Grace connected to the Law?


The Gospel, the joyful message, of Jesus Christ is
God´s love to each and every human being. Having said
that, God´s love and God´s salvation is not depending
on how we feel, or he feels, at the moment.

If you have missed that The Gospel is solidly founded
on LAW (juridik) you have missed a lot of the message.
When you find out that it is about law you will shout
for joy. Law is law. If you are in prison you are so due to
law, and if you are free you are due to law, it does not
change day to day, based on how you feel.

Just because God is LOVE and loves human beings, he
could not just jump over his RIGHTIOUSNESS and by
that the Law; like close his eyes for that we have all com-
mited sin and have fallen away from him;

Book of Hebrews 9:22
"Indeed, under the law almost Everything is purified
with blood, and without the shedding of blood there
is no forgiveness of sins."


There is a LAW DRAMA behind God´s plan of salv-
ation. The Bible calls God the JUDGE. The bible calls
Jesus our ADVOCATE. And the bible calls the devil
the PROSECUTOR of the brethren (Jesus´s).

The Prosecutor, the Devil, uses God´s law, his COM-
MANDMENTS, to day and night, year in and out, prose-
cute every man and woman before God, the Judge. He
knows that God is rightious and that God cannot just
look away and forget that man has sinned.

God hates the devil, because The devil was the one
that wanted to take God´s place in mans life; and so
he tempted Adam and Ewe to be disobedient to God.
Man being evil, selfish, going his own way means that
the devil has man´s attention, not God.

But the loving God, the Judge, had a great salvation
plan. At his perfect time he sent his own Son to be-
come a human being, "born by woman". But the Father
of Jesus was God himself, "Mary had not yet known a
man", even so she was found being with child.


Here comes next truths based on Law: Jesus lived his
whole life without commiting one single sin. He was
obedient even unto death. He did not have to die, death
is not absolutely normal, it is an effect of sin according
to the bible. God let Jesus take our place on the cross,
to suffer all rightious punishment for all sin of mankind.
On the third day God could raise Jesus from the dead,
because he was without personal sin.

When you and I accept that Jesus died in our place -
in forehand, while we were yet sinners - an amazing
exchange will take place, based on LAW. God then gives
us Jesus rightiousness which he won through a whole
life without sin. And we give him our trash; our sin, in that
we give acceptance to that he died for our sin on the
cross, when he was crucified as a bandit / robber.

By this plan God, the ultimate Judge and Law expert, has
declared that his rightious nature is satisfied, at the same
time he wins back every human that wants to turn around
and come back to him. The devil knew Jesus was God´s
Son, and thought he won a victory when he had Jesus
crucified. But boy, how cheated he was by God.


Now the devil cannot use the commandments any more
against those that have accepted Jesus Christ as their
savior. Jesus has now become our Advocate!! The devil
now only have lies left to try to cheat us, trying to get our
attention on him instead of Jesus.

By lies the devil will try to use our feelings, so that we "feel
bad and unforgiven by God".. But then remember - it is all
based on rock-firm law, not any such back and foreward
changing thing as feelings. By holding on to this truth, your
feelings will eventually become obedient servants to you
instead of bringing your mode down.

When you say yes to what Jesus did for you on the cross,
nothing anylonger hinders you, and you become a child of
God the Mosthigh, by accepting his salvation plan. Heaven
is then with you on earth, and your way to heaven is secured
while you follow Jesus closely through the rest of the life.


By this God´s plan, God will now be free to judge the evil
powers of darkness on the day when he choose. Before, if he
were to judge and "take away the evil" like many asks why
he doesn´t, (the Teodice problem) he had to judge man too
at the same time as man is part of the evil before he comes
to God´s salvation.
