Law, Repentance, Faith

Feb22

nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.
Galatians 2:16 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.2.16.NASB1995

Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.
Galatians‬ ‭3:24‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.3.24.NASB1995

No one is justified by the Law of God because no one – because of sin – can keep the law. Every living being has broken the law of God, but thank God for His law that opens our eyes to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.

‭‭For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,
Romans 8:3 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.3.NASB1995

So, I urge you, to seek the Lord Jesus, for . . .
“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Mark‬ ‭1:15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mrk.1.15.NASB1995

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Matthew 3:2 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.3.2.NASB1995

‭‭then . . . share your testimony.

solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hope and Faith

Feb15

Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
Romans‬ ‭3:19‭-‬20‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.3.19.NASB1995

God gave the law to make us aware that we are sinners. No one person can keep the law for we are sinners by nature. Awareness of our inability to keep the law opens our eyes to the need we have for salvation, found only in Jesus. We must come before God and repent, confess our sin and turn to God in faith. God is where our hope is found.

Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.                            Psalms‬ ‭42:11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.42.11.NASB1995

Repent. Believe. Follow.

🌹And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Hebrews‬ ‭11:6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Do You Know?

Aug30

Thus says the Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord. “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised—
Jeremiah 9:23‭-‬25 NASB

Circumcised in the flesh yet uncircumcised in the heart, in the spirit. Outwardly professing Christianity but inwardly living like the world.
Do you know that you know that you know?

🌹”but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth;”

Wise and Discerning

O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like a luxuriant cypress; From Me comes your fruit.

For the ways of the Lord are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But transgressors will stumble in them.
Hosea 14:8‭-‬9 NASB

The way of the righteous is smooth; O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.

Gladness of Heart

May25

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You.
How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O Lord, they walk in the light of Your countenance.
In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted.
Psalms 89:14‭-‬17 NASB

Are you walking on the solid foundation of God’s righteousnes and justice, enjoying His lovingkindness and truth resonating in and through you?
Our walk with Almighty God is not for “a moment”. A moment of our need. A moment when we are suffering or in despair. Our walk with God is for all the moments, momentS that continue into eternity.
God, how blessed are we who walk in the light of Your countenance and rejoice in Your name ALL day long. It is by Your righteousness alone that we are exalted, for we have no righteousness of our own. You, Lord God, are the glory of our strength. By Your favor we are filled with joy that overflows to others.

🌹With trumpets and the sound of the horn Shout joyfully before the King, the Lord.
Psalms 98:6 NASB

Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.
