The Holy Love of God in and through Christ

We are called the live holy lives unto our Lord.  He desires us to be holy as He is holy.  We ought to repent of our sins throughout the day to our Lord Jesus.  We ought not to leave repentance to a dying hour but we ought to know that all our sins are already forgiven in past, present and future occasions of sin.  We ought to turn to the Lord in faithful repentance.  He accepts our prayers of repentance.  He is plenteous in loving-kindnesses and tender mercies.  He never gives up on us and He never leaves us.  There is nothing in all creation that can separate us from the love of our Triune Lord.  He has us in His Triune grip.  We cannot even dare to escape of His hands: He is faithful and true and will finish His work that He started in us.  We are secure and always in His protected hand of mercy, grace and love.  He lived a perfect life for us.  We are to believe that Christ died and rose for us.  We are accepted by Jesus Christ because of God’s unfailing love.  We are indeed written in His unchanging book of life.  That is, our names are written in heaven.  The intention of the Cross was to save His people to the uttermost from every tribe, tongue, nation and people.  The Cross is applied to our account by the Spirit of God and the Word of God in regeneration; that is, God the Holy Spirit gives us the unified righteousness of Christ alone in His life and death alone by faith alone. Faith is a gift of God and not of ourselves in anyway, but by His sovereign grace alone.  When we stand before the great Judge of all heaven and earth, we plead our trust in His unified grace-willed righteousness imputed to us by faith alone from grace alone based on Scripture alone.  We are not into the plus religion by adding the Virgin Mary to Jesus for merit, but the unified merit of Christ alone is enough for sinners to enter heaven.  Christ is our all in all and no one can take us away from Him.  I want so badly to stand before the King and Judge of all the earth in robes of His white righteousness that He taught me about through my bitter experience of torment and torture by the hands of the enemies of the Cross, and see the smiling faces of great mentors of old!  He showed me that His unified merit is alone enough to stand before Him.  We do not need to add to His merit.  It is complete.  It is enough.  We ought to rejoice with unspeakable clarity of His awesome love for us!  There is one thing the world cannot take away is our first trust in Christ and His unified meritorious work.  All hell may break loose and all friendship die but one foundation is secure: Jesus’ blood and righteousness!  That is, He paid full satisfaction for our sins by taking upon Himself our sin to bring justice to it in Himself.  What an amazing thought!  May glory, honor, praise, thanksgiving and adoration be to Him who lives forever and ever.  Amen.
