Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-21

Part 2

1 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit…

Yesterday we discussed the fact that Jesus dying once, for all of us, eliminated the need for constant sacrifices to atone for our sins. His death covered them all, for eternity.

Today, let’s see what else we can learn from this powerful verse.

Immediately after telling us that Christ suffered (died) once for our sins, we are told that His life, which was just (pure), was given for us, the unjust (the impure).

This is much deeper than our human minds can truly grasp.

Yes, we may get the concept of it. But we will never be able to truly understand it in its deepest depths.

Our sins make us filthy before God. He cannot even look upon us because of those sins.

The prophet Isaiah said (in Isaiah 64:6) that “all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags”.

In other words, there is absolutely no righteous act that we can perform that will remove the stain of our sins. Not even a perpetually righteous lifestyle can make us clean before God.

With Christ, however, because He traded Himself (the just) for us (the unjust), we are given the opportunity to be made clean (righteous) by simply embracing Him (putting our faith in Him).

The moment we do that, we become clean in God’s sight. We are made whole and pure, with the stains of our sins washed away; gone forever.

Think about that; the just for the unjust.

Again, this is more than our minds can truly comprehend.

Let’s ponder on this for a while, and then we can talk more about it tomorrow.

Stay tuned…

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-28-21 – Blameless

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings, brothers and sisters in Christ! 

Job was a man who went through some pretty difficult trials, despite living a righteous life and being called an upright man by God Himself. 

There are so many lessons we can learn from the book of Job and the things that he faced. 

In our newest video, Blameless, we teach on a couple of those things, dealing specifically with righteousness through Christ vs. living a righteous lifestyle, and how they vastly different from each other. 

We think you’ll enjoy it, so we hope you’ll give it a watch.

Enjoy your day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-19-18

Romans 4:5 (NKJV) 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness…

Our good works do not make us righteous in God’s eyes. It doesn’t happen that way.

Some types of religious organizations may promote good works as a way to obtain righteousness. But, righteousness in God’s eyes comes through having faith and believing in who Jesus says He is, and what He did for each one of us.

When we give our life over and surrender it up to Him, that faith that we have in Him is accounted for righteousness.

This is all made possible by the blood of Christ. His shed blood washed away our sins and made it possible for God to look upon us as righteous and cleansed; spotless.

We can’t get this by our good works or good deeds. It’s by faith and faith alone.

Do we believe on Him, Jesus Christ, who justifies the ungodly? Do we trust Him as our Redeemer, Healer and Provider? If so, then our faith is accounted for righteousness!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-23-15

Romans 3:9-10 (NKJV) 9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. 10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one;

There isn’t a single one of us who has anything to offer God.

We are all impure, stained by our sin and guilty of more than we could ever even hope to repay or compensate for by our own righteousness.

Our righteous acts, apart from Christ, are nothing. They are like dust that blows in the wind and disappears, leaving nothing behind but traces of dirt.

Isaiah 64:6 (NKJV) 6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;

But get this; God loved us so much that He overlooked our sinful state and created a way for us to have fellowship with Him!

Through the blood of Jesus, God sees as us fit to come before Him and talk to Him, fellowship with Him and make our requests known to Him.

The holiness of God and the desperately-fallen state of man are two things that our minds can never fully comprehend. We can see bits of pieces of how badly the human race has fallen, but we will never truly understand the depth of it.

We can see glimpses and bits & pieces of God’s holiness, but we will never be able to truly grasp His holiness.

In our fallen state, we could not stand in His presence. It would be literally impossible for us to do so and live.

But through the blood of Jesus, we can approach Him boldly, without fear, and not worry about losing our life because of it.

Thank you, Father, for your provision and your grace over our lives!

Let’s thank Him today for making a way for us, bridging the gap between us and Him, removing the barriers of sin, through Jesus, once and for all.

He is worthy to be praised and adored!
