THANK YOU FATHER.
What is it that we In Christ Jesus must be persuaded of?
Should we be persuaded that we can leap tall buildings in a single bound?
Is it that Christ died to take us from the mud hut to the penthouse?
Is it that we can save and justify our selves before God?
No, because apart from The LORD we can do nothing.
So what exactly do we place our confidence in?
Is it in how much we give or in how much we have been given In Christ Jesus?
We must be persuaded that our salvation, reconciliation, justification, righteousness and redemption rests in Christ Jesus alone.
Does faith come simply based in what we say?
Well if that is true I say that I am queen of England.
Faith comes based in what we hear and what we understand about what Christ has done.
If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is LORD then you shall be saved.
The gospel truth can be preached that teaches the priceless love that God has for the world.
A love so immeasurable that He sent His only begotten Son so that we could have life eternal.
John 3:16,17
Stop and think about that, while man had decided to listen to something other than God He continued to love man and to make a way for man.
Yes, a life where our spirit never dies or departs from the presence of God, this is abundance.
Abundance has been just as twisted into a doctrine of deceitfulness of riches as Faith has been.
Things that suffocate the true message of Christ.
Then you hear that you aren't worthy enough and neither are your morals, that you are a sinner.
Which one is it?
We were all sinners there is no one who is without sin.
What many who claim to follow The way of Christ omit as they accuse you of immorality or lacking love, is their own lack of morals and love.
They omit to tell you that the law was made for the self righteous.
Know that none have done righteously that includes the ones who try to condemn and warn.
You are not alone.
They be warned.
If false humility and self righteousness is saved, you have even more of a right to The Father, because as a sinner you were worthy enough for Him to send His Son to the cross.
Christ died for the ungodly and sinners.
The woman caught in the act of adultery was to be stoned by a crowd of unrighteous and Jesus spoke asking to the crowd where untruth usually rests,saying, if there were any there who were not guilty of the same law that they should be the first to bring a charge against her.
They tried to use the very law that they were not loyal to and had broken to condemn her?
The LORD showed that they were the self righteous in the story.
That woman was who Christ came to save and He didn't condemn her, the self righteous did.
I have not written that once you are saved it is okay to go on living a sinful life as if you had not been saved.
So save that twisted accusation for somebody who doesn't know Jesus.
Understand the magnitude of what has been done for us In Christ.
The desire of that woman was to to serve The LORD all of her days not to continue in sin.
It's not an etiquette class that keeps us from sin, it's believing in what Christ has done in not condemning us for sin but loving us enough to redeem us from it's punishment.
It will be you actively seeking to understand who Christ is and what He has done and said.
I have also not written that it is okay to pluck Galatians 6:7 out of context.
Study and understand the whole letter.
Be certain of what you know about the love of The Father.
LOVE Y'ALL :)
