Live the justice, not the law:


  • “For if the blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God) purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Heb 9:13-14).

Our conscience ought to get rid of the dead works, that is to say, the works of the law:

  • “because by the works of the Law none of all flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law is the knowledge of sin.” (Rom 3:20).

The law is contrary to the people (Col 2:14) inasmuch as the law serves to put in evidence the faults of everybody. Without the law there is no sin (Rom 7:8), that is to say, there is no foundation to someone condemn us and vice-versa (2Co 3:6,7,9).

In addition, the righteousness of the Creator has been revealed apart from law (Rom 3:21):

  • “whereas God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and putting the word of reconciliation in us. Then we are ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as God exhorting through us, we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” (2Co 5:19,20).

He reveals His justice through His love, that is to say, imparting His life (His Spirit) so that we can live a life of rectitude. It isn’t a question of obeying during a period of time, but ever. It isn’t to do good for who deserves it or leave of doing evil against the innocents. We need to stop of serving our sense of justice based on dead (robotic) laws and serve to the living God reconcile people with Him and with us.

The true justice isn’t our effort to be what we aren’t, but the work of the Holy Spirit who wishes show who He is and can be in those who deliver themselves to Him (1John 3:20; 4:4).

So, have a good week don’t disturbing the Holy Spirit of being righteous through you (Eph 4:30).
