The Justice of God — Who are you Working for?
The Justice of God
Who are you Working for?
“A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except The LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except The LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.” Psalm 127:1-2 (KJV).
Works do not save us, but — most definitely — our works shall judge us as God keeps in line with His Holy Word.
Supreme Court decisions have no role and can offer no opinion when people stand before The Living God for “Justice”.
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment,” Hebrews 9:27 (KJV).
“Thy Word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever,” Psalm 119:160 (KJV).
Every Christian has God’s word working on their behalf.
Life’s necessities dictate us to study the word of God and wear it like a garment. Jesus blood protects us from the stain of sin.
God sacrificed His Son Jesus as a sin container. When sin spills — it does not have to stick to our garments. Jesus lowered Himself on the cross to suck up sin.
“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.” 2 Corinthians 5:1-4 (KJV).
The Mercy of Jesus Blood
Thank You Father, for Your guarantee!
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness,” 1 John 1:9 (KJV).
God knew Satan was a deceiver from the beginning. He tricked Adam and Eve into removing their covering, and for this cause (yielding to sin, Genesis 3) man accepted the discipline of God.
The blood of Jesus shall never lose its power.
Understand that Jesus blood protects us from the permanent stain of sin. Jesus’ shed blood acts as a shield and covering against eternal damnation.
God looks at sin — then He looks at His Word. Next, He looks at the power of Jesus blood.
Now, everything, all actions, circumstances, and conditions must give place and reverence to the word and will of God. Rightly so, the covering of Jesus blood steps in to wash sin away.
“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” Psalm 138:2 (KJV).
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith The LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18 (KJV).
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19 (KJV).
Jesus’ Blood protects us while transition takes place in the earth (New Heaven and New Earth).
“As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,” 1 Corinthians 15:48-51 (KJV).
The Holy Spirit helps us work against sin. Jesus did not leave us comfortless. He left a Comforter, a Warring Spirit, an Advocate, and a Continual Helper.
Thank You LORD for The Holy Ghost!
We have no excuse for not winning the war against Satan and sin. The blood of Jesus shall never lose its power.
“I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me,” Romans 7:21 (KJV).
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid,” John 14:26-27 (KJV).
“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. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse,” Romans 1:16-20 (KJV).
God is emphatically clear about His stance on sin. He is equally clearer on our role and duties as Christians. Mercy comes new every morning and Grace abides in the life of a Believer.
Neither Grace nor Mercy shall be present in God’s final justice. He will rule by His word taking into consideration the works of man.
Man’s salvation does not come through works. However, in “God’s Justice”, man’s works determine pivotal outcomes.
God is so asking us to choose Him. There will not be much profit in choosing a Democrat or Republican — if we are not working for Him.
The LORD is watching our works and He is judging according to His standards.
The world offers options. Clearly, the Father gives us to choose His wisdom and truth. Sin is in the world until The Messiah returns. Get back under the Blood Covering of Jesus!
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV).
“For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour,” Titus 3:3-6 (KJV).
“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:22-28 (KJV).
“For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as The LORD gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
And again, The LORD knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s,” 1 Corinthians 3:4-23 (KJV).
Peace Out,
The Blessing of The LORD Be upon You,
