How to apply the gospel in my life

I really don't know the answer to that. That's just what I need to learn.

beautiful beautiful concept...Jesus dying on the cross. for us. really, for His glory. we reap the benefit. not because of anything we've done, but just because. not because we're smarter, prettier, put-together, more righteous, more acceptable. not because we home school our children. not because we've come from the most horrendous of childhoods and made something of ourselves. not because of the children that we've raised and how we've done that. not because we're in successful marriages. not because we're in successful re-marriages. not because we're the lowest caste. not because we're missionaries. not because we're more eloquent. not because we're unpreposessing and humble. not because we're the redeemed prostitute.

it's only because of Him, Yahweh, the first and the last, the alpha and omega, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. And this is the truth. That I can't be any more accepted because of anything I am. I can't be loved any more, or any more in His kingdom, because of anything I do. I can't pray more, I can't worship more.

do I live like I have been freed? that I don't need to worry? that I am confident in the life He has planned for me? that it doesn't matter who loves me because I am loved by the King of the Universe? that it doesn't matter that I may not be the best and brightest? I don't live like this.

How do I apply this truth? Please tell me.
