A mixed message is
completely dangerous because it has enough truth in it to make it
seem right to people. “There is a way that seems right to a man,
but in the end leads to death.” (Right and Wrong = death.) A
gallon of water with one drop of poison still looks like water, but
it will kill you. Mixers throw in the truth just to make the lies
taste palatable. Jesus said a little leaven leaven the whole. It
is a good thing that nothing real can be threatened and therefore we
don't have to battle with the mixers. If it is not pure grace, it is
not grace at all. There is one voice that matters. Hear ye Him and
enjoy this life the God quality way.
Grace recognizes the completeness in
Jesus. Law is something you need to do to become. This is in every
area of life, not just the Leviticus laws. If you recognize law,
you don't see that you already “Am.” If you think you need to do
something to be perfect, then you don't know you are already. You
have BEEN MADE righteous. There is no need to do anything AND I MEAN
ANYTHING to become. Recognizing that you lack is not only an
imagination, but will keep you bondage in your mind and lead to
death. Whether a law that you can't pick up sticks on the Sabbath day
to be righteous, or You have to be in a church every week to be a
good Christian, or you have to help coach a football team to be a
good dad. If you think you have to do to be....this is not grace.
Right living is not about right and wrong any longer. There is no
more sin because there is no more law that would make you guilty. To
think there is still sin is to believe in an illusion that only
existed before Jesus. The imagination of it is still bondage and
will keep you from God-quality of life. Well, of course there are
consequences to actions. DUH! But focusing on the choices will only
keep you making the same ones over and over. Holy Self-Righteous
Cow! The Truth is the only thing that sets people free from a life
of “trying” to live right. Truth is God's perspective, not our
perspective. Can you not see that “trying” to live right is the
very definition of self-righteousness. We have been made righteous.
I am righteous. Trying to be righteous is like me trying to be an
American. I am an American because I was born here. Righteous is
who I am. How could I try to be something I already am. Jesus is
NOT OUR EXAMPLE! He is our LIFE. We wouldn't need him if we could
try and get it right. Is this not the sweet and simple Truth?!?!
Oh, and I guess I should add I automatically act like a stereotypical
American. I like everything instantly. I tear up when I see an
American soldier. I believe in the American dream that anybody can
have success. And I always wear white socks. Nobody had to teach me
to do those things. It just came because I was born here. Nobody
has to teach me what loving people looks like because I was born in
love.
