Archery Tournament -Romans 3:23,24 97 of 107   Jesus is the only person whose arrow has ever hit the target of God’s standard of righteousness. If put our faith in Jesus, God counts our arrow the same as if it were Jesus’ arrow. October 12, 2008

Good Morning Beloved,

Romans 3:23 has been the source of many a serious debate.  Some feel that it gives people license to sin (as if they really needed one).  I believe that the closer we become to Jesus… the more space He takes up in our heart, the more like Him we will become.  Have you ever noticed when people hang with each other a lot, after a while they start looking and sounding alike; sometimes finishing each others sentences.  That is what happens with us.  It is a unique paradigm, God treasures our individuality and our differences, but our heart is changing to look like Jesus.  Our faith and trust in God, our love and concern for others, our integrity, our boldness are all traits found in Jesus, that God is cultivating in us.  It is a lifelong project that we are privileged to share with our Heavenly Father.  I heard someone say, “but God is a God a wrath too”.  Yes, He is.  No doubt about that, just take a little stroll through the pages of scripture, and you will see that God can get very angry.  Thank God for Jesus.  Mediator between God and humanity.  I like the picture of God as Judge and Jesus as the defense attorney.  When the accuser of the brethren lodges his case against us (some of which is true by the way), if we confess our sins and throw ourselves on the mercy of the court, the defense attorney rolls up His sleeves and shows the court the nail scars…case dismissed…the debt was paid in full!

… and that my Royal Sibling is Good News!

U Blessed

Have A Fabulous Day
