You are the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ

1. You are the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ: No matter who you are and how good you live your life, you are still a sinner. Unless you recognize that you are no better than the homosexuals, liars, drunkards, prostitutes then you cannot appreciate the gift of salvation and the amazing grace of God. The word of God said that all our righteousness is as filthy rags. The truth is we have no righteousness of our own except the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ. We were all born in sin and shaped in iniquity. Yes, we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We will not enter into heaven because of how good we are but because of faith in what Jesus Christ has done. And as a result of that faith we can please God in our thoughts, attitudes behaviours and actions. Then Jesus explained his meaning: “I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do. St. Mat. 21:31nlt And note this: Some who seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the greatest now will be least important then.” St. Luke13:31 I NEED JESUS EVERY DAY HOUR MINUTE AND SECOND. I CAN OF MYSELF DO NOTHING!!! 2. God of Secon Chances: So you find yourself doing what you thought you would never do again. Be encouraged we all have been there. When we fall we must get right back up again and go to Jehovah’s mercy seat where we will find his grace waiting to cleanse and restore us. The danger is when we stayed there and continue to justified our behavior by our faulty theology that believes we can continue to live in sin because we have Grace. We should pray hard against presumptuous sin it is the kind we know is wrong, feels conviction about, and continues to incorporate it as a part of our lifestyle by silencing our conscience. We thus becomes a slave to sin and once again under its domination. This implies to the world that the power of Jesus Christ is unable to deliver and keep from all sin, without recognizing that God has never taken away or violates our will or our right to choose. Jesus Christ in His birth, death, and resurrection did not die to take away our will He died to take away our sins by giving back to us the power of choice or the will to choose what is right! (#workingoutmyownsalvation#). Like a dog that returns to its vomit Is a fool who repeats his folly. Prov. 26:11 And when people escape from the wickedness of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then get tangled up and enslaved by sin again, they are worse off than before. It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life. They prove the truth of this proverb: “A dog returns to its vomit.” And another says, “A washed pig returns to the mud.” 2 Peter 2:20-22

Gossiping/lying

Beloved stop repeating things you know nothing about. Stop repeating lies. Lying lips are an abomination unto God but He takes delight in those who are truthful (Prov.12:22). If sonething affects you directly and you want to know the truth then go to the source. Some people believe everything they hear from others. Remember that what we believe has the potential to influence what we think, our behaviors and our attitude. When you believe a lie about someone and when you speak that lie it has the potential to harm others. But it also has the potential to harm the speaker of that lie. YES the devil with his evil strategies come to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). Lies are of the devil he is the father of lies. When you continue to circulate and recycle lies it shows that you are of your father the Devil. So repent and turn to Jesus Christ who will clean you up and put you on the path of truth. AMEN There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. Prov.6:16-19 EPHESIANS 5:27 – That He might present to Himself the church In all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. #cleanseyourhearts #stoppointingfingers #stopgossiping #Stopslandering 2. Not funny: MY FRIENDS…BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU FIND FUNNY AND WHAT YOU LAUGH AT…This maybe an indication of your heart’s condition/mindset. I noticed that some of our posts are oppressing in nature–to say the least! We tend to laugh and critizes others who may look, act, live differently from us. Just remember that many people do not feel good about themselves due to the internalization of negative beliefs, values, etc./lack the knowledge and opportunity for self actualization. We should have enough knowledge to know that all forms of discrimination is wrong and unacceptable. Don’t confuse judgements, descriminatory comments and insulting remarks, etc as TRUTH! As Christian we should be much more vigiliant knowing that God is love and God takes no pleasure in EVIL; and loving others as you love yourself is HIS command. No offense intended and I’m also admonishing myself….IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE!
