| | "Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight." Rom 3:20
If scripture is true (which it is whether you believe it or not), the law came into existence through Moses to show me and everyone else that we are in need of a Savior. Paul also says that the law came in order to stop our mouths from any claim to righteousness and to render the whole world guilty before God.
I am sick of the fake gospel. The one that is popular and says God wants me to be healthy, wealthy, and never have any pain. That is complete bull! If God has ordained something to pass then it WILL happen. Jesus did not come to make me feel good about myself.
Jesus said in Luke 14:26, "If anyone comes to Me (meaning those who wanted to be His true followers) and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.
Christianity is not about us! It is not about our self-esteem, health, wealth, and happiness. It is about us becoming sick of sin and absolutely desperate for forgiveness.
"Being crucified was a degrading insult and the idea of worshipping someone who has been crucified is absolutely unimaginable." John MacArthur
I will boldly say to anyone that my hope is placed in a man who was cursed. "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Cor. 5:21 |
