One hits the mark
right on if Christ is in him or her and dominant in one's life. How can
we know this for sure?.1John
4:17
The Creator declares you
perfect
if Christ's nature is in you,
because
He is absolute perfection and apart from the holy purpose
of calling others to Christ, has nothing to do with anything unlike Him,
in fact, even hides
from them.
Creator-God declares you
perfect without requiring obedience to anything:.Ephesians
2:5 "Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened
us together with Christ. By grace you are saved.(not
by works; works get you a reward, not favor with God, where He would look
at you and say 'now there's a good man, he's the kind of upstanding
person that is well regarded in
social.society
that I could use in a high position in my realm';
instead, what does Creator-God consider?.Isaiah
66:2).".And
Romans
16:26 and Ephesians 2:8,9."For
by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves. It is
the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast."
But we are to have works
as the next verse shows:.Ephesians
2:10. Why?
Perfection is by Him:.Hebrews
7:11,15-17,22. Your job now is to abound in that perfection by thinking
often of the fact that you now have His nature of love in you.
Thoughts change things, but
you have to turn on the thoughts. You always
have free choice to or not. To rid a room of darkness, you have to
do something; turn on the light switch.
The Mosaic
Law was a dog.
It made nothing perfect.(Hebrews
7:19), yet some persons are still
'hung up' on keeping it or parts of it and this is not good for them 1,
2.
What's the option
then?
We are faultless thanks to
what God did by coming here and doing what was done in the physical person
of Emmanuel who became the Christ.
Anyone's keeping of the Mosaic
Law or any of its parts is now unnecessarily
keeping them to be in a righteous stead
with the Infinite One:.Jude
1:24 "Now unto Him that is able.(if
you 'turn on the light').to
keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence
of his glory with exceeding joy.".Keeping
some old now defunct law
thinking it is pleasing to God, is just bad practice based on superstition
and ineptness:.Galatians
3:1 "O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched
you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Emmanuel Christ
has been evidently set forth, crucified among you?"
