I have an excel sheet with 2 columns, the left is "to-dos" and the right is "done". I think for the first time since I started this blog, the right column is out growing the left. chyeeah. It is a sweet thing to cut the lines from the left and paste them in the right.
Reminds me just how simply God cut me out of the condemned column and pasted me in the justified column. That easy. Maybe he even used a mouse. ? Feel free to comment if tht didnt make sense. I can explain. Peace
please xplain... lol
ReplyDeleteAs easy as it is for us to highlight, cut and paste a line from one column to another on a computer, it is that simply that God took the condemnation we deserved for our sin and took it upon himself. Christians believe this is what the cross was all about. Like an account transaction. Romans 3:23 says "For the wages of sin are death" Meaning our imperfections keep us from standing before a perfect God. And deductively, what we deserve for that reality is death eternally since we cannot be in his presence. But God being merciful and just, fulfilled the debt we owed him by paying it himself. Everyone knows only the loan officer who gave you the money can remove the lien and make you debt free. God was and is the only one to fulfill the sentence, since he instituted the consequence to begin with. But to fulfill the payment of death, he would have to be flesh. Spirit does not die. So he manifested himself in flesh, died to cover our debt and then rose to prove that He truly does have power over life and death. Making his claim true.. that whoever believes in Him does not perish, but has eternal life.
ReplyDeleteLove you girl.
John 3:16 is where that final claim quote came from. FYI
