Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. For Thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in Thy Truth.
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Thy wondrous works. LORD, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD. (Psalms 26:1-3, 7-8, 11-12)
Our GOD is a righteous judge, who has already pronounced us guilty and worthy of death. But those of us who know Him and have our sIns forgiven, are seen as righteous in His eyes because of the blood of Jesus Christ shed for us, He is our Redeemer. We now have a relationship with GOD because of our trust in Him. Our faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary is not a license to sIn, nor is it a free pass that somehow guarantees us a place in Heaven no matter what we do.
No, because we continually trust Jesus Christ and His Word, we obey His commands. We continually die to self, and observe to do all that He has told us to do in His Word. We declare Him among the nations, we minister in His Name, we walk in His path; not to earn anything, for we cannot, He has already done everything we need for Salvation and we cannot add to that. He has redeemed us out of this lost and dying world, and translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, not because of anything we have done, but because of His mer.
We rejoice in His mercy, we celebrate His love and share His grace through the Gospel of Jesus Christ for sinners who need a saviour. We bless GOD not to make Him do anything, but because of His great love for us and because we cannot save ourselves.
We thank Him that we who know Jesus are no longer under condemnation, but we are compelled because of what He has done for us to warn the unruly. Those who do not yet have a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ by faith in Him are still dead in their trespasses and sIns. But, GOD is not willing that you should perish, Jesus loves you and wants you to come to Him and repent. Surrender to Him on His terms and be born again. Believe in Him and trust His Word, and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting.
He knows our hearts, and our souls, and He is waiting for you today.
