"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 19 March 2013, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."
Today's Bible Verse: Romans 3:23-26 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, who God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."
A personal sin may be one of commission (doing something that is prohibited) or a sin of omission (failing to do what is required of us). It may also express it self in either an act or an attitude. In verse 23, sin is portrayed as falling short of God's glory, going astray like a wandering sheep, Isaiah 53:6, transgressing or overstepping the law, Psalm 51:1; Luke 15:29, and trespassing, which means exercising our own wills in the realm of divine authority, Ephesians 2:1.
Sin brings hideous results, affecting not only our relationship with God, but also our relationship with others. If not checked, sin will destroy the natural process of every person. We as Christians should not sin, but if we do, we need to remember, that we have an Advocate before our Abba Father, Jesus Christ, and if we confess our sins, we then will be restored to our relationship and fellowship with God, 1 John 1:9-22.
Propitiation in verse 25, is the act of God, motivated by His Immense Love, whereby He accepts the blood of Christ, as the complete and satisfying sacrifice for all our sins, thus establishing a means of reconciliation between God and man. While the offering of the blood of Christ was a sufficient propitiation for the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2, the complete benefits of His sacrifice are available only to those who by faith, accept this provision for sin.
"Atonement," implies the sacrificial death of a substitute who takes the punishment as offender deserves. Jesus surrendered Himself up to death, represented here in the shedding of His blood. As a substitute, He took the awesome penalty our sins deserved and thus saved us from the punishment that we deserved.
The death of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary, satisfied the Fathers righteous demands. the emphasis is not on the blood as it coursed through the veins of Jesus, but that it was shed for our sins. God can remain just (true to His nature) and still declare us as sinners to be righteous only because Jesus has paid for sin and satisfied God's Holy Law. The sinner is not rendered guiltless, but pardoned. Because His Son, Jesus Christ, has taken our sins upon Himself, God does compromise His Holiness when He forgives us as sinners and He imputes His righteousness to us as sinners.
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace an Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. ALWAYS remember that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in you life, and you yell out, "I CAN'T." GOD WHISPERS to you, "BUT I CAN."
