Dear Doc- Here is how you put it: "Scripture is quite clear about a number of specific behaviors and how they relate to how a person stands before our Holy God" I believe Bishop Ryle is talking about something different, but I agree with you... he makes plain sense. Justification is not an ongoing process. When we are justified, it is a final act of saving grace. However, how we might "stand before God" after that (being justified) would be, as I understand it, a matter of our being sanctified (Hebrews 10:14). The new creation continues in a process of being made holy. Even as new creations we are not perfect in our obedience and submission to God. Perfectly justified and saved, but not perfectly holy. This is what I assumed you were infering when you wrote "Scripture is quite clear about a number of specific behaviors and how they relate to how a person stands before our Holy God". If I took your words out of context and/or my paraphrase seemed to imply a different meaning than your intended one, then please accept my sincere apology. God bless, Jeff |

Hi, Brother Jeff... Yes, thank you, that was what I thought I had said. Specific behaviors disclose our standing before God. They do not cause it. No worries, really, Jeff. As doctrine is gifted us textually, our textual expressions either rightly reflect those truths or they reflect something else. We are all counselors, directly, indirectly, tacitly, and implicitly... whether we are aware of it or not. Satan started the bad counsel trend by twisting what God had said. Since then there has been nothing but an ever increasing bedlam of ever deviating advice telling us what to think and what to believe. Our careful and cooperative effort to render words in concert with our Lord's Word is a work of a good steward, demonstrating our love for Him and His Word. In Him, Doc |
