"AN OBJECTIVE STANDARD" - THE GOAL WON'T CHANGE FOR YOU, YOU MUST CHANGE FOR IT.

There is an objective standard in Christ. This means that there is one equal path to the Lord (Romans 10:8-13), there is one equal faith in His name (Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 11:6) and one equal truth that applies to EVERYBODY. The standard doesn't change if you don't like it, if you don't "think" it should be like that, if you don't agree or if you feel like you don't qualify or can't reach it. It is the same path and requirement for everybody, so what we should do is seek daily the grace of God and the assistance of His Holy Spirit to reach toward that standard, rather than making many excuses as to why it is too hard, or needs to be changed for us.

God is always righteous - His standard is not burdensome for any who seek Him for understanding. Rather, it is attainable for everyone because the invitation is for everyone. The Cross was for everyone, HIS SPIRIT IS THE STAIRWAY TO IT AND CHRIST'S SACRIFICE IS THE DOORWAY TO ENTER THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE FATHER.

"I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME." John 14:6

"For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:27- 28

"Brethren, I do count not myself to have already attained: but this one thing I do, FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND, and reaching forth unto those things which are AHEAD, I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:13- 14
