Set Up To Fall 9/08/2024
Daily Devotions: by Christina FarrisRomans 3:22-26 KJV
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.From the day of birth into the world we were set up to fail. Our humanity alone no matter our innocents we set up to fall. Only through Christ sacrifice and blood covering can save us if we only believe through faith not of our own works. Part of Jewish tradition if a gift is given that is not krosher it must be made krosher symbolizing they had something to do with the creation of it. By baptizing it they make the none Jewish item Jewish, in otherwise they purify it.
A woman no longer living I meet at the flea market who husband knew my husband gave me knick knacks from her collection and they were dusty. She wanted to pay me in someway for me driving her somewhere. She had a gentle spirit about her and her life had been hard. I took her where she need to go which was the mission. She stop there and returned with a bag of food. She insisted I keep her trinkets. When I got home I washed the items in the sink and placed then on the shelf. She and her husband worked all their life, she just needed friendship abd someone to care. She call and talk about how she loved Jesus. Her trinkets still sit on my shelf a reminder of her and our link being faith in Jesus.
When a gift is washed it doesnt mean filth it a type of purifying to say it part of you as well or link to another, though some cases cleanliness maybe issue too. God links through the blood covering of his Son. We become part of his family by him giving up his glory to be one with us. Yet one day we enter his glory/ holiness of his home to find a place bring created called Beulah Land that will descends with his Son.
Some are going to want scripture and I going to tell you keep reading your Bible. The fact we are set to fail gives us evidence of our inequality with God and his Son. When we are purified and justified through salvation we become not equal but part of his family as sons and daughters of God.
To receive our salvation we must confess we ourselves fall short of being holy like God despite any human perfection we may have. Our holiness comes by what God does through his Son, our only part is faith and hope in him and his son.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you of a reminder of our imperfection and desire for us to be a part of the New Kingdom. In Jesus precious name, Amen. Continual Scripture Study: 1 John 1:5-10 KJV
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. http://www.turtle30cshell.com
