Satisfaction in Christ

"The big secret is that Christians are supposed to be fully satisfied with Jesus, but many still harbour an unidentifiable emptiness or need. Their unwillingness to be truthful about their lack of satisfaction in the Christian life keeps them from asking the right questions; Why do I find the Christian life lacking? How can I be more satisfied?

Remember, Satan capitalizes on secrets! Secrecy always provides fertile ground for shame to grow. We grow more and more ashamed of ourselves for not being satisfied Christians. Because we won't ask the questions inside the circle of believers, the enemy tempts us to look outside for godless answers." - Beth Moore

 ¹³ This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. ¹⁵ If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV)

¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

"Only the places we allow the love of God to fully penetrate will be satisfied and, therefore, liberated." - Beth Moore
