Greetings recent posters,
I have selected a little bit that speaks somewhat of the Righteousness of God, from your replies, for which i do thank you. Please note that the bits/parts I did not quote are not to be thrown out but if i may...
it seems that we are looking at the letter and have 'missed' what is written? [generally speaking from the replies in the thread thus far - no judgement though]
If i /we could please look at the bits i have quoted here.
Mercy and Grace; Love and Compassion... for who? [hint... it was not for only those who believe ... but it is for all who believe to be partakers of in a way that expressed/expresses itself in/by faith. note that "all have sinned" ]
Who is this Jesus....
These passages/verses show to some extent the 'result' of His Righteousness.
Yet there is something that we seem to be missing. Perhaps rather than looking at the result, we would be better served to consider again, what does God's righteousness look like [again, not the result or even the effect, but let's look a little closer at our Father's heart and, if possible, hear His heartbeat. ]
All through Scripture we see His Righteousness.
hint two: is it related to His Love?
Bless you my Brothers and Sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ ....><>
