WE ARE LIVING IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2021. Yes, the year of our Lord, for it is God who has created all things.

Selah.

And our good God has confirmed to mankind the goodness of His love. And His love is holy, holy, holy.

 

 

Isaiah 6:1-3
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.  And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

 

 

Revelation 4:8
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:

“‘Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty,’

who was, and is, and is to come.”

 

 

And because God is holy, holy, holy: He is good. And because God is good He is just. All men are treated fairly. God is not a respecter of persons…

 

 

Romans 2:7-13
To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.  But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism. All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.

 

 

It is truly a blessing for people to study God and show themselves approved…  A hunger and thirst for righteousness in an individual must be satisfied in this hunt for truth. The ways of God will lead that man to eternal life if he doesn’t quit, doesn’t get discourage and does not take false counsel.

Selah.

When one is settled that The Bible is the only holy book which is God-breathed, a tremendously fascinating and energizing journey has begun! And as a person yearns to grow, peace and confidence in his beliefs will bring blessing upon blessing. The God-kind of life will be found!

 

 

Matthew 7:7-8
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

 

 

As you read and glean from The Holy Scriptures (God-breathed / not man-invented) you come to learn all men are truly created equal. God is no respecter of persons. He created both sexes. He created all of our beautiful colours of skin. God loves variety and created different colours and shapes of eyes; different textures of hair. Different heights. Different personalities. My, oh my, God is good! God is great!

 

Adam was created in perfection. As so many of us know, Adam wasn’t satisfied (as many of us still are not) and he willingly and deliberately issued in The Fall of Man. As a result, all men have sinned and literally earned the way to Hell… a very real place, in the center of the Earth.

 

 

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

 

Each and every person who has the capacity to discern good and evil and is one hundred percent accountable to God.

Selah.

Let’s talk about that total equality again… Adam ushered in original sin from every person born after he and Eve were created. Now all have sinned, fallen short of God’s standard: perfection. We have all missed the mark and sinned. Don’t you dare deny it! Humble yourself and repent and cry out to Jesus!

 

 

Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

 

 

All have sinned, all have sinned. All have sinned save One: Jesus became sin. The Bible clearly tells us He took the sins of the world and those who call on Him to be their Lord and their Savior, their only Savior shall be saved. Saved: they shall be forgiven of sin, they shall be healed. They shall have the joy of the Lord as they believe Him…

 

Selah.

 

 

Romans 3:22-26
This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

 

 

Talk about equality! All men of all time have sinned. All men will be judged: for the saint it will be at The Judgement Seat of Christ. For the sinner it will at The Great White Throne Judgement. Heaven or Hell. God or the devil. All men must choose their leader! Talk about equality!

Selah.

God is fair! God is just!

To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.  But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism. All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.

Romans 10:9-13
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.  As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,  for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

2 Corinthians 5:21
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

 

Romans 10:13
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

 

Philippians 2:9-11
For this reason also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

 

2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
