GOD’S CONCLUSIONS

Common sense will not suffice in every situation. So no matter how tempted you are to draw conclusions about your circumstances before seeking God, don’t do it.  Without the Lord’s point of view, you can only make a faulty judgment of what’s happening to you. Wisdom and knowledge comes from God. The Bible says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10).  One of the assurances God has given us to pronounce for strength, “The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (Psalm 138:8.)  God made Jesus Christ sin who is without sin, as a propitiation for our trespasses, to make us righteous in the eyes of God. Freedom was given to every believer. Jesus took the sins of men and gave His righteousness to them.  An exchange that happened on the Cross. The Scripture relates, “For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him“ (2Cor 5:21) God is calling us through His Son Jesus Christ.  His Words say, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” (John 15:4)       Jesus is the Vine and we are the Branches.  Jesus is life, His blood shed is sufficient for us to bear good fruit, good acts, love, knowledge. The fruit of the Spirit is our renewing of mind. We are asked to abide in God through Christ. Sinners cannot abide, “No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen Him or known Him.” (1John 3:6) Believers are close to God because they hate sin and have the anointing from God. With this anointing, Believers know God. His Word says, “ But the anointing that you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in Him. (1John 2:27)         Everything you need for salvation is given and you can ask God in faith. James 1:5.  Life has value when you live in the Grace of God in Christ. (Rom 1:4-5)  The blood of Christ has cleansed us (Rev 1:5-6), and our past is gone (1Cor 6:9-11).  Sinful hearts are purified not by religious rites but by faith of Jesus Christ (Acts 15:9; Titus 3:5)     You get blessings if you allow “God’s conclusions to fall on you.”  Jesus is Lord and in control. This is Grace.  Go love God and Your neighbor. Be Resurrected. Amen.  Be Blessed.
