Dear Loved Ones of the Lord,
As we continue our journey through the Book of Romans Chapters 5-6, please notice the words found in Romans 5:1.
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Justified. What a fascinating word. It is a word that amazingly describes how we stand in the eyes and eternal view of God. To be justified means that you stand without guilt or blame. Someone once stated that being
justified means God sees me 'just if I'd never sinned". This is the truth of God's view and opinion of you. To be justified means that in the eyes of God you are in equal standing with Jesus Christ. Wow.God sees you as holy, as blameless, as pure, as innocent, as without guilt or blame just like He views His only begotten Son. When God looks at you, He sees the purity and innocence of Jesus Christ. Think of that for a moment and let it sink in. You are justified, not guilty. You are not and will never be condemned. And to be justified goes beyond just being forgiven. It means God sees you as having NEVER done anything which needs to be forgiven. Wow.How many Christians live their lives in a never ending cycle of repentance and guilt? When you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speak to your heart that "you are justified", you know that there is nothing left to repent for (accept the thought that you need to repent)! There is nothing to seek forgiveness for. There is nothing to feel guilt about. God says you are not guilty. God says not only have the charges of the law been dropped against you through the death of Christ, but there is not even a record left that you were ever a transgressor. You are justified. Wow.
Look at the next words, therefore being justified by faith. As we noticed last week, our right standing before God is based wholly and fully on the grace of God through faith. And that faith is the faith OF the Son of God Who loved us and gave Himself for us. So, not only are you pure and innocent in the eyes of God, that fact has nothing to do with your own worked-up faith or belief. It is forever secured, based upon the perfect faith OF the Son of God. Wow.
Christ had/has the faith that when He went to the Cross the demands of the law would be met forever. He had/has the faith that ever charge that could ever be brought against the whole human race was dropped from the Court of Heaven for eternity. The death, burial and resurrection of Christ declare forever to the whole world that you are justified before God. Do you believe that? Even if you don't, for whatever reason, it is still true! And it's all because it is based on the faultless faith OF the Son of God. Rejoice and again I say WOW!
So how does it feel to be perfect and without fault in the eyes of God? Get used to it. It is the only way God ever has and ever will view you, justified. Just if I (you had never sinned). Double Wow.
More Good News to Come,
Michael Williams
Many religious people and religions at large are trying to get self justified , by works, good performance, and religious actions, which is self righteous , and self justification which is done on your own without help of the Lord , or the Holy Spirit, neither a help from grace.
It is on your own report cards, and trying to do it yourself philosophy, which is a shame to the gospel of truth , and to Christ, and the blood of Jesus!

I wish I was inmune to that!
i guess that why I used biblical promises to recieve my healing, because my system failed!
AMEN!

And yet, it is you who claims that it is impossible for born again Christians to obey God. So where is your faith?
There have been many who did acheive perfection while alive. They lived truly holy lives and even their bodies remained incorruptable after they died. So I know that it is possible. Not on our own of course, with with Christ it is possible
Even in the OT, keeping the commandments was not that difficult. Some struggled because of the hardness of their hearts, but others did just fine. Remember the young man who asked Jesus what he must do to be saved? Jesus told him to keep the Commandments, and the young man said that he had always kept them since he was a child. Child's Play. The young man did not struggle with the Commandments, he struggled with his earthly attachments.
Don't preach power if you are not willing to trust it. If you can heal a broken body, then keeping the commandments should be a cake walk. |

I agree. It is much more. And yet, you seem to be reluctant to tap into all that power. You often deny that Grace can transform even your flesh and blood body. Why?
A power that can cure you of AIDS can wipe all sin your heart. But you need to accept it, and let it.
I teach grace , so why would I deny the power of it and how can give us power to win any battles?
Grace can also be seen on us and in our actions and performance, which is an activated anointed power towards us, but still mush , more and I can't see why so many churchy reject the fulness of it!

Read it again. Grace is has everything to do with what I am saying.
How can you tell me that I am the one who is confused when I am the one seeing GRACE in action and you are saying that it cannot do this?
Who are you to dictate what God can or cannot do?
Gay Men and women have gone straight in a world that says that this is not possible and you think SATAN did that? They attribute this to GOD.
You like to twist things around. The Bible says that in the end they will say wrong is right and right is wrong and this sounds a lot like what you are saying.
How can obeying God for any reason be wrong?
Who can saying we trust in Jesus while in the full enslavement by sin, be considered right?
I also know some Transgendered persons who also came back around. One through therapy, another credits God entirely, both are believers. The second left a world of unimaginable sin, and now lives after the spirit instead of the flesh.
They are proof that that with God, ALL things are possible.
These people are often condemned by worldly folks, including those that are still gay. I have even seen them attacked by gay Christians who tell them that they are wrong to even seek change and that it is not possible to change and that God does not even consider homosexuality to be wrong.
The proof is in the pudding. A Christian is to be a beacon of light in the world. We should always be able to spot a Christian even if they don't wear a sign or opening their mouth.
By ourselves it would be impossible, but with Jesus all things are possible.
Grace is not only a helper or power zo deal with something , but much more than those things!

A human being is made in the image and likeness of God. A lion is not.
And before the Fall, Adam and Eve were in God's Grace and had no sin.
Being born again washed away that original sin and made you just like Adam before his fall.
Its up to you to make a different choice than the one Adam made. Jesus gave you all the grace necessary to take a different path. And He is willing to help you out every step of the way. But you have to follow Him, not just say "I believe" its impossible. With Jesus, all things are possible.
I know a woman who used to be a hard core, butch lesbian for a long time and Jesus brought her out of her sin. She is now completely straight. She didn't think this was possible either, but with Jesus she did it.
I know a man who was gay and had a live-in gay lover. He didn't think he could give that up either. He was addicted to sexual immorality and was in so deep he couldn't see daylight, but Jesus brought him out of that too. He is now straight and dating a woman. He still has some temptations, but he finds that with Christ he is able to overcome them. He has left his world of sin behind him. He has put on his New Man and allowed his Old Man to be nailed to the cross.
If you are still struggling, let go. Trust Jesus. By yourself you cannot hope to overcome a lifetime of sin. But no one here is even suggesting that you try to do this by yourself. Let Jesus transform you. He really can do this.
Jesus can make a gay man straight. He can cure porn addicts, and drug addicts and help all sorts of sinners get right with the Father. Jesus is that powerful.
He doesn't just declare us righteous, Jesus scrubs us clean and dresses us up in clean garments and guides us every step of the way. But we have to let Him.
Yes Grace is some of what you are try<ing to say , but it is much more, and that is why you have a half truth and get cinfused and , also why satan can decieve you easier on your lack of knowledge , because of your ignorance of not having the whole truth amd nothing but the truth!

Evangelist, if you don't desire to do sins, you won't commit them.
Simple as that.
Sorry but I am still a human being!
A lion is still a lion no matter how it might be train and can turn once and a while and might eat you to death!
