GOD, WHO IS RICH IN MERCY

GOD, WHO IS RICH IN MERCY

Romans 3:20-28 

Therefore By The Deeds Of The Law There Shall No Flesh Be Justified In His Sight: For By The Law Is The Knowledge Of Sin. 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: 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: Whom God Hath Set Forth To Be A Propitiation Through Faith In His Blood, To Declare His Righteousness For The Remission Of Sins That Are Past, Through The Forbearance Of God; To Declare, I Say, At This Time His Righteousness: That He Might Be Just, And The Justifier Of Him Which Believeth In Jesus. Where Is Boasting Then? It Is Excluded. By What Law? Of Works? Nay: But By The Law Of Faith. Therefore We Conclude That A Man Is Justified By Faith Without The Deeds Of The Law.

Hebrews 10:1-3 

For The Law Having A Shadow Of Good Things To Come, And Not The Very Image Of The Things, Can Never With Those Sacrifices Which They Offered Year By Year Continually Make The Comers Thereunto Perfect. For Then Would They Not Have Ceased To Be Offered? Because That The Worshippers Once Purged Should Have Had No More Conscience Of Sins. But In Those Sacrifices There Is A Remembrance Again Made Of Sins Every Year.

Hebrews 1:3 

Who Being The Brightness Of His Glory, And The Express Image Of His Person, And Upholding All Things By The Word Of His Power, When He Had By Himself Purged Our Sins, Sat Down On The Right Hand Of The Majesty On High;

Ephesians 2:4-10 

But GOD, WHO IS RICH IN MERCY, For His Great Love Wherewith He Loved Us, Even When We Were Dead In Sins, Hath Quickened Us Together With Christ, (By Grace Ye Are Saved;) And Hath Raised Us Up Together, And Made Us Sit Together In Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus: That In The Ages To Come He Might Shew The Exceeding Riches Of His Grace In His Kindness Toward Us Through Christ Jesus. For By Grace Are Ye Saved Through Faith; And That Not Of Yourselves: It Is The Gift Of God: Not Of Works, Lest Any Man Should Boast. For We Are His Workmanship, Created In Christ Jesus Unto Good Works, Which God Hath Before Ordained That We Should Walk In Them.

2 Peter 1:2-13 

Grace And Peace Be Multiplied Unto You Through The Knowledge Of God, And Of Jesus Our Lord, According As His Divine Power Hath Given Unto Us All Things That Pertain Unto Life And Godliness, Through The Knowledge Of Him That Hath Called Us To Glory And Virtue: Whereby Are Given Unto Us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: That By These Ye Might Be Partakers Of The Divine Nature, Having Escaped The Corruption That Is In The World Through Lust. And Beside This, Giving All Diligence, Add To Your Faith Virtue; And To Virtue Knowledge; And To Knowledge Temperance; And To Temperance Patience; And To Patience Godliness; And To Godliness Brotherly Kindness; And To Brotherly Kindness Charity. For If These Things Be In You, And Abound, They Make You That Ye Shall Neither Be Barren Nor Unfruitful In The Knowledge Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. But He That Lacketh These Things Is Blind, And Cannot See Afar Off, And Hath Forgotten That He Was Purged From His Old Sins. Wherefore The Rather, Brethren, Give Diligence To Make Your Calling And Election Sure: For If Ye Do These Things, Ye Shall Never Fall: For So An Entrance Shall Be Ministered Unto You Abundantly Into The Everlasting Kingdom Of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I Will Not Be Negligent To Put You Always In Remembrance Of These Things, Though Ye Know Them, And Be Established In The Present Truth. Yea, I Think It Meet, As Long As I Am In This Tabernacle, To Stir You Up By Putting You In Remembrance;

1 Corinthians 6:11 

And Such Were Some Of You: But Ye Are Washed, But Ye Are Sanctified, But Ye Are Justified In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, And By The Spirit Of Our God.

Romans 8:1-17 

There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death. For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh: That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. For They That Are After The Flesh Do Mind The Things Of The Flesh; But They That Are After The Spirit The Things Of The Spirit. For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; But To Be Spiritually Minded Is Life And Peace. Because The Carnal Mind Is Enmity Against God: For It Is Not Subject To The Law Of God, Neither Indeed Can Be. So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God. 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. And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; But The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness. But If The Spirit Of Him That Raised Up Jesus From The Dead Dwell In You, He That Raised Up Christ From The Dead Shall Also Quicken Your Mortal Bodies By His Spirit That Dwelleth In You. Therefore, Brethren, We Are Debtors, Not To The Flesh, To Live After The Flesh. 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.

If You Can Make Yourself Righteous Enough To Glorify God, Then There Is No Need For Jesus Christ And His Sacrifice.
