Ladies and Gentlemen – why is it that we FEAR?
Oh, foolish Galatians (Americans)! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of His death on the Cross. Let me ask you this one question:
Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not!
You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ. How foolish can you be?
After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?
Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it?
I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not!
It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.
In the same way, Abraham believed God, and God counted him as Righteous because of his Faith.
The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their Faith, their Hope, their Trust in God.

Dear ones, WE have the Atonement of the Precious Blood of the Lamb of GOD that has been sprinkled on the Mercy seat of the Covenant between God-Jehovah and mankind. When our Heavenly Father looks at us, He sees our hearts and He filters this appraisal of our worth through the justification of shedding Blood – Christ’s Blood for all of us.
Yom Kippur is a time set-apart for “cleansing our temple” and receiving the Forgiveness from the dire consequences of all our sins. Our Jewish brethren understand completely this process of repenting and acknowledging that ONLY God can Forgive sins. Luke 5:21
Holy Spirit of Truth, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in Romans 5:15-18
But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s Gracious Gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful GRACE and His Gift of unconditional Forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ.
And the result of God’s Gracious Gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s FREE GIFT leads to our being made Right with God-His Righteousness, even though we are guilty of many sins.
For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful GRACE and His Gift of Righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of Righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone.
Therefore, I AM the Righteousness of God IN CHRIST!
I have been adopted into the Family of God, through the Atoning Blood of the Covenant between a Righteous and Just person of Jesus Christ and a Holy Deity - God of the Universe!
There is therefore now NO condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Amen and Amen!
