Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
God alone justifies.
God alone has that right, that power to judge rightly without any of our sinful traits coloring His judgment.
God alone can condemn, yet you'll find Satan and those who are his constantly seeking to condemn us. Constantly Satan will bring to our recall our awful past acts. He'll tempt us with sins that EASILY beset us. Satan will do AL L in his power to get us to condemn ourselves because that condemnation leads us to hopelessness and hopelessness leads us far, far away from salvation. Hopelessness refuses to believe that there is any hope at all- even a hope outside ourselves. Hopelessness takes away salvation by it's very nature. Our hope must be in our Savior who will JUSTIFY us by HIS OWN BLOOD. Our Savior has TAKEN our rightful place in death everlasting. He's taken that place and by the victory of His sinlessness He was RAISED to new LIFE. Our Savior truly DIED for US, for YOU, for ME, for us ALL. This isn't some flippant fact, this is the most amazing, most wondrous, most astounding fact. We can't talk of Jesus' death without realizing the DEPTHS of that sacrifice to the best of our ability to comprehend. Our HOPE is in Christ Jesus and we will be justified only by HIS intervention in our lives.
Jesus makes INTERCESSION for US!
Without His interceding we would have NO hope, we'd be unjustified, we'd be condemned and rightly so.
Those who become God's elect are those who believe in the hope of our SAVIOR, in the love of our GOD.
Remember this…
Luk 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luk 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
Luk 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Luk 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
THIS DO- and thou shalt live.
Jesus did not say to forget about all that stuff and just believe in Him. Jesus reaffirmed the truth of the moral law- Loving GOD and loving each other.
Those who LOVE GOD with all their heart- will love others as God would have them be loved; those who love others as they would like to be loved themselves in the pureness of truth and no deceit, no guile whatsoever, these will all LIVE.
God's elect cannot be condemned by anyone because they are covered under the blood of Christ, by the intercession of a Savior.
Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Our Savior alone has the right to condemn and He will do so with a heart grieving.
Mat 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Mat 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
The lost that our Savior can save will be amazing, but there will be many that will not be saved and solely by their choice.
Mat 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Truth.
There will be children of the wicked one and these will consist of all those who choose NOT to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
It sounds harsh, because it is harsh. It is TRUTH and people want lollipops and gumdrops, things that please them rather than truth that convicts them of their own sinfulness.
There will be those that are condemned and it will be a JUST condemnation, a DESERVED condemnation beyond any doubt at all whatsoever.
By the grace of our LORD alone will we be among those who are righteous in CHRIST'S righteousness.
