And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are you still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.
And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk you in him:...For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
O Lord, you have searched me, and known me. You know my downsitting and mine uprising, you understand my thought afar off. You compass my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, Look, O Lord, you know it altogether.
Why say you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? Have you not known? Have you not heard, that the Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding. He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength.
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.
Judges 18:9;Gen. 1:31;Gen. 2:1-2;John 19:30;Col. 2:6&9-10;Psa. 139:1-4;Isa. 40:27-29;Rom. 6:1-4;Rom. 8:11
Running after and trying to be good, fighting the air is not making you good but receiving Christ Jesus will make you good in the sight of the Lord. Looking good, and trying to be good or being good is three different things. All your righteousness was like filthy rags to God, but God's witness is that he made you very good through his Son Jesus Christ. God made you very good only in Christ. The witness of God is greater than man's witness. If your heart (your conscience) condemns you, God is greater than your heart (your conscience) and He knows all things. This is a rest for the people of God. Amen.
If I say this over and over again, I must say it over and over again, "Have peace with God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
