Continuing now with our previous discussion regarding the reason why God sees you as righteous, sinless, tho probably you dont see yourself this way.
And THAT, reader, Saint, is the bottom line issue i will discuss with you now, related to coming in line with the perfect understanding regarding your holy and eternal position "in Christ".

Here is the issue...
God gave you HIS righteousness, Jesus took your sin, and there you are confessing them to try to stay saved, or you are trying by effort to maintain your eternal life.
Well, Child of God and some friendly and others not so friendly forumites, ... you cant do it......you cant maintain your salvation, it cant be done.
You cant save yourself, and you cant pay for your sins so that they are resolved,= because only a SINLESS GOD MAN, can do that for you.
Did you never realize that the reason that hell never ends, is because noone there is able to pay for their sin and make it stop.
>Think<.

The reality is, ... Only the one who procured it (Salvation-Redemption) and implemented it on your behalf, can keep it for you.
God is the keeper of your salvation and Jesus IS eternal life.
You control neither........All you do is receive them by faith....and then God GIVES IT TO YOU.
The reason you stay saved, is because God's plan of salvation excludes your ability to mess it up.
This is why you are left out of it, while God and Christ on a Cross did it ALL and.... "it is FINISHED".
And that is why, Salvation is OF God, through Christ, and not of you in any way, shape, or forum.
Period.
Everything you do, since you are saved, whereby you are trying to serve God, or come back to God, or stay close to God, or in some cases, stuff you do to try to be forgiven again......is all meaningless with regards to how you were saved,.....WHO saved you....and WHO keeps you saved.

Now, do you want to know how to get past all the flesh traps and the theological heresies, and become immune to the people who come to forums like this to try to infect you with the damnable idea that you ither can lose your salvation, or you have to be always striving to keep it by works and deeds?
Its very simple...
Its so very simple to free yourself from these unfortunate types and to even free yourself from your own circular reasoning guilt trip of condemnation whereby some of you have taken a few verses out of context and used them to build a straw man theology that is just beating you and misleading you and never allowing any peace to rule in your walk with God the Father.

Here is the switch...

What you do is begin to accept that what God says about you, is the truth, and what you think about yourself is just your own point of view.
What you do, Saint, is "lean not to your own understanding" regarding your status and position in God's Kingdom Family,.., and instead completely accept what God says about your born again position in God's family as a "new creation" with "Sonship" status", who is "seated in heavenly places", a "join heir with Jesus Christ", and eternally secure in God's family because this fact of your HEAVENLY SONSHIP STATUS is completely and solely based on the REALITY that GOD did all this for you and keeps it all for you, because He loves you so much, = He sent His Only Begotten Son to bring you to this very eternal status in God's perspective, and in God's reality.

Then next time you look in the mirror, i want you to recognize and accept that the person in that image, is GOD's VERY Righteousness.
The reason you need to see yourself this way, from now on, is because God sees you, the born again, this way forever.
It does not matter how you feel, or what you've done, or how you might have failed.
All that matters is that the Blood of Jesus Christ has recreated you to be deemed RIGHTEOUS every second of eternity in God's point of View, since the day you first believed and were born again.
This is why your New Testament tells you that.... "As Jesus is, so are YOU-WE, in this World".
God sees you as just like Christ.......the very same righteousness, and that is because God has GIFTED YOU with it.........Its YOURS, and its what allows you to be in fellowship and relationship with the Father, for eternity.
This is Salvation.
This is Redemption.
So, Saint,.... Live and rejoice in the knowledge of what you ARE, .....Because it IS what you are, because its what GOD through Christ, has recreated you to be and remain.
Therefore it is TRUE.
You ARE the righteousness of God.
This is how GOD sees you, and that is how you are to see yourself.
Accept it, rejoice in it, and Thank Him for what He has provided for you.

Amen, Brother. That needed to be said. Now we need to all walk in it. Every day.It's really easy to think poorly of oneself and to believe that how could God love me, after all, I know what kind of person I am. Bad decisions, bad money management, I sin every day, I could go on and on.

But just because we do the wrong things doesn't mean that God changes how He thinks about us, or sees us. God doesn't change. He sees us through the blood of Jesus, so that doesn't change because we're having a bad day. But if we don't believe this, then it blows our faith out of the water. Not a good thing.
