The inner witness says you're righteous

Many times when we commit a sin, we feel God must be bitter at us, feel The Holy Ghost is angry too. Oh! God is bitter at sin, true! God and sin are enemies, true! But God will have to first reckon on Jesus' appeasing sacrifice and never will the wrath get to you.

Good works for men, not God

Grace is all about resting in the finished works of Christ and producing good works.
A gracious life is a life of fruitfulness (Phil 1:11)

what does it mean? I will have mercy and not sacrifice


But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Mat 9:13 KJV
Jesus gave an instruction here, we ought to pay attention to it. He gave us an assignment which many have never attempted to do, resulting in some strange behaviours we see in church today. We have not learnt what it means when He said "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice..." and just as it caused some mixed reactions towards Jesus, and consequently unbelief, and consequently damnation on the said people, it is still causing issues amongst church people today.

Your sins cannot keep God off you

your sins will not keep God off you
Isa 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
(KJV)
many times when we ought to approach God in faith, the devil reminds us that we are "sinful" and even without any rejection from God yet, we pass the verdict: "I can't be a guest to such a holy God, no, I'm not worthy. of all people, I the greatest of all sinners, a fornicator, etc; so we call ourselves names the Lord has not called us. in fact some of us think it's by doing that we give God pride and God sees how humble we are. hmm!

All by simple faith

I share with you from *[[2Co 5:7]] KJV*
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
The Christian life is a walk of faith from start to end is FAITH
I wonder why people try to doubt if God can ever ACCEPT them

Righteousness in simple terms

Righteousness...Psalm 14:3, 53:3, Rom 3:10 all say 
there is none righteous. Not one.
Rom 3:23 says all have sinned and come short of
the glory of God.
Isaiah 64:6 also says, ...all our righteousness are as
filthy rags.
What does all these mean?
It all started in the beginning. God said in Gen 1:26-
Let us make man in our own image and after our
likeness. This is God speaking to himself declaring
his intention to make man.
Gen 1:27- God created man in his image and
likeness. If God created man like this, then man can
stand before God without feeling guilty or inferior.
This is righteousness.

The Foundation of the righteous is not destroyed

Many times we read that verse to mean hopelessness
We read that verse to mean nothing can be done again
We read that verse to mean despair
But actually do you know that's not what the writer intended to paint?
Hmm 😀
