Proverbs 17:15(NKJV)
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
The Judge shall be just... whereby if a criminal has broken the law... He or She is to be punished according to the severity of the crime committed. It doesn't matter what good deeds a person has done before or what great "nationally-acknowledge-achievement(s)" has been done... The Judge shall be just and the crime cannot be justified by the past good deeds... A 3rd degree murder shall be punished according by Law.
In essence... We were born sinners, full of lust... selfishness... in nature we are evil and wicked beings who personally knows that if we were to die tonight, we would end up in hell. God is not in our list to be put as a 'priority'... Lost without hope... As the world is going about its own way, we thought ourselves to compromise to certain 'known' sin... only to fall deeper into greater sin... greater rebellion against God. Within us a hunger for the spiritual... Seeking and trying to comprehend different religions... Only to realize, and to be unsure about whether after we die... Will our soul end up in heaven? or in hell? What will happen after death? Lacking the knowledge of the afterlife... Growing depressed in your own thoughts about the cares of this world and the hopelessness of it.
God is not impressed with your own 'conclusion' about life...
God cannot be reached by any means of science...
Neither could 'good deeds' nor 'being good' is good enough to buy yourself to heaven...
Because let's face it... If you compare yourself to the most "spiritual" person on earth... You know you're in deep trouble by your own sins... Which you are trapped in... Keep repeating of doing... Something that you wished you could stop... but couldn't... You know, your soul is heading to the fires of hell because deep inside of your heart, there is such a witness that God is Holy and He is a Good God... and He sits on a Throne of Judgement... and if He were to Judge upon your sins... You have no defense, because now you know that even your past good deeds could not excuse the wickedness of sins you have committed for your whole life up unto the point you come into realization the consequences are catching up on you AND now you are facing The Judgement Seat... There is only heaven or hell... and you're afraid to be thrown into hell. Even you yourself are sick looking at your own disgusting sin.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4(NKJV)
The Good News is... Someone has paid the full price of the punishment we all were to go through,,, The sad and ironic part is, many has chosen to disregard Him... This is what happened...
Romans 3 New King James Version (NKJV)
God’s Judgment Defended
3 What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?2 Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. 3 For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? 4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written:
“That You may be justified in Your words,
And may overcome when You are judged.”
And may overcome when You are judged.”
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.) 6 Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 8 And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.
All Have Sinned
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
10 As it is written:
“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13 “Their throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13 “Their throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
God’s Righteousness Through Faith
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all[h] who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
That GOD might be JUST... and the JUSTIFIER of the one who has FAITH in JESUS CHRIST our LORD...
When The Lord Jesus Christ carried His Cross... every single mockery... the torment He went through having given a crown of thorns... chastised... shamed at... left alone to suffer the humiliation... being INNOCENT of the crime that was accused towards Him... He had no sin to begin with, He was born of God... Being The Only Begotten Son of God, The Father. Jesus Christ our Lord... was crushed in our sin.
King James Bible
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
New International Version
Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
It was for us, our sins... Jesus Christ... The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins. If He wouldn't die on that cross, we would have no other hope to cling on to... There would be no other Way, there could be no one who would please and satisfy the Justice of God.
Sin must be punished... God is not letting you go because He just wants to fill up heaven... God is not going to be kind as others define kind as a judge turning a blind eye towards the convicting of the murderer... The lies... the adultery... the lustful heart and wickedness we bore against others... the murdering mind we harbor in our head... the jealous heart we had to take pleasure on the downfall of others... Evil and selfish attitudes... These sins must be punished... because our God is a Good and Just God... He can not be bribed...
The Son of Man... walked on Earth... lived His life not for Himself but for others... That those 'others' might know His Father... Being Himself having the very nature of God Himself... For He was With God and is God... The Lord Jesus Christ called for us to repent of our sins for the Kingdom of God is at hand. He Himself paid for our sins that we might be saved from the fires of hell. He Himself bore the punishment of sin... Being crushed... and even upon the very second he was about to die cried out for forgiveness upon our lives because we do not understand what we are doing.
It's like the picture of a courtroom... When you the murderer has been sentenced to death... By means of mandatory hang until death... Someone else comes and say "I will pay for his / her crime, let everything that was suppose to befall this person be upon me... I will bear the curse, I will bear the torment, I will bear the shame, I will bear the death penalty." That is a vague picture of it.
Romans 10:13King James Version (KJV)
John 3:16King James Version (KJV)
If you would turn away from your sins... Repent of your sins... put your Faith for what Jesus Christ did for you... acknowledging His Lordship... That He is The Lord Jesus Christ... Whom died on the cross for your sins, He was buried... But death could not contain Him, He rose again on the 3rd day and is now seated in Heaven having being witnessed by the hundreds upon his ascension towards Heaven being seated on the Right Hand of God... Promising to come back once again... Believing in The Good News... That your sins can be pardoned, forgiven, washed cleaned by the Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord... Being brought out from the kingdom of darkness born-again into the Kingdom of God... I'm telling you, the angels in heaven would rejoice for every soul that is saved... If... you repent of your sins and putting your Faith in The Lord Jesus Christ of what He has done for you on the cross.
