Dont like long ones can go on fore ever about our saviour and what He has done.
Hmm, being pondering this one all afternoon, and Jesus said, you are a hard one. I spend a lot of time asking Him questions. You know the bit about Jesus leaving the 99 to find the one that was lost, yet I have discovered that so many that are His are like Jonah and Saul, running away from God as if they could. Took a wale to get Jonah to where he needed to be and a encounter with Jesus and being made blind for Saul to have His opened so that He could see. Seems Jesus has a purpose for you, no argument there.
Lets start with Justification, there is none justified by god, one of the first things He showed me in a vision, was me standing before my father butt naked on the steps of a courthouse, this was to show me that there is nothing hidden from Him, nothing. No matter how we try to bury our shame under clothing of self righteousness and our filthy works, he can see through it all.
Now justified.
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Act_13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Rom_5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Gal_3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
DO I need go on, I am sure you have a bible on your PC look it up.
I cannot justify, who I am, where I came from, what I do or not do, I cannot justfy the good I do or evil if it be so, if I murdered 1000 people I could not justify it, if I gave money to 1 million people I cannot justify it, it would be foolishness , pride and boasting… “look at me God look at what I did”. I may have being foolish once,,, Do you think any think I do is going to change the Love God has for me or you, to think so makes God like a man, not God, and that is foolishness.
I am justified by Him who became sin for all men so that sin would not have a hold on them.
Its interesting, a courtyard Christian, I presume you do not know what the happens at salvation,
Being washed and made clean by His blood, sanctified by Him, clothed in His righteousness
Rom_3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference
Baptized into His death – See sons of Zebedee
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Made righteous by Him
Rom_5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
And because of all His works, and His righteousness, we now have acces to God.
Eph_2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
See I know where I came from I know where I am going and I know who my Father is,
He has so much to give you, to teach you to show you, the bible is barely a glimpse into the one who created all things, it is all there for those who believe.
