Yea, the Deep Things of God

1 Corinthians 2:10-
But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
    This verse reminded me of how thankful I should be for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who opens our eyes to the deep things of God. I stress this alot but it a common saying  I see and here everywhere around me. People saying " What can you do to get closer to Christ" , " If you do A.B and C, your walk with Christ will be better." 
         This view of our Christan walk is dangerous. If we start looking for things to DO, to have a better walk with Christ, we are already deceiving ourselves. We are inclined to want to do bad. The old man still is in us. Making this resolutions are not bad in themselves and we defiantly should be doing self examination and seeing where we need to do better and ask forgiveness.
         I can say that if people just say I'm going to read my Bible and pray more, they have started off in a good direction but there is more than just DOING things. People need to acknowledge and accept that they can't do it alone. They need to understand that just like salvation they can't save themselves as well as they can't just start doing good with out Christ. We need to say and acknowledge we can only do good because of Christ.Paul says the good he wants to do he doesn't. This is coming from an amazing Christan example. He recognises that he has  the desire to do good but he doesn't do it. Meaning that in himself trying to be good and setting resolutions are not enough but it goes more beyond himself to Christ. It shows man weakness and desperate dependence on Christ, to do the good we would do but don't.
     I am not saying we shouldn't look at ourselves for sins and have a heart to correct them but also we shouldn't just sit back and let God " do all the work", the Bible is clear on that is not whats to be done. Even with seeing sin in our lives, it's not us acknowledging our sin but Christ showing us where we are wrong. So we are to acknowledge and submit to God's Great and Mighty hand in your lives. To search the Scripture and fellowship and understand more the God we serve
      God has a hand in a Christians life, every part. We are subjected to His mercy. It's in His mercy we want to do good. It's in His mercy He lets us see where we are erring and want to change. It's in His mercy we can admit we do want to be good but don't and pray for the strength to be more like Christ. Not depending on ourselves to form ourselves like Christ.
           If we are searching for the deep things of God. We HAVE to look outside of ourselves. We need to admit we are still doing wrong and in ourselves we are lost. We need Christs hand in every part of our lives. He gives us the Holy Spirit, to convict and encourage.
     I encourage you to yes search for sin and pray that God also opens your eyes to sin you don't see. To pray that God will give you a heart to want to good, because when we sin,  we are saying we love to do bad and don't care for the things of God. Though we are saved, God doesn't not leave us alone, to fight our old man ourselves, so see this as God mercy and grace and blessing, helping you die to yourself everyday. We need to remember we don't pay God back by trying living a Christian life....I think that is the hidden motive to some Christians.. they need root out this unbelief .. remember that Christ paid it all. He doesn't need our pathetic trys, to pay back  such a WONERFUL AND GREAT thing He has done for His people you His Beloved. Now is the time to work on getting to know the God we are going to be serving the rest of eternity and submitting ourselves to His control and rely on Him for our daily for Him changing  us in His image. God bless!
