To declare, I say, at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the Law. Is He the GOD of the Jews only? is He not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one GOD, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the Law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Law. (Rom 3:26-31)
GOD is just, and declares those of us who are in Him as righteous, not by our own righteousness, for we have none, but because of Him, and our faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. We are not justified by our works, or any works of the Law, for the Law shows us our need for Christ. GOD has not abolished the Law, for we still obey the moral Law, because of our faith in Him and our love for Him.
In this age, whether Jew or Gentile, all sinners are under condemnation and guilty of the Law. All saints, born again by faith and repentance, are free from the Law for justification. That is not a license to sIn, nor is it a rejection of the Law outright, for GOD has not changed, nor does His Word and we are to keep His commandments. We do good works, not to get Salvation or to keep it, but because His Spirit is in us, and He is working through us to do His will and His good pleasure. We observe to do all that He has commanded us, while rightly dividing the Word of Truth, because we love Him who first loved us.
Because of His love, and that we love others, we, His ambassadors, minister to those who are hurting and in need in this lost and dying world. As GOD provides, and as He directs and leads, we show others His love and mercy, that they might come to know Him. As GOD teaches us from His precious Word, we grow in grace, and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ as His disciples and love one another. As GOD commands and where He sends us, we proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and repentance of sin, that those who hear and believe the Good News might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
