When
each of us Stands before the Lord
All of
our Sin we have not Repented of will be shown to us.
And
that Sin will Condemn us.
If we
have Repented of our Sin,
Then,
that Sin will not be remembered by the Lord,
It
will be as if it had never existed,
And
there will be nothing to Condemn us before Him.
What
is Sin?
It is
that which is Against God and His Word.
All
Sin is Against God. (Psalm 51:4)
What
is Evil?
It is
that which is Against God and His Word.
All
Evil is Against God.
Christ
Jesus Died for the All the Sin of All the World
From
the beginning of Time and Forever.
But
His Purchase of Forgiveness
Is
only made effective for each of us through Repentance.
Repentance
is the beginning of Faith.
It is
responding to the Conviction of the Holy Spirit
Who
points out our Sin to us.
When
we respond to His Conviction through Repentance,
We are
Forgiven.
Then,
we, in turn, must Forgive those who have Sinned against us,
Or the
Father cannot Forgive us. (Matthew 6:15)
If we
cannot Forgive those who have Sinned against us,
That,
in itself, is Sin.
Further,
the Lord tells us this:
18
When I say to a Wicked man, 'You will surely Die,'
And
you do not speak out to Dissuade him from his Evil Ways
In
order to Save his life,
That
Wicked man will Die for his Sin,
And
I will hold you Accountable for his blood.
19
But if you do warn the Wicked man
And
he does not turn for his Wickedness
Or
from his Evil Ways, He will Die for his Sin;
But
you will have Saved yourself.
20
'Again, when a Righteous man turns from his Righteousness
And
does Evil, and I put a Stumbling Block before him,
He
will Die.
Since
you Did Not Warn him, he will Die for his Sin.
The
Righteous Things he did will Not Be Remembered,
And
I will hold you Accountable for his blood.
21
But if you Do Warn the Righteous man Not To Sin
And
he Does Not Sin,
He
will surely live because he Took Warning,
And
you will have Saved yourself.'
(Ezekiel
3:18-21)
Only
In Christ Are We Made Alive
AS
FOR YOU,
YOU
WERE DEAD IN YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS AND SINS,
2
IN WHICH YOU USED TO LIVE
WHEN
YOU FOLLOWED THE WAYS OF THIS WORLD
AND
OF THE RULER OF THE KINGDOM OF THE AIR,
THE
SPIRIT WHO IS NOW AT WORK I THOSE
WHO
ARE DISOBEDIENT.
3
All of us lived among them at one time,
Gratifying
the Cravings of our Sinful Nature
And
following its Desires and Thoughts.
LIKE
THE REST, WE WERE OBJECTS OF WRATH.
4
But because of His Great Love for us,
God,
Who is Rich in Mercy,
MADE
US ALIVE WITH CHRIST
EVEN
WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN TRANSGRESSIONS--
IT
IS BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED.
6
And God raised us up with Christ
And
Seated us with Him in Heavenly Realms in Christ Jesus.
7
In order that in the Coming Ages
He
might show the Incomparable Riches of His Grace,
Expressed
in His Kindness to us IN CHRIST JESUS.
8
FOR IT IS BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED, THROUGH FAITH--
And
this is Not from yourselves,
IT
IS THE GIFT OF GOD—
9
NOT BY WORKS, so that No One can Boast.
10
FOR WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP,
CREATED
IN CHRIST JESUS TO DO GOOD WORKS,
WHICH
GOD PREPARED IN ADVANCE FOR US TO DO.
(Ephesians
2:1-10)
