Subject: What the Lord God has done justifies |
Bible Note: What the Lord God has done justifies His people, not what they have done. It would be unrighteous to let mankind justify himself, for his own reasons and reasoning. And those who perpetrate with reasons and reasoning to justify themselves, pretend to be justified by their own abilities to reason, hence liars. God isn’t known by reason, reasons and reasoning. He is known by His Grace through Faith, that is in the Lord Jesus Christ. Theists, deists and atheists justify not knowing God all the day long, but justification to be in the Presence of God all eternity long, is of God, in our Lord Jesus Christ. Lk:10:29, Lk:16:15, Gal:3:8, Rom:3:30 Rom:8:33 |
