You, as a Christian, are in very good condition . . .. Legally. Very comforting thoughts here below: God "plays", so to speak, by His own rules. Rules that both unleash and limit His wrath. God would be totally justified in unleashing His wrath upon everybody because all we humans (before we were saved) are dead spiritually and therefore totally corrupt and deserve immediate DEATH -- BUT God has rules established by His nature. And He deals with us humans based on His rules. And one of His rules is that sin must be punished with DEATH. Another rule He has is that once sin has been punished with DEATH, that is ENOUGH, which means that He will NOT collect or require the payment AGAIN. So? So the good news is that Jesus has already paid it all. Jesus' DEATH on the Cross was a LEGAL event (as well aa a love event.) The Cross and The Resurrection has LEGAL ramifications before The Highest Court In The Universe. Now the Honor and the Integrity and the Holiness of The Judge Of All Mankind has been fully satisfied. God deals with humanity now in a LEGAL way. Saith the Holy Bible: "all are justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that came by Jesus Christ. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement through the shedding of His blood -- to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate His righteousness . . . SO AS TO BE JUST AND THE ONE WHO JUSTIFIES THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS" See Romans 3:21-28 So? So now "therefore being justified through faith [in Jesus] we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' Romans 5:1 ". . . WE HAVE . . . PEACE WITH GOD . . ." The Sovereign God, by His own rules, has LEGALLY justified all of us who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. ♪ ♪ ♪ Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe Sin left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow ♪ ♪ ♪ Legally I am now NOT GUILTY before The Judge Of All Mankind sitting in The Highest Court In The Universe. "He [God] forgave us all our sins, having cancelled the charge of our LEGAL indebtedness, which stood against us, and condemned us, he has taken it away, nailing it to The Cross." Colossians 2:13-14 NIV I Ain't Guilty Of Nothing . . . Zero. Thoughts? []
I Ain't Guilty Of Nothing . . . Zero. What about the sins we do commit, being imperfect, as we live the Christian life? 1 John 1:9 "if we confess our sins He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." Yes indeed! By His Grace and Mercy I Ain't Guilty Of Nothing . . . Zero. []
Good points...... I truly identify with the statement by Messiah Yeshua - Jesus that many of his listeners were like children of Satan....... .... that is no joke....... and for all of his many, many, many, many flaws...... Satan has actually been a rather brilliant teacher to all of us..... We learn a lot from our sins... and greed and pride.... and lust and all the Satanic stuff that we have done in the past! Former Satanist John Ramirez is one of the most zealous Christians who I feel is like a modern Paul because he is going all out to try his best to reach the lost especially those in the occult!
