Still I struggle with relating to God by works rather than by the work of Christ. Living as if there were a "perfection meter" in God's eyes; the fuller it is, the more He loves me, and the more I am happy. The lower it goes, the more I feel guilty, and the more angry God is.
But for those in Christ, it is His perfection meter that is referred to. His meter is full, perfectly complete. He has fully satisfied God's justice and His law. God is perfectly satisfied with Him, and His love for Jesus never fails or diminishes. And Jesus' Perfection meter is laid on top of mine, so that when God looks at me, He sees Jesus only. He loves me as He loves Jesus (wow! - I cannot comprehend that... Jn.17:23). And therefore my joy can be full! (Jn.16:24).
