My Justification

I am not justified by the books I read (or don't read)
I am not justified by serving others
I am not justified by how well I love God
I am not justified by my relational status
I am not justified by how well I flee from sin
I am not justified by humans efforts
I am not justified by my prayer life
I am not justified by how well I articulate the Gospel
I am not justified by owning my sin
I am not justified by what I think of myself
I am not justified by what I do
I am not justified by how dead my flesh is
I am not justified by how well I cross boundaries
I am not justified by any works
I am not justified by what people think of me
I am not justified by my vision
I am not justified by memorizing scripture
I am not justified by bibical understanding
I am not justified by how much I have grown
I am not justified by spending time with ladies
I am not justified by how well I own my failures
I am not justified by my heart for missions
I am not justified by my own efforts
I am not justified by knowledge
I am not justified by my attitude
I am not justified by how well I illustrate the Gospel to my roommates
I am not justified by how much time I spend with God
I am not justified by loving hymns
I am not justified by my legacy
I am not justified by the community around me
I am not justified by my GPA
I am not justified by how well I submit to authority
I am not justified by this

I am justified by the blood of Jesus Christ and Him alone

[I wrote this about a year and a half ago, it's a little repetitive by my heart is stubborn. The bottom line it is not who I am or what I do (though both do matter) that justifies me in front of God, But Jesus Christ, who he is, what he did]
