|    2 Samuel 4: Seek Christ's Righteousness     |

      [continued from previous message]              is urgent. You cannot repair what sin has broken. You cannot climb to       God through your own worthiness.              But God, in His mercy, sent His Son to accomplish what you never could.       Jesus Christ died for your sins, bearing the full weight of judgment       that should have fallen on you. His death paid the penalty your sins       deserved, satisfying God’s righteous demands. His resurrection stands as       God’s declaration that the sacrifice was accepted and the debt fully       paid (Romans 4:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). God calls you to change your       mind about sin, to stop trusting in your own strength or alliances, and       to rest in the righteousness Christ provides. Call on the name of the       Lord, for He will save you. Do not put this off. Your alliances will       crumble. Your works will fail. But Christ’s righteousness endures forever.              For believers, this chapter calls you to seek Christ's righteousness.       You do not walk in your own strength. God calls you to reject the subtle       temptation to rely on people, systems, or your own achievements. He       calls you to rest in His redemption and seek the righteousness of the       One who reigns with perfect justice. Strengthen your confidence in God’s       King. Trust His ways. Walk in His righteousness. And let your life       reflect the grace you received from His hand.              --       Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God       raised Him from the dead?              That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death       penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death       satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John       2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your       sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.              On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on       the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name       of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).              https://christrose.news/salvation              To automatically receive daily Bible teaching updates with colorful       images and website formatting, subscribe to my feed in a client like       Thunderbird:              https://www.christrose.news/feeds/posts/default              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
