This is the first of three. "Redeemed by understanding GRACE."
Then ==THE LAW
Then PERFECTION
Redeemed By Understanding Grace
Redeemed is being brought back. God wants to redeem His creations. Bring them back to perfection , the way He created them. Through His grace He is going to do it.
The one thing that made His creation of beings different from His other creations is He gave them the freedom of choice. When sin appeared Lucifer choose to envy and not just admire. When Eve sinned she chose to believe the devil’s lie instead of trusting her creator. Now, could God have eliminated/eradicated sin at either of these points? Yes, but He would have to have taken away that freedom of choice. He would not do that because it would not be His character to do this. So, in His grace God sent his son to show us the way.
In grace Jesus did three things for us; One = He (100% man and 100% God)showed us that man could live a sinless life. Two= He took away the inevitable result of sin. On the cross Christ died the second death for us. Three = Jesus did the most important part of His mission, in His Grace he gave us His Spirit. That Spirit ( the most powerful thing in the universe ) enables us to do what God didn’t do, eradicate sin. Through the power of the Holy Spirit we can overcome sin. By emptying self and letting the Holy Spirit fill us, we can make right choices.
Only the Character we have developed here on earth will accompany us to heaven. With the Leading of the Holy Spirit we can develop a character that will make the right choices even in heaven. Inspiration says that it is the will of the saints that keeps sin out of heaven. We can have a character better than Lucifer or Eve.
Inspiration says that before Christ comes again there will be a people that perfectly represent the character of God. They don’t know it and are constantly looking to rid themselves of any impurity.
Let us all accept the responsibility of being part of the family of God in Spirit and in Truth.
