For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

2 Corinthians 5:21

===

We are sinful, but we can become righteous.

Because …

Christ was righteous, but he was made to be sin.

Justice and Mercy meet at the cross.

By Becki Warnock

“…whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Matthew 20:26-28

===

The command here is a hard one:
Serve others.
Be a slave to others.

But our inspiration to do live this hard way of life comes from the fact that we are following Jesus in this – he did it for us.

Even at the cost of his life.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

so that
We could hear
so that
We could have faith.

Listen and look at what Christ has done for you.

By Jeff Warren

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

1 Peter 2:9-10

===

Here is what we are
A chosen race
A royal priesthood
A holy nation
A people for his own Possession
God’s people
Called into God’s marvelous light

So proclaim his excellencies.

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

John 5:39-40

===

Jesus is in the old testament.
He is the way to eternal life. And he was the way for centuries before he was born.

Come to Him. Search the scriptures and find Him.

By Jeff Warren

• 
  Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.
  
  Romans 5:18-19

===

Holy mathematics – One to many::

One trespass –> All men get condemnation
One act of righteousness –> All men get justification and life
One man’s disobedience –> Many made sinners
One man’s obedience –> Many made righteous

Thank God for His justice and mercy.

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 10:31

===

So basic – so clear – so helpful.

Can you do it to the glory of God?

No: Then don’t do it.
Yes: Then make sure you do it that way.

By Scott Jamison

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21

===

Where is your treasure? Where is your heart?

They are pointed towards the same place.

In what ways are you focused on the eternal, the holy, and the incorruptible?
In what ways are you focused on the temporary and the breakable?

Lay up for yourself Treasures In Heaven.

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:30

===

It must be pointed out that here is a place where a human of a certain type (not God!) is to be praised. So we should take note – who should be praised.

Not a charming person, not a beautiful person, but a woman who fears the LORD.

Praise her, because she praises God.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.

Psalm 32:8-9

===

What is going to take to curb you?
You don’t want to be as mindless and undisciplined as a wild animal, like a horse.

You want to be the wise sort that sees the wisdom of obeying God and having the discipline to follow his way.

And then he won’t have to pull you in with training tools.
