Redemption through Jesus's blood



In Ephesians 1:7
"In Him we have redemption through His blood, 
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace."

Jesus blood cleansed all our sins.
Which sin then, yesterday's or today's
no no....   Till we die............

God know's that we human have only 
filthy and dirty heart so, God our
Father who is rich in Grace has given his 
son Jesus's blood to cleanse our sins.

I hope to have this in your heart. 

Bye and take care

Continue........

 I am sharing what I understand in my heart.  
If we can enter into the Kingdom 
of God by keeping the commandments. 
Then Jesus died on the cross is vain.  
He cleansed all our sins not only today but till you die.  
and God calls us Righteous.  
Today's word explains, that we are righteous 
not because we don't sin but,
it is because of the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

Galatians 3
"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness 
comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."

"Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, 
locked up until faith should be revealed.
So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ
 that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, 
we are no longer under the supervision of the law."

Galatians 4:4-5
"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, 
born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, 
that we might receive the full rights of sons."

Conclusion is we can not keep the law, because the purpose of 
the law is to make us to  stumble and to realize that we are the
people only can do sin, so there is no hope but only Jesus.  These
word are not of my own, but telling you the scripture in short. 

The bottom line is, we can not enter into the kingdom of 
God with our own efforts only through believing and receiving Righteousness of God
by having faith in Jesus that He has washed our sins once for all. 

Take care and Bye

Who will enter the kingdom of GOD

Who will enter the Kingdom of God ?
"This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter" - Psalm 118:20

Can we be righteous by keeping the law ?
Now it is obvious that no one is justified(declared righteous) in the sight of 
God by the law, because "The righteous will live by faith." - Galatians 3:11

What is faith and how will you receive it to become righteous?
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" - Romans 10:17

Why we need spiritual Life

Why I am insisting on spiritual things, you might 
be wondering.  People are ready to read 
man written Books, Novels and Movies for hours,
 but they don't have time to read the word of God
it is not you even I.  There are lots of secrets 
written in the Bible. 

   Ignoring Word of God is ignoring God himself
because you know 

John 1 : 1
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word 
was with God,  and the Word was God".

   Word became flush, who is Jesus..............

  All I am saying is not just leave everything and to be super 
spiritual Christian but to live in Christ.

  You might think why have to worry about spiritual,
anyway in my 50's I will involve in reading bible
and doing things of God. The problem is we will 
never know when our life is going to be taken 
away.  

  At the last, Why we have to be spiritual,

Romans 8:6
  "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace".

  I hope you got it, to be in peace we need to be spiritual. 

See you in the Next post

God Justifies the Ungodly


God Justifies the Ungodly

Question: God clearly states "I will not justify the wicked" (Exodus 23:7). That seems to imply that we need to obey the commandments of God in order to be justified.

Answer: Divine justice demands that the righteous person should be justified whereas the wicked should be condemned. It is a miscarriage of justice when lawbreakers are set free and when innocent people are condemned. "He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD" (Proverbs 17:15). We can be sure that God will deal justly with us. Therefore He declares: "I will not justify the wicked" (Exodus 23:7). Since God is absolutely just, He cannot let the sinner go free.

Now that is a fearful thought! For we are all sinners; we have broken God's holy Law. In this sense we are all wicked and therefore we do not stand a chance of escape from Divine justice. God will not justify the wicked!

That is why, if we had to rely on our obedience to the Law, we can never be justified before God. "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin" (Romans 3:20). With tears of sorrow, even the holiest Christian admits his sins ever day. As long as we remain on earth it is a sad reality that we continue to sin. Though there is nothing on earth that I hate more than sin, yet I continue to sin and offend the God who loves me so much!

If we were honest with ourselves, we would not ask whether we have obeyed the Law enough to be justified. We know we haven't! Rather, every one of us should ask: What can free me, a guilty sinner, from my sin? Who can save me from God's righteous anger and punishment? Is there hope for me?

Thank God for His Son. There is hope in the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

The apostle Paul makes this incredible statement in the epistle to the Romans: "To him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness" (Romans 4:5). God justifies the ungodly! He does not say, "God justifies the righteous." That would have been perfectly understandable and just - and it would have spelled despair to all of us sinners. He does not even say, "God justifies the ungodly when he converts and starts doing good works." Paul insists that it is to him "who does not work" but "believes" that God accounts as righteous. God justifies the ungodly by faith alone.

Now that is the good news that we need to hear! Somehow God is able to justify me when I believe in Christ even though I am a sinner.

We realize that this is pure grace - something that we do not deserve. Yet a distressing question immediately springs to mind. How can a just God, who has declared that He will not justify the wicked, justify the believer even though the believer is a lawbreaker? Is God ignoring the Law to show us mercy? The apostle Paul is anxious to answer this problem:

"But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus" (Romans 3:21-26).

God demonstrated His righteousness and uprightness in His gracious dealing with sinners by the sacrifice of His Son on the cross. God set forth His Son as propitiation by His blood.

The word "propitiation" basically means to placate, to pacify, to appease. God is offended and angered by sin. "The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men" (Romans 1:18). Jesus turned aside God's wrath against us who believe when He shed His blood on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. God is appeased because Christ fulfilled the demands of the Law.

Justice and mercy met on Calvary's tree. That is why God could be both "just" and "the justifier" of those who believe in Jesus. God justifies the ungodly who believes because his sins were taken away by Jesus Christ.
