[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? I hope you're having a great day today, and I hope you are excited today, because today is the day that the Lord hath made. We'll be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful. Be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise him and thank him. And be joyful.
[00:00:27] Be joyous. I. Be blessed. Be happy. I.
[00:00:32] Yeah, I woke. I could not get out of bed today. I don't like when that happens, but I was reading this morning in Galatians. I'm going to try to get through as much as I can of this. If you go to Galatians, chapter 16, verse 1, it says, knowing that a man is not set forth as righteous or justified out from works of law or of the divine law, except by the faith of Jesus Christ.
[00:00:54] Even we also believed in Jesus Christ that we might be justified through the faith of Christ and not by works of law.
[00:01:03] For the through works of law shall no flesh, or not all flesh shall be justified.
[00:01:10] You are not justified or set forth as righteous, set upright in God's eyes unless you believe in the name of Jesus Christ. Now, there will be a judgment and all that stuff, but you got to know who you are. I was reading over the weekend. It talked about atonement. And atonement is restoration to favor. And if you go back into the Levitical, in the Leviticus and it talks about the law, and God would have them do certain things and then he would atone them, he would restore them to favor by them sacrificing, let's say, you know, doing like a sin offering or like a guilt offering or all these different things. But God always made a way to. To restore the person to favor.
[00:01:54] Only Christ died in order that you remain in that favor. You don't. You don't go in and out of favor with God. You are always righteous before God. Always. Now, I mean, you can do wrong, which is what this is going to talk about, verse 17. But if while we seek to be justified or set forth as righteous through Christ or remaining within Christ, we ourselves are found sinners. Is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid things are going to happen where you do stuff wrong. And then therefore is. Is Christ the minister of sin because we're justified by him? No.
[00:02:28] No, we were redeemed because Christ died for us in order that we could be righteous. But things are going to happen.
[00:02:35] Things are going to happen essentially, still walk uprightly, set your course of life uprightly, because there is a benefit to this walk. And you also don't want to kind of slap God in the face. However, it doesn't change anything. You are righteous always in God's eyes.
[00:02:53] Verse 18. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For passing through the law, I died to the law that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live, yet no longer I. But Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh. I. I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not reject the grace of God. For if righteousness came by law or through law, then Christ died in vain.
[00:03:29] If you believe that the laws, I mean, it doesn't. I guess what you believe doesn't matter in the sense of like you got to read the Word and wrap your mind around the Word. If you've been taught that it's. Everything is by law and you have to walk in law. It is not biblical.
[00:03:44] It's not biblical. The moment. Once you believe the moment and once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, Romans 10, 9 and 10, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart, that God shall raise him, that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved, justified, and set forth as righteous, you're justified immediately. And you gotta always remember that, you know, there's the right and the wrong. And yes, God sets the day side by side in order that we find passage nothing past him and bad things happen, you know, but once you start to recognize that all things work together for good to those that love God, to those that are called or summoned according to his purpose, you are called, set forth as righteous before the foundations of the world. And you got to remember that.
[00:04:29] You got to remember that God loves you and he always set a way to restore you to favor only with Christ. He did it in a huge way, which is why it talks about grace. If you jump down to six, and this is super important too. I mean, God gave Abraham the blessing, it was to him and to his seed, he would be a God. But listen to this. Verse 6. Even as Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness, it wasn't that God just picked Abraham. It was that God or that Abraham believed God, believed, had a firm reliance, trusted in God, that he was his God. And as a result, look at the unbelievable things that happen through his loins. Was Christ the Messiah who died for each and every one of us?
[00:05:19] You just got to remember who you are and think about the things that actually matter. If you're doing wrong, stop it. Godly grief worketh a change in your moral position. Like, you know you're going to want to change because you know that. You know that, you know that you shouldn't be doing it. But it doesn't make you bet. You don't have to feel guilty in the sense of like, God's gonna punish you. That's not our God. It's not our God. And don't, you know, just read and remember, man. Read it and remember. I hope you have a great day, a blessed day. Pray the big prayers lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, you always pray to God, never to Jesus Christ. It's not biblical. You gotta pray to God. Lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family.
[00:06:00] Talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:11] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much just for everything you do for us and how you do it. I thank you for a great day and just a blessed day. I thank you for the things that are going on, that it's the right direction, that you continually move me in the right direction and move the family, move the businesses. And I'm just grateful for the moments of my life. I pray for my shoulder that you get it back to 100% because it's making me crazy. And, yeah, I just thank you for what you've done for me. And I pray that you also kind of open up the word to me and get me going back on that. Even though there's so much stuff going on that I continually stay focused on what matters. And I lift everything up to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
