ljw9292 I'm sorry I preceived something you say is not true. However many in the world today blame the jews for Jesus' death and resent God's desire to fulfill the first covenant with them. That said let me also say you do have a place in in kingdom of God. That place was bought and paid for with the blood of Jesus. If you call Jesus Lord and Savior then you can be assured your eternity is set. EdB |

I don't blame the Jews for Jesus' death. I know that no one could have taken His life until it was time for him to die. His purpose for becoming God incarnate was to shed His blood to save us. I do not resent God's desire to fulfill the covenant with them, it shows He is the same yesterday, today and forever, and His love is true. That being the case I rest assured I am indeed a child of the King. Still believing I am as filthy rags when I come to Him, no matter how good I believe I might be. Thanks for your input, it has been interesting to see how others believe and think. | ||||||

ljw9292 Wait one minute we are not filthy rags. We are joint heirs with Jesus. Romans 8:17 and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. The filthy rags is our righteousness (Isaiah 64:6 ... And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;...), but we don't go before the Lord in our rigtheousness we go before him in the righteousness imputed to us by Jesus Christ. The word says in 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. And we become a 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; Be bold! Be joyful, for you are a chosen son of the Lord God. EdB |

If I may interject here. I read both your's and ljw9292's note above and I think I have to agree with both of you. Let me explain. When it comes to our own valuation of our life and our actions, we all tend to feel like the woman in Matt 15:22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed." 23But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us." 24But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." 25Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" 26But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." 27And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." 28Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour. But when we realize that we have Christ as our advocate with our Father, we read in Eph 3:1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles-- 2if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, 3how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: 6that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, 7of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power. So it all boils down to a matter of attitude and complete submission of our will to His Will. We see this further contrasted in Romans 7:13-25. On one hand we feel like worthless "filthy rags" but thanks be to God, we don't have to keep on thinking that way. We can look up to Heaven, place our hand in our Father's and KNOW for a concrete fact He's got a Home waiting for us forever. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |

Agreed while yet in sin we come humbly before the Lord seeking forgiveness due to our sinful state and unworthiness. But once we are in Christ we are no longer lost sinners but rather adopted sons and daughters. However we should never forget God is God and due all respect, honor and glory. The point then is that we don't think ourselves so unworthy but now realizing how very much more God is worthy we are humbled. In other words we are humbled and awed by the magnificence and glory of God. Yes and if compared to Him we would appear as filthy rags. EdB EdB |
