Measuring Righteousness
1 John 2:6
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk,
even as he walked.
and True Faith
God has Voiced in His written Word a staunch behaviour that is expected of Children of God upon the planet. A Godly righteous behaviour that will reflect, represent, and ensure the knowledge of God, His Righteous Good, and His Love will become spread across the planet.
Titus 2:12 does Not voice that individuals are to live Partly sober, righteous and Godly in this present world, even though many choose to do so. Insufficient reflection and representation of God, His Righteous Good, and His Love does Not allow Godliness, Righteousness, and Love to get a stronghold across the planet.
How are we assured that we measure up to God's set standard of Righteousness so not to perish by following or living by our own ideas of righteousness?
How do we know if our righteousness does exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees?
Did God give wayward man no direction, nor tools of Godly Righteousness to follow? Is there any way the wayward can know how to be found worthy and righteousness enough to live in His Righteous Kingdom?
The LORD God did provide the tools of Righteousness to be found worthy for the Kingdom of God, yet man continues to ignore and reject what the LORD God has voiced in the scriptures.
The LORD God's law of Righteousness, the Ten Commandments was,
The very same Spirit that voiced to Abraham, wrote with His Holy Finger on tables of stone, and Physically taught and displayed God's Law of Righteousness, the Ten Commandments Is Jesus Christ!
Should we take our chances in man's ideas of an eternal security, and continually ignore and reject what was voiced in the scriptures?
Shouldn't we seek full assurance?
Jesus Christ does save and cleanse from All unrighteousness. When does All begin and end if we still partake of sin? How do we Keep ourselves in the state of being saved and cleansed from all unrighteousness?
Being saved and cleansed from all unrighteousness does not make a Righteous person if an individual still partakes of sin! One must continually walk in their given salvation and cleansing to become a Righteous person!
Jesus showed the Way to being Righteous, being man's Example of what it takes to become a son of God, being a Son of God Himself. Individuals are to follow after His Righteous Example fully for a successful outcome.
Individuals that seek God's Righteous Kingdom must Not waver with the partaking of sin, nor pick and choose what they follow in Christ.
How do we Keep ourselves in the love of God?
Abraham believed and obeyed the words that the LORD had Voiced to him, and it was accounted to him as righteousness.
Many are taught or tell themselves it's okay to sin a little, because the flesh is weak. These individuals completely ignore that the new creature (man) in Christ does walk in/after the Spirit of Righteousness, not the flesh. God knows they have not crucified the old man of sin, but instead chooses to keep the old man on life support to give them permission to sin. They want their cake and eat it too.
Many professed believers live-by excuses to sin. They claim they don't, but their words and deeds within disobedience speak differently.
They have been taught or have convinced their selves that they cannot be Righteous after Christ, when the LORD came down from Heaven (being Jesus Christ) to teach and Physically show what it takes to become a Son of God, being a Son of God Himself. Man's Physical Example to follow to be Righteous.
Individuals can Not pick and choose what they want to follow in Christ, or they will fail!!!!
Those that take the Lord's forgiveness for granted by seeking His forgiveness for the same sin over and over again, do not have a true faith nor desire to overcome sin. They choose to continue to walk in the filth of sin and its unrighteousness. They do not truly walk in the forgiveness and cleansing of Christ with a Righteous heart, soul, and mind. They walk in their own forgiveness, cleansing, and righteousness.
God hates all sin. Sin is contrary to His Pure, Holy, and Righteous Good nature. Sin ruptures man's relationship with Him, and this does grieve God, because it does corrupt the Spirit and Soul of man so it cannot return to Him, preventing many from becoming Sons of God. If the Spirit and Soul is not strong enough in Righteousness, it can Not return to the Father!
If man sows unrighteousness on this earth, so will he sow unrighteousness in heaven.
God doesn't wave a magic wand to make individuals righteous on earth or in heaven. They must want to be righteous of their own accord.
If individuals cannot overcome sin in their lifetime upon the planet, they will never overcome sin.
God will not allow any sin whatsoever into His Righteous Kingdom. He keeps it contained/chained to the wayward planet.
There are conditions for inheriting the Kingdom of God.
Many professed believers believe they can continue to partake of sin and there will be no punishment. They do not think for one minute that they are condemning themselves. They don't even see themselves as being a sinner when they partake of the same sin that sinners partake of. They believe they are above reproach because they simply believe in Jesus Christ. They believe they don't have to overcome sin that Jesus did it for them. They honestly believe Jesus will keep forgiving their willful sin over and over again, but they are highly deceiving themselves. They believe they are unlike the sinners in the world, yet continually partake of the same sins of a sinner with no fear of God, accountability or a second thought, because they claim to believe in and know Jesus Christ. Sin is sin no matter who is doing it, and sin is never ever righteous, even though many are indirectly taught their sin is righteous because they believe in and know of Christ. But they don't truly Know and Believe in Christ, because they believe the LORD would ask of them to do something that is impossible. Such as, "sin no more", and keep the Father's commandments like He did to abide in his love.
Many are taught and believe they can continue to sin and be guaranteed an eternal existence being a sinner. They have made Faith and Grace a cloak for sin. These individuals profess to believe in Jesus Christ, but they truly don't believe, nor do they truly know Jesus Christ and His written Word , because they choose to reject and ignore how to overcome sin so they can be clothed in the same Righteousness of Christ. These professed individuals are the weak lukewarm in Christ that are not truly born again in righteousness.
They do Not walk in the Righteousness of Christ. They walk in their own justification and excuses for their sin. Sin always has to be justified, Good does Not.
All individuals can overcome the sin in the world, even as Christ has overcome the world, if they truly follow in His footsteps of Righteousness. Be of good cheer, it is possible to do all things in/through Christ, even keep the Ten Commandments as He did.
Time of the Gentiles is coming to a close real soon. Many professing to be in Faith will be at the door saying, Lord Lord I have done all these things, but the door will be shut to them because they have not made sure their calling and election is sure.

Let us not allow our carnal will to be stronger than the Righteous Will of the Father!
We pray many choose to truly serve God and His will of Righteousness this day, and forevermore!

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man . For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Titus 2:12 does Not voice that individuals are to live Partly sober, righteous and Godly in this present world, even though many choose to do so.

How do we know if our righteousness does exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees?
Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Matthew 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Matthew 23:27-28 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

Did God give wayward man no direction, nor tools of Godly Righteousness to follow? Is there any way the wayward can know how to be found worthy and righteousness enough to live in His Righteous Kingdom?

The LORD God did provide the tools of Righteousness to be found worthy for the Kingdom of God, yet man continues to ignore and reject what the LORD God has voiced in the scriptures.
The LORD God's law of Righteousness, the Ten Commandments was,
• First voiced to Abraham regarding His Righteous commandments, laws, and statutes. (Genesis 26:5)
• Then written on tablets of stone with His Holy Finger for His Chosen Nation. (Exodus 34:28, Deuteronomy 9:10-11, Deuteronomy 4:13)
• Then the LORD Personally in Physical Form brought, taught, and displayed His Ten Commandments in a Way physical man can physically sight and relate to, so All the families of earth will know, keep, and abide in God's Law of Righteousness, the Ten Commandments to "sin no more" for Eternal Living Life.
Jesus brought, taught, and Physically displayed God's tools of Good and Righteousness, the Ten Commandments to help man overcome all sin. The Ten Commandments are man's measuring stick of Righteousness to be found worthy of the Kingdom of God.• Then written on tablets of stone with His Holy Finger for His Chosen Nation. (Exodus 34:28, Deuteronomy 9:10-11, Deuteronomy 4:13)
• Then the LORD Personally in Physical Form brought, taught, and displayed His Ten Commandments in a Way physical man can physically sight and relate to, so All the families of earth will know, keep, and abide in God's Law of Righteousness, the Ten Commandments to "sin no more" for Eternal Living Life.
The very same Spirit that voiced to Abraham, wrote with His Holy Finger on tables of stone, and Physically taught and displayed God's Law of Righteousness, the Ten Commandments Is Jesus Christ!

2 Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Nothing can become written upon an individual's heart if not lived and lived by, Not even their Faith!2 Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Should we take our chances in man's ideas of an eternal security, and continually ignore and reject what was voiced in the scriptures?
Shouldn't we seek full assurance?
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Being saved and cleansed from all unrighteousness does not make a Righteous person if an individual still partakes of sin! One must continually walk in their given salvation and cleansing to become a Righteous person!
Jesus showed the Way to being Righteous, being man's Example of what it takes to become a son of God, being a Son of God Himself. Individuals are to follow after His Righteous Example fully for a successful outcome.
Individuals that seek God's Righteous Kingdom must Not waver with the partaking of sin, nor pick and choose what they follow in Christ.
James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

2 Peter 2:20-22 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Many are taught or tell themselves it's okay to sin a little, because the flesh is weak. These individuals completely ignore that the new creature (man) in Christ does walk in/after the Spirit of Righteousness, not the flesh. God knows they have not crucified the old man of sin, but instead chooses to keep the old man on life support to give them permission to sin. They want their cake and eat it too.

Many professed believers live-by excuses to sin. They claim they don't, but their words and deeds within disobedience speak differently.
They have been taught or have convinced their selves that they cannot be Righteous after Christ, when the LORD came down from Heaven (being Jesus Christ) to teach and Physically show what it takes to become a Son of God, being a Son of God Himself. Man's Physical Example to follow to be Righteous.
Individuals can Not pick and choose what they want to follow in Christ, or they will fail!!!!
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
1 Timothy 1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Those that take the Lord's forgiveness for granted by seeking His forgiveness for the same sin over and over again, do not have a true faith nor desire to overcome sin. They choose to continue to walk in the filth of sin and its unrighteousness. They do not truly walk in the forgiveness and cleansing of Christ with a Righteous heart, soul, and mind. They walk in their own forgiveness, cleansing, and righteousness.
Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
There remains no more sacrifice and redemption, if their continued choice is sin over God and His Good. James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
God hates all sin. Sin is contrary to His Pure, Holy, and Righteous Good nature. Sin ruptures man's relationship with Him, and this does grieve God, because it does corrupt the Spirit and Soul of man so it cannot return to Him, preventing many from becoming Sons of God. If the Spirit and Soul is not strong enough in Righteousness, it can Not return to the Father!
If man sows unrighteousness on this earth, so will he sow unrighteousness in heaven.
God doesn't wave a magic wand to make individuals righteous on earth or in heaven. They must want to be righteous of their own accord.
If individuals cannot overcome sin in their lifetime upon the planet, they will never overcome sin.
God will not allow any sin whatsoever into His Righteous Kingdom. He keeps it contained/chained to the wayward planet.

Many professed believers believe they can continue to partake of sin and there will be no punishment. They do not think for one minute that they are condemning themselves. They don't even see themselves as being a sinner when they partake of the same sin that sinners partake of. They believe they are above reproach because they simply believe in Jesus Christ. They believe they don't have to overcome sin that Jesus did it for them. They honestly believe Jesus will keep forgiving their willful sin over and over again, but they are highly deceiving themselves. They believe they are unlike the sinners in the world, yet continually partake of the same sins of a sinner with no fear of God, accountability or a second thought, because they claim to believe in and know Jesus Christ. Sin is sin no matter who is doing it, and sin is never ever righteous, even though many are indirectly taught their sin is righteous because they believe in and know of Christ. But they don't truly Know and Believe in Christ, because they believe the LORD would ask of them to do something that is impossible. Such as, "sin no more", and keep the Father's commandments like He did to abide in his love.
Romans 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Many are taught and believe they can continue to sin and be guaranteed an eternal existence being a sinner. They have made Faith and Grace a cloak for sin. These individuals profess to believe in Jesus Christ, but they truly don't believe, nor do they truly know Jesus Christ and His written Word , because they choose to reject and ignore how to overcome sin so they can be clothed in the same Righteousness of Christ. These professed individuals are the weak lukewarm in Christ that are not truly born again in righteousness.
They do Not walk in the Righteousness of Christ. They walk in their own justification and excuses for their sin. Sin always has to be justified, Good does Not.
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

2 Peter 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
Let us not allow our carnal will to be stronger than the Righteous Will of the Father!
We pray many choose to truly serve God and His will of Righteousness this day, and forevermore!
