True-believer Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 "Truth. It lies somewhere between Genesis 1:1 and Revelation 22:21" -Cosmin M. (Me Pilate says, "What is truth?" Jesus says, "I am the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life." Quote Luke 4:19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Robert Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 And when I stand before the judgment seat of God, and the law of God says to me, “Have you obeyed me?” I will not say to the law, “Well, I did my best.” The law says, “I did not ask that question.” “Well, I kept most of the law.” The law will say, “I did not ask you that question either. Have you obeyed me in every detail?” “Well, I goofed up a few times.” And the law says, “I’m sorry, you must die. Once is enough.” But I thank God I will not answer the law that way. I will say, “Yes, I have obeyed you perfectly.” The law will say, “When did you obey me perfectly?” “When I was in Christ. Then I had perfect obedience.” But the law will say, “You’re a sinner, you must die.” And I will say to the law, “Well I have bad news for you, I have already died.” The law will say, “When did you die?” I will quote to the law Galatians 2:20: I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live.... The law will say, “Well, if that’s your position, then you are free to live.” And I will say to the law, “Thank you.” Because, in Christ, the law has been established on behalf of you and me. That is what verse 31 says. God doesn’t bypass His law to justify us. God holds His integrity to His law when He justifies me through His Son Jesus Christ. Because, in His Son’s holy history, God has met every demand of the law for you and for me. That is the “good news” of the Gospel. Isn't this good news? Quote
