THE BLESSING AND THE CURSING

 The Blessings And Cursings

JOSHUA 8:32,34

And He Wrote There Upon The Stones A Copy Of The Law Of Moses, Which He Wrote In The Presence Of The Children Of Israel. 

[34] And Afterward He Read All The Words Of The Law, The Blessings And Cursings, According To All That Is Written In The Book Of The Law.

GALATIANS 3:10 

FOR AS MANY AS ARE OF THE WORKS OF THE LAW ARE UNDER THE CURSE: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, CURSED IS EVERY ONE THAT CONTINUETH NOT IN ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW TO DO THEM.

GENESIS 2:16-17 

AND THE LORD GOD COMMANDED THE MAN, SAYING, OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN THOU MAYEST FREELY EAT: BUT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT: FOR IN THE DAY THAT THOU EATEST THEREOF THOU SHALT SURELY DIE.

Let's break down these Scriptures in GENESIS 2:16-17. Here we see,

THE LAW- A Command Of God,

The Law Of God Always Has Two Parts- The Blessing and The Curse.

THE BLESSING-Of Every Tree Of The Garden Thou Mayest Freely Eat. 

The Curse-But Of The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil, Thou Shalt Not Eat Of It.

The Result Of Breaking The Law Of God-Thou Shalt Surely Die.

Sin-Breaking The Law Of God.

Sinner-A Person That Breaks The Law Of God.

When You Break The Law Of God you have sinned and The Curse is Upon You Until The Sin is Atoned For.

The Blessing, Always Brings Peace With God.

The Curse, Always Brings Sin And Death.

NOW LET US LOOK AT JESUS.

MATTHEW 5:18 

FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.

LUKE 24:44 

AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH I SPAKE UNTO YOU, WHILE I WAS YET WITH YOU, THAT ALL THINGS MUST BE FULFILLED, WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES, AND IN THE PROPHETS, AND IN THE PSALMS, CONCERNING ME.

JESUS FULFILLED EVERY PART OF THE LAW. 

THE BLESSING, AS HE OFFERED HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE TO GOD, AND THE CURSE, HE TOOK OUR SINS UPON HIMSELF AND HE DIED.

THE LAW HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRIST JESUS.

HERE IS WHERE GRACE COMES IN. GRACE IS UNMERITED FAVOR. A PAYMENT OF   SOMEONE ELSE'S DEBT. JESUS KEPT THE WHOLE LAW, NOT JUST PART, FOR US. OUR SALVATION IS BELIEVING THAT CHRIST JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD. WE BELIEVE THAT HE DID SACRIFICE FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD, AND WE BELIEVE THAT HIS SACRIFICE IS FOR US TOO. WHEN YOU KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR, THEN YOU COME UNDER GRACE. BEFORE SALVATION YOU ARE UNDER THE LAW, TO KEEP THE WHOLE LAW YOURSELF. 

WHEN YOU ARE UNDER GRACE THE BLESSING IS UPON YOU BECAUSE OF CHRIST JESUS. AFTER SALVATION YOU ARE NO LONGER A SINNER BECAUSE THE LAW HAS BEEN FULFILLED BY CHRIST, FOR YOU.  AFTER SALVATION THE CURSE DOES NOT APPLY TO US EITHER, BECAUSE CHRIST JESUS WAS CURSED AND HE DIED FOR US. HE TOOK OUR SINS UPON HIMSELF AND PAID FOR THEM. 

GALATIANS 3:13 

CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, BEING MADE A CURSE FOR US: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, CURSED IS EVERY ONE THAT HANGETH ON A TREE:

2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 

FOR HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, WHO KNEW NO SIN; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM.

ROMANS 6:14 

FOR SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: FOR YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE.

ROMANS 7:4-6 

WHEREFORE, MY BRETHREN, YE ALSO ARE BECOME DEAD TO THE LAW BY THE BODY OF CHRIST; THAT YE SHOULD BE MARRIED TO ANOTHER, EVEN TO HIM WHO IS RAISED FROM THE DEAD, THAT WE SHOULD BRING FORTH FRUIT UNTO GOD. FOR WHEN WE WERE IN THE FLESH, THE MOTIONS OF SINS, WHICH WERE BY THE LAW, DID WORK IN OUR MEMBERS TO BRING FORTH FRUIT UNTO DEATH. BUT NOW WE ARE DELIVERED FROM THE LAW, THAT BEING DEAD WHEREIN WE WERE HELD; THAT WE SHOULD SERVE IN NEWNESS OF SPIRIT, AND NOT IN THE OLDNESS OF THE LETTER.

ROMANS 8:9 

BUT YE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.

LIVE IN THE FREEDOM THAT CHRIST JESUS DIED FOR YOU TO HAVE!!!

DO YOU TRULY LOVE?

DO YOU TRULY LOVE? 

I ask about love, in particular, because, when I look around in this world, all I can see is hate. I see hatred from people that are pretending to love. Pretending to care about the people of other races and the Climate change of the Earth, is how they make their hatred justified. If you don't agree with their ideas and beliefs of theirs, they will flat-out hate you. They will say that if people are a certain color, they don't care about people of other races. When I watch the so-called news channels, all they can talk about is how people (because of the color of their skin color) are nothing but prejudiced, fascist, racist people filled with hate. Their words are nothing but inflammatory and are doing nothing but stirring up more hatred. And In This World, Christians Need To Be The Light And The Love That Is So Badly Needed. We Are Not To Join In Their Hatred, We Are To Pray For Them. We Are Called To Be Light And Love. But Be The True Light And The True Love. Be The Light And Love That Will Show Them To Jesus Christ. Share His Perfect Sacrifice, Not More Arguing That Only Stirs Up More Hate. Jesus Said That His Disciples Will Be Known By The Love That We Have One For Another. 

Matthew 5:14-16 

Ye Are The Light Of The World. A City That Is Set On An Hill Cannot Be Hid. Neither Do Men Light A Candle, And Put It Under A Bushel, But On A Candlestick; And It Giveth Light Unto All That Are In The House. Let Your Light So Shine Before Men, That They May See Your Good Works, And Glorify Your Father Which Is In Heaven.

Ephesians 5:8 

For Ye Were Sometimes Darkness, But Now Are Ye Light In The Lord: Walk As Children Of Light:

1 John 4:7-8 

Beloved, Let Us Love One Another: For Love Is Of God; And Every One That Loveth Is Born Of God, And Knoweth God. He That Loveth Not Knoweth Not God; For God Is Love.

John 13:34-35 

A New Commandment I Give Unto You, That Ye Love One Another; As I Have Loved You, That Ye Also Love One Another. By This Shall All Men Know That Ye Are My Disciples, If Ye Have Love One To Another.

Matthew 5:44-48 

But I Say Unto You, Love Your Enemies, Bless Them That Curse You, Do Good To Them That Hate You, And Pray For Them Which Despitefully Use You, And Persecute You; That Ye May Be The Children Of Your Father Which Is In Heaven: For He Maketh His Sun To Rise On The Evil And On The Good, And Sendeth Rain On The Just And On The Unjust. For If Ye Love Them Which Love You, What Reward Have Ye? Do Not Even The Publicans The Same? And If Ye Salute Your Brethren Only, What Do Ye More Than Others? Do Not Even The Publicans So? Be Ye Therefore Perfect, Even As Your Father Which Is In Heaven Is Perfect.

THE LAW IS NOT OF FAITH, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WHICH IS BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST

 THE LAW IS NOT OF FAITH, 

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WHICH IS BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST

2 Corinthians 3:3,6-18 

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. 

[6] WHO ALSO HATH MADE US ABLE MINISTERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT; Not Of The Letter, BUT OF THE SPIRIT: For The Letter Killeth, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVETH LIFE. But If The Ministration Of Death, Written And Engraven In Stones, Was Glorious, So That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Behold The Face Of Moses For The Glory Of His Countenance; Which Glory Was To Be Done Away: HOW SHALL NOT THE MINISTRATION OF THE SPIRIT BE RATHER GLORIOUS? For If The Ministration Of Condemnation Be Glory, MUCH MORE DOTH THE MINISTRATION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS EXCEED IN GLORY. For Even That Which Was Made Glorious Had No Glory In This Respect, By Reason Of The Glory That Excelleth. For If That Which Is Done Away Was Glorious, MUCH MORE THAT WHICH REMAINETH IS GLORIOUS. Seeing Then That We Have Such Hope, We Use Great Plainness Of Speech:  And Not As Moses, Which Put A Vail Over His Face, That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Look To The End Of That Which Is Abolished: But Their Minds Were Blinded: For Until This Day Remaineth The Same Vail Untaken Away In The Reading Of The Old Testament; WHICH VAIL IS DONE AWAY IN CHRIST. But Even Unto This Day, When Moses Is Read, The Vail Is Upon Their Heart. Nevertheless, When It Shall Turn To The Lord, The Vail Shall Be Taken Away. NOW THE LORD IS THAT SPIRIT: AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY. But We All, With Open Face Beholding As In A Glass The Glory Of The Lord, Are Changed Into The Same Image From Glory To Glory, Even As By The Spirit Of The Lord.

Galatians 3:10-13 

For As, Many As Are Of The Works Of The Law Are Under The Curse: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Continueth Not In All Things Which Are Written In The Book Of The Law To Do Them. But That No Man Is Justified By The Law In The Sight Of God, It Is Evident: FOR, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. AND THE LAW IS NOT OF FAITH: But, The Man That Doeth Them Shall Live In Them. CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, Being Made A Curse For Us: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Hangeth On A Tree:

Matthew 11:13 

FOR ALL THE PROPHETS AND THE LAW PROPHESIED UNTIL JOHN.

Luke 16:16

THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN: SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED, AND EVERY MAN PRESSETH INTO IT.

Romans 6:14 

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, BUT UNDER GRACE.

Romans 6:1-4

WHAT SHALL WE SAY THEN? SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND? GOD FORBID. HOW SHALL WE, THAT ARE DEAD TO SIN, LIVE ANY LONGER THEREIN? KNOW YE NOT, THAT SO MANY OF US AS WERE BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST WERE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH? THEREFORE WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM BY BAPTISM INTO DEATH: THAT LIKE AS CHRIST WAS RAISED UP FROM THE DEAD BY THE GLORY OF THE FATHER, EVEN SO, WE ALSO SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE.

Romans 3:21-22

But Now The Righteousness Of God Without The Law Is Manifested, Being Witnessed By The Law And The Prophets; EVEN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WHICH IS BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST UNTO ALL AND UPON ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE: FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE:

JESUS IS THE TRUTH, HE WILL SET YOU FREE!!!

 JESUS IS THE TRUTH, HE WILL SET YOU FREE!!!

John 14:6 

Jesus Saith Unto Him, I Am The Way, THE TRUTH, And The Life: No Man Cometh Unto The Father, But By Me.

John 8:32 

And Ye Shall Know The Truth, And The Truth Shall Make You Free.

John 8:36 

If The Son Therefore Shall Make You Free, Ye Shall Be Free Indeed.

Romans 6:6-8 

Knowing This, That Our Old Man Is Crucified With Him, That The Body Of Sin Might Be Destroyed, That Henceforth We Should Not Serve Sin. For He That Is Dead Is Freed From Sin. Now If We Be Dead With Christ, We Believe That We Shall Also Live With Him:

Romans 6:17-18 

But God Be Thanked, That Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, But Ye Have Obeyed From The Heart That Form Of Doctrine Which Was Delivered You. Being Then Made Free From Sin, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness.

Romans 6:22 

But Now Being Made Free From Sin, And Become Servants To God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, And The End Everlasting Life.

Romans 8:2 

For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death.

Galatians 5:1 

Stand Fast Therefore In The Liberty Wherewith Christ Hath Made Us Free, And Be Not Entangled Again With The Yoke Of Bondage.

1 Peter 2:16 

As Free, And Not Using Your Liberty For A Cloke Of Maliciousness, But As The Servants Of God.

Galatians 5:24-25 

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts.  If We Live In The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk In The Spirit.

THROUGH THE SPIRIT

 THROUGH THE SPIRIT

Romans 8:13-17

For If Ye Live After The Flesh, Ye Shall Die: But If Ye THROUGH THE SPIRIT DO MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, Ye Shall Live. For As Many As Are Led By The Spirit Of God, They Are The Sons Of God. For Ye Have Not Received The Spirit Of Bondage Again To Fear; BUT YE HAVE RECEIVED THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION, WHEREBY WE CRY, ABBA, FATHER. THE SPIRIT ITSELF BEARETH WITNESS WITH OUR SPIRIT, THAT WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD: AND IF CHILDREN, THEN HEIRS; HEIRS OF GOD, AND JOINT-HEIRS WITH CHRIST; IF SO BE THAT WE SUFFER WITH HIM, THAT WE MAY BE ALSO GLORIFIED TOGETHER.

Romans 8:10 

And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; BUT THE SPIRIT IS LIFE BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Galatians 5:24-25

And They That Are Christ's HAVE Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live In The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk In The Spirit.

Romans 8:9

But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In You. Now If Any Man Have Not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His.

1 John 3:1-9 

Behold, What Manner Of Love The Father Hath Bestowed Upon Us, That We Should Be Called The Sons Of God: Therefore The World Knoweth Us Not, Because It Knew Him Not. Beloved, Now Are We The Sons Of God, And It Doth Not Yet Appear What We Shall Be: But We Know That, When He Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like Him; For We Shall See Him As He Is. And EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIETH HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE IS PURE. Whosoever Committeth Sin Transgresseth Also The Law: For Sin Is The Transgression Of The Law. And Ye Know That HE WAS MANIFESTED TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS; And In Him Is No Sin. WHOSOEVER ABIDETH IN HIM SINNETH NOT: Whosoever Sinneth Hath Not Seen Him, NEITHER KNOWN HIM. LITTLE CHILDREN, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU: HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM: AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD.

1 Corinthians 2:12

Now We Have Received, Not The Spirit Of The World, But The Spirit Which Is Of God; That We Might Know The Things That Are Freely Given To Us Of God.

James 1:5

If Any Of You Lack Wisdom, Let Him Ask Of God, That Giveth To All Men Liberally, And Upbraideth Not; And It Shall Be Given Him.

The Days Are Evil

 The Days Are Evil

John 3:35-36 

The Father Loveth The Son, And Hath Given All Things Into His Hand. He That Believeth On The Son Hath Everlasting Life: And He That Believeth Not The Son Shall Not See Life; But The Wrath Of God Abideth On Him.

Romans 2:5 

But After Thy Hardness And Impenitent Heart Treasurest Up Unto Thyself Wrath Against The Day Of Wrath And Revelation Of The Righteous Judgment Of God;

Ephesians 5:1-17 

Be Ye Therefore Followers Of God, As Dear Children; And Walk In Love, As Christ Also Hath Loved Us, And Hath Given Himself For Us An Offering And A Sacrifice To God For A Sweetsmelling Savour. But Fornication, And All Uncleanness, Or Covetousness, Let It Not Be Once Named Among You, As Becometh Saints; Neither Filthiness, Nor Foolish Talking, Nor Jesting, Which Are Not Convenient: But Rather Giving Of Thanks. For This Ye Know, That No Whoremonger, Nor Unclean Person, Nor Covetous Man, Who Is An Idolater, Hath Any Inheritance In The Kingdom Of Christ And Of God. Let No Man Deceive You With Vain Words: For Because Of These Things Cometh The Wrath Of God Upon The Children Of Disobedience. Be Not Ye Therefore Partakers With Them. For Ye Were Sometimes Darkness, BUT NOW ARE YE LIGHT IN THE LORD: WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT: (FOR THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) PROVING WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE UNTO THE LORD. AND HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP WITH THE UNFRUITFUL WORKS OF DARKNESS, BUT RATHER REPROVE THEM. FOR IT IS A SHAME EVEN TO SPEAK OF THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE DONE OF THEM IN SECRET. BUT ALL THINGS THAT ARE REPROVED ARE MADE MANIFEST BY THE LIGHT: FOR WHATSOEVER DOTH MAKE MANIFEST IS LIGHT. WHEREFORE HE SAITH, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT. SEE THEN THAT YE WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, NOT AS FOOLS, BUT AS WISE, REDEEMING THE TIME, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL.  WHEREFORE BE YE NOT UNWISE, BUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS.

1 Thessalonians 5:5-10 

Ye Are All The Children Of Light, And The Children Of The Day: We Are Not Of The Night, Nor Of Darkness. Therefore Let Us Not Sleep, As Do Others; But Let Us Watch And Be Sober. For They That Sleep Sleep In The Night; And They That Be Drunken Are Drunken In The Night. But Let Us, Who Are Of The Day, Be Sober, Putting On The Breastplate Of Faith And Love; And For An Helmet, The Hope Of Salvation. For God Hath Not Appointed Us To Wrath, But To Obtain Salvation By Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Died For Us, That, Whether We Wake Or Sleep, We Should Live Together With Him.

Romans 5:1-6,8-11 

Therefore Being Justified By Faith, We Have Peace With God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ: By Whom Also We Have Access By Faith Into This Grace Wherein We Stand, And Rejoice In Hope Of The Glory Of God. And Not Only So, But We Glory In Tribulations Also: Knowing That Tribulation Worketh Patience; And Patience, Experience; And Experience, Hope: And Hope Maketh Not Ashamed; Because The Love Of God Is Shed Abroad In Our Hearts By The Holy Ghost Which Is Given Unto Us. For When We Were Yet Without Strength, In Due Time Christ Died For The Ungodly. 

[8] But God Commendeth His Love Toward Us, In That, While We Were Yet Sinners, Christ Died For Us. Much More Then, Being Now Justified By His Blood, We Shall Be Saved From Wrath Through Him. For If, When We Were Enemies, We Were Reconciled To God By The Death Of His Son, Much More, Being Reconciled, We Shall Be Saved By His Life. And Not Only So, But We Also Joy In God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, By Whom We Have Now Received The Atonement.

Ephesians 5:16 

Redeeming The Time, Because The Days Are Evil.

1 Corinthians 15:34

Awake To Righteousness, And Sin Not; For Some Have Not The Knowledge Of God: I Speak This To Your Shame.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I DON'T WANT GOD TO BE ASHAMED OF ME.

HE RECONCILED US BACK TO GOD!

 HE RECONCILED US BACK TO GOD!

Romans 5:10 

For If, When We Were Enemies, We Were Reconciled To God By The Death Of His Son, Much More, Being Reconciled, We Shall Be Saved By His Life.

2 Corinthians 5:18-21

And All Things Are Of God, Who Hath Reconciled Us To Himself By Jesus Christ, And Hath Given To Us The Ministry Of Reconciliation; To Wit, That God Was In Christ, Reconciling The World Unto Himself, Not Imputing Their Trespasses Unto Them; And Hath Committed Unto Us The Word Of Reconciliation.  Now Then We Are Ambassadors For Christ, As Though God Did Beseech You By Us: We Pray You In Christ's Stead, Be Ye Reconciled To God. For He Hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us, Who Knew No Sin; That We Might Be Made The Righteousness Of God In Him.

Reconciled: To Re-establish A Close Relationship,

Look What The Word Reconciled Means, To Re-establish, That Means There Once Was A Close Relationship. That Close Relationship Was With Adam In The Garden, Which Is In Eden. God Talked With Adam In The Cool Of The Day. Adam And Eve Disobeyed God, And That Disobedience Is Called Sin. That Was The First Sin And Caused The Separation Between God And Man. That Sin Caused All Men To Become Enemies Of God. God 

Restored The Peaceful Relationship That He Once Had With Adam, Through Jesus Christ And His Perfect Sacrifice. After We Are Saved We Are No Longer Sinners That Are Afraid Of God, We Become His Children! Now We Can Come Boldly To His Throne Of Grace! He Loves Us! Jesus Made Peace Between God And Man. 

HE RECONCILED US BACK TO GOD!

Genesis 3:8 

And They Heard The Voice Of The Lord God Walking In The Garden In The Cool Of The Day: And Adam And His Wife Hid Themselves From The Presence Of The Lord God Amongst The Trees Of The Garden.

Romans 5:1 

Therefore Being Justified By Faith, We Have Peace With God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ:

Ephesians 2:18 

For Through Him We Both Have Access By One Spirit Unto The Father.

Hebrews 4:16 

Let Us, Therefore, Come Boldly Unto The Throne Of Grace, That We May Obtain Mercy, And Find Grace To Help In Time Of Need.

THE DEFINITION OF GRACE IS FOUND IN PSALM 85:10,

 THE DEFINITION OF GRACE IS FOUND IN PSALM 85:10,

MERCY AND TRUTH ARE MET TOGETHER; RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE HAVE KISSED EACH OTHER.

AND GRACE IS JESUS! HIS MERCY TOWARDS US, HE IS TRUTH, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IMPUTED UNTO US, SO THAT WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD!!! WE ARE NO MORE AT ENMITY WITH GOD.

ISAIAH 32:17

AND THE WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL BE PEACE; AND THE EFFECT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS QUIETNESS AND ASSURANCE FOR EVER.

ROMANS 5:1-2 

THEREFORE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST: BY WHOM ALSO WE HAVE ACCESS BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, AND REJOICE IN HOPE OF THE GLORY OF GOD.

ISAIAH 53:4-6 

SURELY HE HATH BORNE OUR GRIEFS, AND CARRIED OUR SORROWS: YET WE DID ESTEEM HIM STRICKEN, SMITTEN OF GOD, AND AFFLICTED. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES: THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM; AND WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY; WE HAVE TURNED EVERY ONE TO HIS OWN WAY; AND THE LORD HATH LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL.

1 PETER 2:24-25 

WHO HIS OWN SELF BARE OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BODY ON THE TREE, THAT WE, BEING DEAD TO SINS, SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED. FOR YE WERE AS SHEEP GOING ASTRAY; BUT ARE NOW RETURNED UNTO THE SHEPHERD AND BISHOP OF YOUR SOULS.

EPHESIANS 2:16-18 

AND THAT HE MIGHT RECONCILE BOTH UNTO GOD IN ONE BODY BY THE CROSS, HAVING SLAIN THE ENMITY THEREBY: AND CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHICH WERE AFAR OFF, AND TO THEM THAT WERE NIGH. FOR THROUGH HIM WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS BY ONE SPIRIT UNTO THE FATHER.

ROMANS 4:21-25 

AND BEING FULLY PERSUADED THAT, WHAT HE HAD PROMISED, HE WAS ABLE ALSO TO PERFORM. AND THEREFORE IT WAS IMPUTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. NOW IT WAS NOT WRITTEN FOR HIS SAKE ALONE, THAT IT WAS IMPUTED TO HIM; BUT FOR US ALSO, TO WHOM IT SHALL BE IMPUTED, IF WE BELIEVE ON HIM THAT RAISED UP JESUS OUR LORD FROM THE DEAD; WHO WAS DELIVERED FOR OUR OFFENCES, AND WAS RAISED AGAIN FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION.

PRAISE YOU LORD JESUS!!!
