God's Love, Justice, and Mercy
Dearly beloved of God, God our Father loves us more than I know how to express with words; He says so. He loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son for us so that we could be as he is. Never forget it.
Who saved us when we were dead in sin, ungodly, and enemies of God, and destined for wrath? God saved us by the accomplishments of Jesus Christ. By His grace we were saved, not by our works.
The justice of God was accomplished by Jesus Christ our Lord, not by us. Jesus Christ believed God to fulfill His Word and Will concerning our justification.
We were not justified because of our goodness, worthiness, fleshly perfection, or our good works. Jesus did the work and God showed us His grace and mercy in him. All we did was believe that he accomplished what His Father sent him to accomplish.
We are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. He believed God to pay the price of redemption, not us. All we did was to believe that he did it by giving his life for us.
Dearly beloved, let me say it again; God’s justice was accomplished by the believing of the Lord Jesus Christ, not by our believing. Read Romans 3: 21-30, and 5:1-21; it is all there.
We look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of the right way of believing. He was the leader down the path and perfecter of the right way of believing, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Jesus Christ is the only one to receive the fulfillment of the promise so far; our time will come when he returns for us on the day of redemption!
Jesus believed to accomplish the will of God concerning our justification, and God glorified him at His right side. All we did was believe on him, and by God’s mercy and grace He saves to the uttermost those who come to Him.
The Lord Jesus Christ will just as surely accomplish our glorification when His Father gives him the command to come and fulfill the good pleasure of His will. We will acquire the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
How do we get our prayers answers? God does not answer them because our believing is so great, but by His grace and mercy towards us in our times of need. Our believing of His Word only puts us in the position of receiving His goodness by His mighty power.
God goes to work with His supernatural power to aid us because of His great love for us. We cast ourselves upon Him, and He shows us His grace and mercy. He cares for us, and He will never leave us, or forsake us; we are His dearly beloved children.
Israel’s deliverance wasn’t in Moses’ staff, it was in the LORD their God; the Living God.
Moses did not perform the plagues against Egypt by his own power, nor did he divide the sea and dry up the seabed so they could escape the Egyptian army through the midst of the sea; God did it.
Moses obeyed God and lifted his staff, and God executed His supernatural spiritual power to deliver them.
How do we get healed? God heals us by His grace and mercy by His mighty power. He sent Christ to pay the price for our forgiveness and our healing. He did the work to accomplish it, not us. All we do is believe that He is good for His Word.
You see dearly beloved, God is our Delivering God, and He freely gives us all things with His beloved Son, we simply believe that he did what God says he did. The Almighty then shows us His grace and mercy and delivers us by His supernatural power; He performs His Word.
We are nothing without Him; with Him we need no other. His grace and mercy are always sufficient for us in all things.
Go to Him with your whole heart and cast all our cares upon Him with childlike confidence; He cares for you, and He is able and willing to deliver you.
Remember who believed what, dearly beloved.
