Worship call 0801 the Judge

Romans 5:17-19 For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.

Are you righteous?

If you are truly a believer in the Lord, then you received His gift of righteousness! Righteousness is a gift we receive when we come to saving faith. Righteousness is not something we earn, but rather it's a gift to be received from our Messiah! According to this passage, you have received the gift of righteousness through Him. Not because we have kept the "law" or lived a holy life. It can't be bought with money, or earned through self-effort, or by doing "religious" works. It's a gift!And in His free gift of righteousness, we have right standing with God! When you walk in His righteousness, then you can approach His throne boldly – expecting the Lord to answer! The devil would love to bring up your sins and keep you bound thinking you can't come to the Lord, however the Scripture is clear, "if weconfess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS!" [1 John 1:9]

Friends, don't let the enemy bind you in sin – but claim fresh and anew today His gift of righteousness, approach His throne with boldness, and expect the Lord to answer – because you are walking in His gift of righteousness!

And this is another fine day in the Lord

John 5:17 (ESV) — 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

God is at work for over the past going on 6 thousand years Millennium 1 Millennium 2 Millennium 3, 4, 5 up to six to bring order once again out of the chaos that is formed by the rebellion, three rebellions actually

The fall of man

The Angelic conflict viewed in Genesis 6 the first 4 verses

The Tower of Babel.

All three are the beginning of rebellions which has historical implications up to this very day.

Millennium 6 the sun of man to once again rule over the earth subduing it and forming it to the will of heaven. and then there will be the 7th millennium where there will be rest.

So we have a God that works.

Jesus is God the son of God He works.

And we who are in Christ we work.

All to the glory of God.

John 5:18–19 (ESV) — 18 This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. 19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.

Can’t help but to view a Father who is a craftsman who is diligently working while his young son who is close by watches his Father and wants to be like him goes about even at an young age begins to immate the movements his Father giving him tools and showing him how to use the them until the son grows and as his Father works in the shop so does his son work in the shop. Father and son side by Side.

And as we mature in the faith in Christ we too stand side by side with the Father doing the business of the Father.

John 5:20 (ESV) — 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.

Hebrews 1:3 (ESV) — 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

The second member of the Godhead is the manifestation of God. It is through the son that the work is being accomplished. The Glory of the Father is being revealed.

John 14:12 (ESV) — 12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

The believe is the word faith. That is what some of my friends and family calls “Faithing”

It is a continual process of being faithful. That is you know the direction that is set before you, you have spiritual priorities down, your life is be sanctified by the work of the spirit within you and the washing of his word and from that comes the fruit of the spirit. God is working through you as worked through Noah whose faith built that incredible ark. Abraham to become a father of a nation, Moses who lead the people out of bondage, David who killed a giant, Jesus that conquered death, Greater things you will do also when your life is a life of faith.

Jesus is true humanity, he demonstrates for us how we are to walk in faith that we too who are in him can do the Father’s will.

No, your not too old and if you are out in the pasture, you have no one to blame but yourself.

If your confined to your four walls thinking that the best life is behind you, remember that was not the attitude of CAleg who in his eighties was still serving strong or Anna in the temple.

Are you a man or a woman of faith. Are you faithful to God. Then I would say get out and go to that local church! Maybe that church is not up to par spiritually in what you are looking for in a church. Remember where two or more are gathered, then take your spiritual life Caleb, Take your dedicated prayer life Anna, and serve the Lord if in any other way sitting quietly in the pew and lifting your prayers up to heaven like a pleasing aroma for the pastor and the people of that church.

The Father works

The Son works

There is not retire program for the faithful… so you are to work as well.

Allow your faith to do the greater things greater work for the Lord.

John 5:21 (ESV) — 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.

I not only see this as eternal life but life that is raised up out from the tombs of vanity of those who life a life of dead works.

What was my life prior to life to coming to the Lord. Before my new spiritual birth. I was dead in my sins and trespasses. Regardless of being rich or poor famed or living a quiet life, I was dead.

Christ gave me life eternal. I was chosen by him, elected, predestined and adopted all by God’s grace.

And when God’s word began to take hold of me than life begin to emerge from me. And with growth through the scripture, I began to take on the image of Christ. No not that I have obtained it yet but certainly have before and now pictures of my life and I am excited for the Lord is not done with me yet or you!

I’m telling you. God is not done with you! if you woke this morning and the spirit is in you then allow the spirit to continue the good work in you!

Part my work and yours is prayer. I will pray for you. God will make room for your gift! And that living water will be evident in your life.

John 5:22 (ESV) — 22 For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

IN revelation there were the seals that could not be opened in order to open the books. John wept because in those books was the justice of God that would bring the final judgment against the wicked. But who was it that would be qualified to break the seals?

The Lamb of God who was is and will always be the Lord Jesus Christ.

Those that beat Jesus to a pulp. They were beating the very one who they will one day stand before.

Those that nailed Jesus to the cross, will be the very judge that they will have to stand before.

Those that mocked jesus at the cross and those who mock him to this very day will be the Judge that they will have to stand before.

And those who persecute the church persecutes that which belongs to the one whom they will have to stand before.

There are two judgements there is the great white throne Judgment

Revelation 20:11–15 (ESV) — 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Who is it that will sit on that throne?

Yes,

It is He, the Lord Jesus Christ

And there is another throne

The Bema the Judgement seat of Christ where each one of us believers in the Lord Jesus Christ will have to stand before Him to give and account for what we have done in the body.

2 Corinthians 5:10 (ESV) — 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

Matt 16:27; Acts 10:42; Rom 2:16; 14:10, 12; Eph 6:8

Who is the Judge on that one?

1 Thessalonians 4:1–6 (ESV) — 1 Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.

One day I will have to stand before the Lord.

Not to give a high five to and approach that throne as many do in their lives carelessly with little regard. No, I will have to stand to receive my evaluation from the judge of my life for I am his.
