He who was delivered over because of our transgressions and was raised because of our justification. Romans 4:25.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Can a man justify himself before Me? Not in and of himself and his own works, for you are all under the judgment and sentence of Adam until someone could pay with an eternal life in the flesh for the one Adam murdered. And death descended through Adam to all those born of this perishable seed, which is every person on earth. So no descendant of Adam can justify you. But, the good news is you do not have to do so. I have done it for you in Christ. What the weakness of your flesh could not do, I did.
I delivered Jesus over because of your transgressions and raised Him for your justification. Romans 4:25. It is only in Christ you are justified before Me. You die with Him to sin and rise with Him with all sin gone by His eternal blood in newness of life, cleansed by the blood and born again unto righteousness by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit in the birth canal of the Word. It is the blood, water, Spirit.
I have justified you. And this is a very deep work that changes you for what you became in Adam to who you are in Me, back to My image and likeness. I cause all things to work together for good to those who love Me, to those who are called according to My purpose. I know those who are Mine with all their hearts, you whom I foreknew, I preordained you to be a royal priesthood with My Son, to become conformed to His image, for in seeing Him, you are seeing Me, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren. And you whom I preordained with and in Him, I called, and you whom I called, I also justified; and these whom I justified, I also glorified.
You are that important to Me. I never want to let anyone go. I want all of you that I have planned and made with Me forever. All are alive to Me. Do not worry about death, to Me you are alive. I will bring you safely home to Me, when you are in Christ you have nothing to fear.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Romans 8:31-35.
Nothing can separate you from Me other than your free choice to do so. The devil cannot make you do anything you will not do. He was made to serve those who are heirs of salvation and that is still the case. The devil can only take you captive if you will submit to him as Adam and Eve did. But if instead you submit to Me and resist him, he must flee from you.
And now that you are justified and made righteous with My own righteousness, there is no limit on the good you can do. There is nothing holding you back.
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2.
Can a man justify himself before Me? No, but what man could not do, I have done in Christ Jesus. I took your sins and put them on Jesus and delivered Him over to pay your judgment and satisfy your sentence. And how do you know all your sins are gone? By His resurrection from the dead.
“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Now that you have been justified by grace live by faith—faith in My Son who loved you and gave Himself for you.
He offered Himself up, the Righteous one for the unrighteous so that you could have His Righteousness before Me. And His offering was a sacrifice of fragrant aroma before Me, much more fragrant than the burnt offering of Noah.
And He came to bring you life, eternal life, abundant life, the blessed life!
I created you in My image—immortal and strong. But you sinned and rejected My Word. Under justice, you deserved only wrath. Justice requires the death of the sinner. Righteousness requires death of the unrighteous.
My righteousness brought fear to sinful man. Adam hid from Me when he became unrighteous. He was ashamed before Me. But now My righteousness is on your side, for when Jesus, who knew no sin, took all your sin upon Himself and bore the death you deserved, you took His righteousness as your own. And now, when you are in Him, you become My righteousness so that you stand before Me holy and blameless on your part.
By His Blood He freed you from your sins and made you a kingdom, priests before Me. When you are in Him you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for My own possession. I have transferred you out of darkness into My marvelous light.
This is My free gift of grace to you in Jesus. What you could never restore for yourselves, He has restored for you.
That is why Paul so often greeted you in this way: May the love of God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. I so loved the world that I gave you My only Son that through Him you would not perish but have eternal life. The law came to you through Moses with its sentence of death but grace came to you through Jesus Christ with its gift of eternal life. Grace upon grace—abundant, overflowing grace. And now, because of where you stand by My grace, you can receive My Holy Spirit and He is with you all day and all night every day and will remain in you and with you forever. And I communicate and fellowship with you by My Holy Spirit dwelling in your spirit. When you join with Me you become one spirit with Me and we can talk at every moment in intimate fellowship.
In My Son you are cleansed, redeemed and forgiven. He gave you back divine life and put you back in My image. This is not done by your works but by His.
In Jesus every good and perfect gift comes to you. He makes all the difference of whether you are a vessel of wrath or a vessel of grace. He makes all the difference of whether you are righteous or unrighteous before Me. It is only in Him that you find salvation. I have given no other name to men by which you can be saved. And His Name means “Salvation.” The angel told Joseph to name My Son “Jesus” because He would save you from your sins.
And He has. His work is finished. It is for liberty that Christ freed you. Do not put yourself under a yoke of bondage and shame. Come to Me and I will make your sins white as snow and put them as far from you as the east is from the west. For if you confess your sins, I am faithful and true to forgive your sins and cleanse you of all unrighteousness by the Blood of My Son. And your sins and offenses I remember no more.
And once you are in Christ, you are My child and you are My heir with Him. And everything I have is rightfully yours. You do not need to beg Me to heal you or prosper you. It is yours by right if you are in Him for then you are My heir and a citizen of My Kingdom and all the rights and privileges of My Kingdom are rightfully yours. That is why I tell you that when you pray for something you should believe it is yours and you shall receive it. Take by faith all the good you need when you need it for My Son has already obtained it for you. He took your place so you could have His and so that you could enjoy all that is His. And everything was made through Him and for Him.
May I ask you a question? Do you think that you have to earn a salary and work a job for a living in Heaven or do you believe that in Heaven all your needs are supplied?
Most people would not even hesitate to answer that all your needs are taken care of in Heaven in abundance and beauty and that nothing is lacking. And if you answered this you have answered correctly.
And how are you taken care of and supplied for in Heaven? By Me, your Almighty, ever living, ever loving, ever merciful, gracious, and compassionate God, in accordance with My riches in glory.
Know that the same is true for you now. I tell you that if you seek My Kingdom and My righteousness first that everything else will be added to you besides. I withhold no good thing from those who seek Me. I supply all your needs according to My riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Notice that I tell you to not only seek My Kingdom but also to seek My righteousness. And you know that there is only one way to have My righteousness as your own and that is by receiving My Son Jesus as your Lord and believing in your heart that I raised Him from the dead. I raised Him up after He became sin by taking all your sins on Himself. My wrath was poured on Him and thereby justice was satisfied for you and then in Him I raised you up and seated you with Him in heavenly places.
I am the God who loves you with all My heart and soul. I am the God who created you and wants you to be My own. I am the God who wants you with Me and never wants to let you go. I am the same yesterday, today and forever and My everlasting love for you will never change. I will go to any lengths to save you.
I AM.
And all this comes to you through grace and grace comes to you through Jesus. Grace means He changed places with you so that He could take your death and give you His divine life. And My life in you is grace. In Jesus, My divine power has granted to you My precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of My divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust through the grace I have poured into your hearts through Christ.
In My great mercy I have given you new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. That is My desire for all mankind. The Gospel of Grace is the Good News!
My goal has been and always will be complete union (communion) with you. I have always desired to dwell with you and be your God. You cannot be as close with anyone as you are with Me, for by My Spirit I can live in you and you in Me. Christ in you, your hope of glory.
I love you. You are My beloved. Do not put any limits on what I can and will do in your life. My grace in you can do exceedingly, abundantly more than you can ask or imagine. Dare to think and dream B.I.G. (“Beautiful in God”). Love has no limits, it towers above the heavens and is higher than the skies.
