Grace connection to Law

The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the joy-
ful message, is God´s love to each and
every human being.

Having said this, it is important to under-
stand that God´s love that is being offered
us in Christ is something rockfirm. It is
not based on how we feel 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
all have actually commited sin and
have fallen away from him;

The Book of Hebrews 9:22
"Indeed, under the law almost every-
thing is purified with blood, and with-
out the shedding of blood there is no
forgiveness of sins."

There is a Law drama behind God´s
plan of salvation. The Bible calls God the
JUDGE. The bible calls Jesus our ADVO-
CATE. And the bible calls the devil the
PROSECUTOR of the brethren (Jesus´s).

The Prosecutor, the Devil, uses God´s
law, his COMMANDMENTS, to day and
night, year in and out, prosecute every
man and woman before God, the Judge.

The devil 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 the devil
tempted Adam and Ewe to be disobed-
ient to God.

Man being evil, selfish, going his own
way means that the devil has man´s att-
ention, not God. That makes the devil
glad.

But the loving God, the Judge, had a
great salvation plan. At his perfect time
he sent his own Son to become 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 com-
miting 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 Jesus won through a whole life
without sin. And instead 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.

By this plan God, the ultimate Judge and
Law expert, has declared that his righ-
ious 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 the greatest victory when
he had Jesus crucified. But boy, how
cheated he became by God.

Now the devil cannot use the command-
ments 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
heat 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 un-
forgiven by God".. But then remember -
it is all based on rockfirm law, not on
any such back and forward changing
things like feelings.

By holding on to this truth, your feelings
will eventually become obedient servants
to you instead of bringing your mode
down and having you lose your faith.

When you say yes to what Jesus did for
you on the cross, nothing anymore
hinders you - and you become a child
of God the Most High, 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 at the same time, as man
is also a part of the evil Before coming
to God and receive salvation.
