GOD HAS RECONCILED WITH MAN 2Co 5:18 AND ALL THING ARE OF GOD, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2Co 5:19 To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, RECONCILING THE WORLD UNTO HIMSELF, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Eph 2:16 And that he might RECONCILE both unto God in one body by the cross, HAVING SLAIN THE ENMITY THEREBY. God initiated the reconciliation project for man all by Himself. He was in Christ doing His family business for His family progress. This project is an everlasting project. We should not make God to look like a fool by not playing our own part in this project that has been init...

FULFILLING THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY (Ga 5:13) ¶ For, brethren, ye have been CALLED UNTO LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. ( Ga 5:1 ) ¶ STAND FAST THEREFORE IN THE LIBERTY WHEREWITH CHRIST HATH MADE US FREE, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (James 1:25 )But whoso looketh into the PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (James 2: 8-12) ¶ If ye FULFILL THE ROYAL LAW according to the scripture, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art bec...
THE GOSPEL IS TO REVEAL THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND NOT TO REVEAL SIN. (ROMANS 1:16) ¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Philipians 3:9 )¶ And be found in him, NOT HAVING MY OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, but that which is through the faith of Christ, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WHICH IS OF GOD BY FAITH. (Ga 2:21) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for IF RIGHTEOUSNESS COME BY THE LAW,THEN CHRIST IS DEAD IN VAIN . The purpose of the Gospel is to reveal the righteousness of God by faith in Christ.The Gospel is the solution to man. 1.It is the power of God to save the sinners 2. It reveals the righteousness of God with comes by faith . The law does not bring revelation. It produces ...
GOD JUSTIFIES THE UNGODLY (Roman 4:3 -7)For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on HIM THAT JUSTIFIETH THE UNGODLY, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. (Romans 5: 6 -8)¶ For when we were yet without strength, in due time CHRIST DIED FOR THE UNGODLY. {in due time: or, according to the time}7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Roman 4: 20-25) . He staggered( Abraham) not at the promise of God through...
STOP COUNTING INIQUITIES AND PREACH THE GOSPEL. (2Cor 5:18) And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, NOT IMPUTING THEIR TRESPASSES UNTO THEM; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. {committed...: Gr. put in us} 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 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. (Romans 3: 24-25) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:25 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. ...
NO CONDEMNATION FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE IN CHRIST (Romans 5:18-20) Therefore as by the offence of one JUDGEMENT CAME UPON ALL MEN TO CONDEMNATION; even so by the righteousness of one the FREE GIFT CAME UPON ALL MEN UNTO JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE. 19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Now see this....(Roman 8: 1 ) ¶ There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit . Sin came because of the law. Judgement came because of sin and condemnation came because of judgement.There is no law for those who are in Christ Jesus so there is no sin to those who are in Christ Jesus a...
THE MESSAGE OF THE LAW IS SIN . ROMANS 7:7 ¶ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I HAD NOT KNOWN SIN, BUT BY THE LAW: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. {lust: or, concupiscence} 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For WITHOUT THE LAW SIN WAS DEAD. The law is a deceiver. It teaches about sin and tell you not to commit them. Contradiction!.We thank God for Jesus Christ who teaches about LOVE so that we will not remember sin. We do not have anything to do with the knowledge of sin but we have everything to do with the knowledge of love for God is love. ( John4:8) He that loveth not knoweth not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE. . The more we study love we study God. The knowledge of the law cannot reveal God for God IS NOT LAW BUT GOD IS LOVE.A man of the law is not a man of God because God does not dwell in the law.A man of love is a man of God because G...
