I am His.

Yes. I have tattoos.
Yes. I have piercings.
Yes. I can still serve God and bring others to Jesus.

God is not concerned with our appearance, He is concerned with our intentions.
My intention; is to spread the Good news of the Gospel and the message of The Cross and what Jesus did for us. I glorify Him in all that I do. Even when getting tattooed. And who knows, maybe this tattooed unorthodox Christian walking up to someone lost and broken, to tell them of Jesus, will be better received by them than the proud or haughty Christian that thinks they are above them.

“For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”
‭‭- Galatians‬ ‭2:19-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn’t work. So I quit being a “law man” so that I could be God’s man. Christ’s life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that. Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God’s grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily.”
- Galatians‬ ‭2:19-21‬ ‭MSG‬‬

I don't do religion. I do relationship.
The Pharisees were religious. Jesus was all about the people.
Jesus is Who I model my life after.

We have done nothing to earn God's love. Nor can we do anything to lose it. We do not get to Heaven by our efforts. We cannot earn grace. It is a gift from a loving Father. I walk in the Freedom of what Jesus did for us 2000 years ago. I refuse to let His death be in vain. You should also. Who the Son sets free, is free indeed. Be blessed.
