In Sunday's sermon, Pastor David was in Hebrews 13:7-9. When talking about verse 8, the point was brought up that we know what the Gospel was for us when we got saved and what it will be for us in the future but often we are not sure what the Gospel means for us today. We were reminded that the Gospel today is sweet and scandalous and I need to hear it all the time. He mentioned how Satan loves to blank out what Jesus is doing in me today because then I won't live for Jesus. We have set up "functional saviors" which are "foods which have not benefited those devoted to them". This reminds me of the sweetness of the reality that I cannot save myself and I need to lean on Christ and trust Him.
I am reminded not to forget about the sweetness of the Gospel because my eternal destiny is assured but find joy in that the Gospel is a wonderful, constant reminder of what I need to look to every day. The Gospel reminds me of God's grace and my unworthiness. Every day I give into the temptation that what I really need is something more than what Christ offers. I do this by choosing what I want over what Christ wants for me.
