This is our God 3 Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV [22] It is of the Lords mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23] They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. God is merciful. Sin was a death sentence. Genesis 2:17 KJV [17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Pauls interpretation here was trite. Romans 5:12 KJV [12] Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: God never authors(ed) nor commissions(ed) sins. James 1:13 KJV [13] Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: In Him is no darkness at all (1John1:5). His sovereignty isnt tyranny. He does Whatever He wishes! Thats not what Jesus told us! Contextual reading helps. Especially interpreting Old Testament statements in The Light of Christ Jesus. He has seen the Father John 1:18 KJV [18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. He is the Father- Manifest John 14:9 KJV [9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then , Shew us the Father? He is God in the Flesh (John1:14, 1Timothy 3:16). He wont destroy His haters. Luke 9:54-56 KJV [54] And when his disciples James and John saw this , they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55] But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56] For the Son of man is not come to destroy mens lives, but to save them . And they went to another village. Thats our God! If He had done otherwise ,then We have doubts on His identity. For He had thus revealed The Father. Matthew 5:44-45 KJV [44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you ;45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. He Doesnt curse. In Moses law is sins manifestation. The strength of Sin is thou shall not. Its virility is thou shall die. The Curse is sins masterpiece . The law makes its blessings conditional . With none to meet the conditions. The Law seeks to bless not. It only finds faults. Romans 3:19-20 KJV [19] Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20] Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. No justification ,No blessing. Nothing in the pronouncements of Moses could bless. Romans 5:13 KJV [13] (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Impute means to account for, Point out, Record. Hebrews 8:7-8 KJV [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second . 8] For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Faultless here isnt the contrast of faulty. It means without looking for fault. This Law looked for faults. Jesus is the Father Manifest. John 1:17 KJV [17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. He will not destroy the Law. That will mean to deny the existence of sin. That wont be righteous. Gods ways are upright . Deuteronomy 32:4 KJV [4] He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. Jesus will fulfil the Law. Matthew 5:17-18 KJV [17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Notice ,He uses a personal pronoun, I. Not We or you as some ignorantly think and thus seek to fulfill the law. I am come to fulfil . Fulfil means to meet demands of. To pay for. Discharge an obligation. This He did. He died. Romans 10:4 KJV [4] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. End here means fulfilment . Galatians 3:13-14 KJV [13] Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14] That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Redeem means Pay. Buy back, debts. Discharge an obligation . He ,the guiltless Is given to die. Why man never was consumed ,is now clear. The Promise of redemption precedes sin. Ephesians 1:4 KJV [4] According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Before Sin entered, Jehovah is Jireh. It means He foresaw, and Provides. Titus 1:2 KJV [2] In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Life before death came. 1 Peter 1:19-20 KJV [19] But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot 20] Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, The blood wasnt an afterthought. Else we shall doubt Deitys knowledge. To react will imply humanity. The blood ( in its promissory note)preceded sin. Revelation 13:8 KJV [8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. The Earlier / clearer translations have it as book of life from the foundation of the World of the Lamb that was slain. Very correct and consistent with scriptures. This book is the symbolic picture of the intercessory Work of Christ. It depicts records .Here things are imputed for or against . This book is for us,its about the slain lamb . It will be our advocate not adversary . His mercies preceded sin. The promise of this was seen in time. Gods mercies . New every morning. Gods sovereignty is His Mercy(ies) Which is Good over Evil. Light over darkness. Love over Hate. Mercy over Judgment . Christ over Moses. John 5:45 KJV [45] Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. He does the advocacy (1john 2-1-2) He has sealed Moses lips for ever! The Cross over Statutes . God aids us against the enemy. His Sons death is everything. The greatest revelation of the shed blood was penned down accurately by Jeremiah. And interpreted by the Hebrew writer. Hebrews 8:11-13 KJV [11] And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12] For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13] In that he saith, A new covenant , he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. We shall Know God. For (this means because) ,He will be merciful and remember sins no more. This makes some clergy uncomfortable . It amazes me as they will not adorn pulpits without the daily, hourly and per second reality of this promise. For even the apostles said this much Acts 15:10-11 KJV [10] Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11] But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. You cant bear the law . No one ever did, Its like glorifying what sin did in the garden. Some have said now as Gods sons they can and should do the law. Thats false doctrine . The law isnt for Sons. Galatians 3:25-26 KJV [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. No good parent will foster fellowship with decrees. Galatians 4:5-7 KJV [5] To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6] And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7] Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. It wasnt made for justified men. 1 Timothy 1:9 KJV [9] Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, Just like Jesus, We are Sons. Paul speaks of his apostleship- 1 Timothy 1:13-15 KJV [13] Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14] And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15] This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Its not law given . Its mercy driven . This ends the law, fulfils Moses conditions. The Old is Gone. Andrew Murray (Respected bible teacher of the 20th century ) puts it this way The blood plus nothing, minus nothing has Done Everything . I agree with him. God isnt an angry, sin searching sanguinary despot. When He became flesh, in His Son. We caught the glimpse. When He hung on the cross which sin had made for its captives, we saw fully the nature of God, which man had searched for thousands of years. Now clearly revealed . He is merciful. The man who refuses this is self-destruct. His destruction will not be Deitys delight. It will be the vicarious accomplishment in sins destruction . Blessed ? Grateful for the Cross, The shed blood, grateful , thankful for His sovereignty, His never-ending mercies, This is our God! Jesus is Lord, We Win! https://facebook/onayinka.olusegun?fref=ts
