Hbr 10:22 God wants us to come near Him with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience. We are NOT to have an evil conscience for our sins because Jesus paid our penalty but we are to instead come boldly into Gods presence. Eph 1:7 In Jesus we have redemption through His blood, which means we have the forgiveness of sins, this is a free gift called grace, grace means God giving us forgiveness that we didn’t earn by good behavior, or right living but just by believing. Eph 2:5 When we were dead because of sin He made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and NOT of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God. If we are always looking at ourselves and trying to follow rules we become SELF-conscience and not God-conscience. 2Ti 1:9 God saved us not according to our works, but according to grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus, Tts 3:7 that having been justified by His grace we would become heirs of the world. So that we could receive all that Jesus paid for us to have God gave us forgiveness through Jesus that way none of us could boast or mess it up.
1Pe 1:10 This salvation by grace, and not works, or following the law or right behavior the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, and prophesied about it in the old covenant. 1Pe 1:13 Be careful how you think, and rest your hope fully on grace, that is revealed as you are taught about Jesus Christ. Act 20:32 for the word of His grace, is able to build you up Hbr 12:15 But when we fail to accept that grace of God, we could get a root of bitterness. So make sure you are resting on grace and not your own works. Your own works will always fail and open the door for the devil to try to accuse you of breaking rules and when you feel guilty you will not walk in boldness or power. Gal 5:4 You have distanced yourself from Christ, When you attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. Grace is higher than the law. When you try to be saved by following the law (none can do this completely) you are no longer under grace but the law. Hbr 13:9 It is good that the heart be established by grace, and not self-effort of following rules. Gal 2:21 Don’t set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [comes] through the law, then Christ died in vain.” There was NO reason for Jesus to die if you could get to heaven on your own by paying for your sins! Considering the events happening in the world today here is some good news. Hbr 12:28 Since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God. When we walk in grace we can serve God because we will walk in power,
2,000 years ago before you were ever born, before you ever committed one sin, before you ever were guilty of breaking any of the 10 commandments Jesus died for you, and paid the penalty of all your lifetime of sins. God saw your future and planed this before you were born, He saw all the sins you would ever commit and send Jesus to pay the price before you ever committed any of them! Is 53:1- Surely he hath borne our GRIEF’S, (sickness, disease, affliction, sadness, evil, calamity) and carried our SORROWS, (Do not sorrow, for the JOY of the LORD is your strength) (physical and mental pain, grief, sorrow) yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he [was] wounded for our TRANSGRESSIONS, (sin, rebellion, guilt punishment for transgression, offering,) [he was] bruised for our INIQUITIES ( guilt, condition, consequence of or punishment of sin) the chastisement of our PEACE (Jhn 16:33 in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”) (Completeness, safety, soundness in body, welfare, health, prosperity, peace, whole, entire, contentment, friendship, covenant relationship) [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are HEALED, ( made healthful.)
