God can and will create you whatever you need to be righteous like Him.

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keeps the paths of judgment, and preserves the way of his saints. Then shalt you understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yes, every good path. When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto you soul; Discretion shall preserve you, understanding shall keep you: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks froward things; Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths...Proverbs 2:6-15.

 

Do you love to be wise like Jesus…understanding like Jesus…to walk in righteousness like Jesus…yes or no?

 

Love like Jesus…

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength (effort): this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, You shalt love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these...Mark 12:29-31.

 

Jesus teaching the Jews in the Nation of Israel…being from the tribe of Judah and a Jew, taught the Creator is one Authority and you are to love Him first and foremost and then to love your neighbors as yourself. Remember love works no ill will towards its neighbor. Remember when you pray to the Almighty Creator…He already knows what you need…so keep your words few and trust He will do what is best for your soul.

 

Prayer

Father please grant us repentance and knowledge so we can continue to walk in Your paths of righteousness and to be wise and understanding so we will have discretion and be preserved in righteousness and have peace with You and fellow man in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus will set you free...

The truth will set you free…

 

Promise divine which never can fail…

 

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...John 8:31-32

The truth will set you free from the lie you do not need Jesus, that stealing is not sin, that bearing false witness is not sin, that coveting is not sin, that adultery is not sin, that not honoring your dad or mom is not sin, that murder is not sin, that blaspheming is not sin, or idolatry is not sin…that you do not need Jesus…to have other gods…that not loving your neighbor is not a sin.

 

Jesus is the Truth which sets us free from evil…

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me...John 14:6.

Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you and I could be free to practice all the good God intended us to fulfill our plan and purpose. You do not have to lie…steal…murder…covet…commit adultery…blaspheme…ignore your mom and dad’s needs…commit idolatry…have other sources (gods)…you can live your life and love your neighbor as yourself and be blessed for it. You do not have to out scheme your neighbor you can be free to love your neighbor because Jesus died and was raised from the dead.

 

Jesus died and was raised so Christians are free to love God and our neighbor…

Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law...Romans 13:8-10.

 

Have you fulfilled the Law by loving God and your neighbor as yourself…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father please forgive us for not loving You or our neighbors as ourselves and help us to begin to love…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

I repented and won through Jesus Christ the victory over my sins…

I repented and won through Jesus Christ the victory over this world…

 

Jesus the Advocate…the Lawyer for your soul...

For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith...1 John 5:4.

My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation (forever atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keeps not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in Him...1 John 2:1-4.

 

The Judgement

So…picture a court scene…the accuser begins the accusations…satan…He has broken several of the Commandments…to the Judge…our Creator the Father. He begins by stating everything you have done accurately to the court and Judge. He has stolen…He has lied…He has blasphemed Your Honorable name…He has coveted…etc… the longer the accuser talks the more your head hangs down in shame... because you are guilty. When he is done accusing you…you know you deserve just punishment and hell will be your forever home…but then your Advocate…your Lawyer… Jesus Christ stands up to defend His…He speaks up to the court…and the Judge and begins to say…these accusations should not be punished Father because I have already atoned for these crimes against this court…Father please see Ben (or your name) as Me before you make your judgment. We have already made amends and there is no punishment needed…for even I have laid down my life as a just punishment for this man’s sins and therefore there is no punishment deserved…then the Father bangs the gavel and says not guilty of punishment…you are free.

 

Encouragement to make Jesus your advocate…

Have you won the victory? Have you made Jesus the Advocate (lawyer) with our Father…yes or no? I have the day I was baptized and died to myself and was washed and born of God and began living a life for God. Have you been baptized and clothed with Jesus Christ…yes or no?


For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ...Galatians 3:27.


After you are baptized…God sees Jesus’ work on the cross and His Righteousness not you…so that you are seen as Jesus and sinless although we are learning not to sin…and to become Holy like God, yet because we are but children in diapers does God tolerate and hate our sins until we learn or are taught not to do them again until Jesus comes back to judge the world.


Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus...Romans 3:24-26.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs and forgive our worst of sins…and strengthen us never to do it again…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
