HUNGER AND THIRST FOR JESUS CHRIST

HUNGER AND THIRST FOR JESUS CHRIST

Matthew 5:6 

BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH DO HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS: FOR THEY SHALL BE FILLED.

JOHN 6:35 

AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE: HE THAT COMETH TO ME SHALL NEVER HUNGER; AND HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME SHALL NEVER THIRST.

MATTHEW 6:33

BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.

The Law was given by God so that men could know what Righteousness is. If you keep all of The Law then you are Righteous before God. If you break The Law then you are a sinner. 

Jesus kept The Law perfectly, so now we believe in Him for our Righteousness. Only if you keep whole The Law will you be able to come before God, but men can not keep The Law because we love to sin. We love to lie, steal, kill, murder, commit adultery, and covet. When we do any of these we are breaking The Law, We Even Break The First Commandment Because We Are Not 

Loving The Lord As It Says in, Mark 12:30 

AND THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND, AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH: THIS IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT.

If you would keep The First Commandment, then you would keep them all. We can not get passed The First Commandment to be Righteous. That's why God sent Jesus in the likeness of men so that He would keep The Law for us. We Believe In The Righteousness Of Jesus Christ As Our Righteousness. 

When people hear me say that we are not sinners after Faith in Christ Jesus, they think that I am saying there is nothing else God can do for me. So I should be translated like Enoch was. 

First of all, I am not a sinner only because of The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ. When He Saved me His Holy Spirit came to Live in me and sealed me. 

The Holy Spirit molds and makes us into The Image of Jesus Christ. 

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 

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.

Romans 3:22-24 

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: FOR ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD;  BEING JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS:

Ephesians 1:12-14 

THAT WE SHOULD BE TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY, WHO FIRST TRUSTED IN CHRIST. IN WHOM YE ALSO TRUSTED, AFTER THAT YE HEARD THE WORD OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION: IN WHOM ALSO AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED, YE WERE SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE, WHICH IS THE EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF THE PURCHASED POSSESSION, UNTO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY.

So many people think that they have to be righteous themselves by keeping The Law when True Righteousness is by Faith In Christ Jesus. HAVE A ZEAL FOR JESUS CHRIST! HUNGER AND THIRST FOR JESUS CHRIST AND RECEIVE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS! 

Romans 10:2-4

For I Bear Them Record That They Have A Zeal Of God, But Not According To Knowledge. For They Being Ignorant Of God's Righteousness, And Going About To Establish Their Own Righteousness, Have Not Submitted Themselves Unto The Righteousness Of God. FOR CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH.

Romans 3:22-24 

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: FOR ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD;  BEING JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS:
