Hear The Word of The LORD;
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 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: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Rom. 3:21-26 KJV
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus
What a thrill to read those words out loud, and write them slowly with pen and paper contemplating their wonder, power, and perfection for the pure-hearted believer in The LORD Jesus Christ!
They resonate in our hearts because He’s made us in-tune with His Heart.
When you are connected to Father God by Christ, they are sufficient to bestow a lifetime of peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
So we abide.
Why would we stray for an instant outside of the light of the Spirit of God? 1 Jn. 1:6-7 KJV;
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
In the light is where we belong, where we have conquered, where we have rest in His finished work on our behalf. Amen!
Mercy Rejoiceth Against Judgment
Contemplate such a merciful Creator, who; instead of destroying rebels, recalcitrants and sinners, He came to Earth, bearing frail, vulnerable flesh, yet sinned not, walked the perfect life we were created for, and then paid the full price to have us made brand new creatures in Himself.
Glory! If I were still a sinner, I’d turn from unbelief right now and believe on a Creator God who is so gracious, merciful, and just, wouldn’t you?
But, Praise God, He’s already washed me in His Blood, paid for my sins, made me righteous, one with Him, and lifted me into Christ in Heavenly places: He’s fixed me once and for all, so I’m satisfied, content to remain in Him forevermore. Amen.
Hear Him Speak
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Jn. 15:3 KJV
How do we know, how can we be sure?
Because of these three divine witnesses;
Written, Witnessed and Blood-Bought
It is written in the word of God, echoed by The Witness Within, The Holy Ghost in our hearts, and testified by the Blood of Christ in the Holy of Holies. Heb. 12:24 KJV;
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Abel’s blood calls for revenge and justice, God offers mercy and grace for those who’ve believed on Christ.
Come and let’s demonstrate our victory through The Faith of Christ, and continue His works until He appears to take us Home.
Read these precious words slowly out loud, and personalise them because you are in Him.
I am justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus
This is perfect peace, this is Heaven on Earth, this is the joy of eternal life in a human heart.
Without it, we are spiritually bankrupt, and time is short.
Forgiveness, mercy and grace are offered to you from the Hand of God.
Accept His Love, let Him Clothe You in His Righteousness, embrace His Living Word, and never deny, or relinquish, What’s Yours In Christ Jesus.
