Learning to Preach the Gospel to Myself

I am still learning what it means to preach the gospel to myself daily. I am a legalist at heart. My tendency is to base my standing with God on what I do and don't do.

I got fresh freedom this morning as I contemplated Christ's finished work on my behalf. He has accomplished all the Father gave Him to do (John 17:4).

Where is your confidence today? In what you can accomplish? Or, in what has been accomplished for you?

I'm a legalist too. I try constantly to preach to myself, and I consistently fall back into the snare of legalism. Thank God for the finished work of Christ. Without that I'll never do enough to have confidence. Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe.
