A.T. Pierson
The Infinite mercy of our AWE-GOD introduces us to amazing grace and it is in this grace of Jesus Christ, that our human condition is made flawless, our impurity is made pure, our past is made purposeful, our filth is made righteous, our bumps, scars and bruises are healed, our pain, hurt is eased and our flawed human nature is made flawless. The cross was enough. Our hero, Jesus Christ came. When the finite enemy of our soul condemned us to death and said it is too late for us, the Infinite God said My Son is enough and He conquered death forever as the heel of His son, crushed the head of our enemy.
We Think We Are Forever Flawed, But The Truth Is…
In fact, we stand now reconciled and at peace with God. That’s why we celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed. Consider this: sin entered our world through one man, Adam; and through sin, death followed in hot pursuit. Death spread rapidly to infect all people on the earth as they engaged in sin. God’s gift of grace and salvation is amazing. Paul struggles to find the words to describe it. He looks everywhere around him to find a metaphor, an image, a word to put into language one aspect of this awesome gift. One of those is “reconciliation.” There is hardly anything more beautiful than to see two people who have been enemies or estranged or separated coming back together. When Paul reflects on what God has done through Jesus, he thinks about reconciliation. Before we receive God’s blessing through His Son, we are enemies of God, sinners of the worst sort. But God makes the first move to restore us to a right relationship with Him. Before God gave the law, sin existed, but there was no way to account for it. Outside the law, how could anyone be charged and found guilty of sin? Still, death plagued all humanity from Adam to Moses, even those whose sin was of a different sort than Adam’s. You see, in God’s plan, Adam was a prototype of the One who comes to usher in a new day. But the free gift of grace bears no resemblance to Adam’s crime that brings a death sentence to all of humanity; in fact, it is quite the opposite. For if the one man’s sin brings death to so many, how much more does the gift of God’s radical grace extend to humanity since Jesus the Anointed offered His generous gift. His free gift is nothing like the scourge of the first man’s sin. The judgment that fell because of one false step brought condemnation, but the free gift following countless offenses results in a favorable verdict—not guilty. If one man’s sin brought a reign of death—that’s Adam’s legacy—how much more will those who receive grace in abundance and the free gift of redeeming justice reign in life by means of one other man—Jesus the Anointed. Romans 5:11-17 The Voice
Some wounds feel so deep and create such a huge crevice between us and God and leave us with such a dysfunctional flaw in our souls, that we hopelessly feel nothing can bridge the gap of such pain. We define ourselves by this deep woundedness and we think we are abandoned, forgotten, forsaken and stuck in this deeply flawed place forever. No matter what we feel, the truth is, the Savior, Jesus Christ has bridged the gap of this finite fissure that separates us from God. In Christ, we can infinitely so, be healed by the grace of God as we walk hand in hand with God’s mercy. We can cross over to God’s flawlessness, breathing deeply of the truth and life of God’s Holy Spirit and know the joy of our present relationship with Him and the future hope of being in His everlasting kingdom. The cross is enough and we are flawless.

“Jesus, being perfect in all aspects, bridged the gap between God and man, by becoming the only God-Man – completely divine, yet completely human at the same time. He is the King of kings, yet also the servant of us all. He is our savior and redeemer, one that understands our weaknesses and infirmities. There had to be a way to bridge the gap, to SAVE mankind from eternal separation from God. Jesus Christ is that bridge.” Author ~ Gregory

We Think We Are Forever Flawed, But The Truth Is…
Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them. So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 New Living Translation
“Jesus makes the point clear: stay connected to Him, and have no reason to fear. Jesus doesn’t mean that at the instant someone has faith, fear simply vanishes or only good things happen in that person’s life. In fact, the blessings that come with eternal life often have nothing to do with present or future circumstances, but they have everything to do with the individual’s connections to God and others. That is John’s message to his listeners. God came to earth embodied in flesh, and then He reached His greatest acclaim through a torturous death. If this is all true, then believers will find strength and beauty in places never imagined. Abiding in Jesus the Anointed is the good life, regardless of the external circumstances.” The Voice Commentary On John Chapter 3
