How does Yeshua make a person right with God?

[MatthewG]

Romans 5 - How Christ makes one right with God​

Faith Triumphs in Trouble​

5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, [a]we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces [b]perseverance; 4 and perseverance, [c]character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Christ in Our Place​

6 For when we were still without strength, [d]in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Because of Paul and his revelation of the things which Christ had done and he founded upon with-in the Old Testament. We see here that even before in chapter 4 about the faith of Abraham I believe, people who come to Christ, are justified by faith.

While at first, without God in one's life, you may have not had peace - a spiritual peace that was once before, because Paul talks through chapters 1 and 2, about those who were unbelievers, and also those who were believers but they still did not have peace they judged and condemned others for the things they did themselves and were blind to that fact, because why? They did not know God, they did not know Jesus and what he came to do.

Paul encourages those who are in Rome (who were freely at the time allowed to worship Yahava freely; and the Lord Jesus Christ); though troubles and tribulations did come, because of the faith they had brought them into a hope which was in the glory of God, and they stood in grace.

With the trials that came upon them, there was also a step forward, not a step backward in producing character - in persevering, which leads to Hope because it's Gods peace and being made right with God through faith - which presses forwards to continue to love God and love others and become conformed to Christ's image - by the Spirit with-in though our flesh can get caught on the nail of sin that is with-in us from time to time. Those who are believers are covered now by the death of Christ, however, Jesus died for the ungodly as well, those who had yet to turn to him. Those who choose to actively pursue in faith, are now saved by his life, in which Paul and so many others in their day rejoiced, in God through the Lord Jesus Christ, which they had received reconciliation.

That same offer is forwarded today, it just requires belief and faith - but at the cost of growing to know God and Jesus better, so that you can continue to have a fortified faith and stand on the foundation that has been laid out. That your house is not so easily tumbled in because of so many winds of doctrines.

Seek God, my friend, seek out who he is and what is about, seek out what he has accomplished and have faith, and trust that there is hope after this life, despite the set backs, despite the looks of others, continue to move forward and grow in faith and love, abiding in the vine that is Jesus, and allow the vinedresser Yahava, to cut you back when you need it.

He teaches us what we need to know to be happy and safe, which is all God wants.

As long as we suffer with him, Bob.

Have you ever heard of how a shepherd will take the skin of a ewe's dead lamb and wrap it around an orphaned lamb so the bereaved ewe will accept it as her own?

That's the way Jesus makes us right with God. When we reach out to him and accept him he covers us in his blood so that the Father God sees us as his own children.

Without the blood of Jesus covering us we are sinners and God can't look at us. We can only come close to God through the blood of the Lamb.

 

[Behold]

How does Jesus "make us right with God"?

He takes what is making us wrong with God away,. forever.

1.) Sin
2.) Law

so that what we become is "the righteousness of God, in Christ"... ."under Grace".

No, pearl. I have not heard that before.

That's the way Jesus makes us right with God. When we reach out to him and accept him he covers us in his blood so that the Father God sees us as his own children.

That is a beautiful way to put it. You could see it as he wraps his robe around us, the thing is now he is within us by his Spirit. Yes, that is beautiful to know that now as a person who has been covered by the death, burial, and resurrection made into new creations in Him! Eating the flesh of Christ, and drinking the blood of Christ are givens. Suffering on sake for him, humbly and selflessly.

Without the blood of Jesus covering us we are sinners and God can't look at us. We can only come close to God through the blood of the Lamb.

It's a great thing that the blood covers over our sins, and now we can move forward in Christ and grow from babes in Christ to Sons or Daughters of God, as one continues to go through in this life, looking to the Lord. The blood was an end to a means to end sin for all people. Now that blood allows access into the new, the spirit, opposed to the flesh.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful comments.
