Romans 10-1-15
Notice the Israelites would not submit to God’s righteousness, and sought to establish their own. Sound familiar? Now, we gentiles have fallen prey to that same religious trap, hoping to establish our own “rightness” before a perfect God. Anything short of absolute perfection is total failure. God commanded, “Thou shalt not” and we did, just like everybody else that has ever lived, "we FAILED".
Isn’t this just like mankind, in all generations. We’ve got this Lord, we don’t need your help, we can do this. Rejecting what GOD has done on our behaves, and trying desperately to establish our own righteousness through good works in the energy of our own flesh.
What an exercise in futility. God has told us in Isaiah 64:6 “All of us have become like one who is unclean, and OUR righteous acts are like filthy rags; we ALL shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.” and As it is written: “There is NO ONE righteous, NO not even one; 11 there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God, 12 ALL have turned away, they have together become worthless, there is no one who does good, no not even one” (Romans 3:10-12).
Yet we are willing to sit in a pew once or twice a week and allow some religious guru from some denominational seminary or other, try to convince us we can do this, and if you can’t you just need a little help. Just put your sacrificial gift in the offering plate and we will give you the tools you need to be your own God. No we can not, for if we could, God would have stayed in heaven and not given himself over to wicked men to be tortured and killed to save us from ourselves…
What GOD wants us to know is, his SON, JESUS CHRIST, did something we could never do. HE lived a perfect life before God, and earned the right to become a sacrifice for us ALL. HE took OUR sins upon himself and died the death we deserved to die, "in our place". Paying the penalty of the wages of sin being that of death for you and I. Because according to scripture, “the wages of sin is death.” ) Romans 6:23)
So rather than praising God for the fact he did this for us, because we couldn’t, we chose to ignore it, and go on everyday like Christ did NOTHING.
And of course while we continue to try and make ourselves righteous before God through our self-effort, we add a little extra to the mix by hedging our bets and asking God to forgive us of our sins ever few minutes, just incase we missed something. Well we have missed something and that something is the blood sacrifice of God himself that suffered and died in our place.
Can we not get it through our hard heads that this isn’t about us, it’s ALL about JESUS and NONE of ourselves. Jesus did something, and no we don’t ask him to forgive us every time we remember to do so, because we are told that make’s him happy. No, pretending like it isn’t finished, and the sin issue is still up for grabs isn’t pleasing God. You are in fact proving you are an unbeliever, and an enemy of the cross of Christ and counting as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified you. Does that really sound pleasing to you?
What religious types like to call, “The Lord’s Prayer”, is not and never was. His disciples ask him to teach “THEM” how to pray. Ask yourself when that occurred, was that before or after the cross? See, because after the cross ALL of that changed. The death of Jesus actually brought about CHANGE, BEHOLD ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW!
Are you picking up on that fact? You don’t keep asking for what in Christ Jesus you’ve already been given! Because if you do, you are now insulting the Spirit of Grace. Have you got that?
So it’s like this, “God gave his life for you, so he could give his life to you, so he could live his LIFE in and through YOU.” Let’s take a look at the rest of that scripture in Romans. “The wages of sin is death, but the GIFT OF GOD is eternal LIFE in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23)
Salvation is all about LIFE, not whether or not you’ve been good little boys and girls or not, because you haven’t. God has turned away his wrath, by the BLOOD of JESUS, satisfying his verdict of death forever on your account. This LIFE you received through FAITH IN JESUS, is eternal in the heavens, you can’t lose it, if you screw up again in and hour or so, because you WILL.
Jesus has taken away any fear you had because you are a human, and screwing up is what we humans do best. So we say, thanks be to JESUS who is "GOD"! 1“Therefore, there is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the spirit of LIFE set me free from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:1-2)
It’s time we started THANKING and PRAISING JESUS for what HE ALONE could do, rather than actually trying to go into competition with him in our own self-righteous quest. We’ve been given the very righteousness of JESUS, we now stand by FAITH in Jesus COMPLETED work for us on the cross, his burial and his resurrected life on the third day! Spotless and free of accusation of any kind. I don’t care what you’ve done, whatever that was, it’s been forgiven you through the saving blood of Jesus himself. God looks at you, and calls you his child, and a friend of God if you stand firm in your faith, that Jesus paid it all for you. Believe it, stop doubting. Faith IN JESUS is the ONLY thing that pleases God.
Are you a believer, or only one that provides lip service like so many today that belong to clubs all over the world being called churches? God only has ONE CHURCH my friends and you are placed in that Church which is the Body of Christ at the exact moment you truly believe, Jesus did it all, the price for your salvation has been paid and you’ve been bought, God himself paid it with his very own blood. Because of his perfect LOVE for YOU. Is that good news or what? Share the good news with somebody you care about.
Keep the Faith, for God has given you everything you need for LIFE and Godliness thought your knowledge of Jesus Christ the Lord!
JESUS ❤️ SAVES
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ, FOREVER and EVER.
10 The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so they might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
