Christian missionary Heidi Baker warns the body of Christ that many of us are living in the garbage and says that “We’re not called to live in the garbage,” but we are called to redeem people living in the garbage.
Heidi Baker
The CEO of Iris Global, a Christian humanitarian organization, shares how they rescued children found in the garbage during their missions. She described how badly their conditions are when they find them and how they rescued them and gave them new life.
“We have children that we picked. We went picked them up, curled up in balls in the garbage, shredded rags. You couldn’t wash their clothes. You just can’t just shine up yourself, we had to burn their clothes. They were irredeemable. You couldn’t wash them.” Heidi shared.
Living in Garbage
Just as how Heidi can’t save those children’s clothes, we as sinners can’t also cleanse and fix ourselves. It’s is only Jesus Christ who can fix and redeem us.
“You can’t fix yourself, Jesus fixes us. Jesus cleanses us by His blood, we can’t fix ourselves,” she emphasized.
However, many of us are still living in the darkness despite the freedom God gave us. If you are a Christian who is still wound up in the cycle of sinning, let the blood of Jesus Christ cleanse you. You are called to save people living in the garbage, not to live in it with them.
“So many of the body of Christ is living in the garbage,” Heidi warned.” We’re not called to live in the garbage, we’re called to go and find the treasures there. There’re treasures in the garbage. They don’t know whose they are. But you can’t let them know whose they are until you know whose you are.”
You are worthy
Before fulfilling your purpose and calling, you should first know your identity as a child of God. God made you worthy to live in His Kingdom!
“Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you think of how God made you worthy. God made you worthy to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to us by living in the light. He rescued us completely from the tyrannical rule of darkness and has translated us into the Kingdom realm of His beloved Son. For in the Son, all our sins are canceled.”
