GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST.
GOD IT'S YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHEN I SPEAK YOUR WORD,
GOD IT'S YOUR VOICE THAT IS FILLING ME!
GOD IT'S YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHEN I SPEAK YOUR WORD,
GOD IT'S YOUR VOICE THAT IS FILLING ME!
"FOR THROUGH RELIGION I DIED TO RELIGION, SO THAT I MIGHT LIVE FOR GOD. I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST AND I NO LONGER LIVE, BUT CHRIST LIVES IN ME. THE LIFE I LIVE IN THE BODY, I LIVE BY FAITH IN THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME."(Gal.2:20)
"RELIGION THAT GOD OUR FATHER ACCEPTS AS PURE AND FAULTLESS IS THIS: TO LOOK AFTER ORPHANS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR DISTRESS AND TO KEEP ONESELF FROM BEING POLLUTED BY THE WORLD."(James 1:27)
RIGHTEOUSNESS THROUGH FAITH:
"BUT NOW A RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD, APART FROM LAW, HAS BEEN MADE KNOWN, TO WHICH THE LAW AND PROPHETS TESTIFY. THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD COMES THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST TO ALL WHO BELIEVE, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE, FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, AND ARE JUSTIFIED FREELY BY GOD'S GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME BY CHRIST JESUS. GOD PRESENTED CHRIST AS A SACRIFICE OF ATONEMENT, THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST BLOOD. GOD DID THIS TO DEMONSTRATE GOD'S JUSTICE, BECAUSE IN GOD'S FOR BEARANCE GOD HAD LEFT THE SINS COMMITTED BEFOREHAND UNPUNISHED - GOD DID IT TO DEMONSTRATE GOD'S JUSTICE AT THE PRENSENT TIME, SO AS TO BE JUST AND THE ONE WHO JUSTIFIES THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS. WHERE THEN, IS BOASTING? IT IS EXCLUDED. ON WHAT PRINCIPLE? ON THAT OF OBSERVING THE LAW? NO, BUT ON THAT OF FAITH. FOR WE MAINTAIN THAT A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH APART FROM OBSERVING THE LAW. IS GOD THE GOD OF THE JEW ONLY? IS GOD NOT THE GOD OF GENTILES TOO? YES, OF GENTILES TOO, THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, WHO WILL JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISED BY FAITH AND THE UNCIRCUMCISED THROUGH THAT SAME FAITH." (Rom.3:21-30)
CONSEQUENTLY, FAITH COMES FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE AND THE MESSAGE IS HEARD THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST. (Rom.10:17)
"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
