Romans 4:25
who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God wants us to respond freely to Him in ℓσνє.
God put the tree of life that He wants His people to partake of. He also put tree of knowledge of good and evil.
God gave man the choice
1 Corinthians 15:26
The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
At the cross Jesus died for us. His heel was crashed but He crashed the serpent’s head.
You see that God cannot bypass sin but God loves the sinner.
Sin in us and God hate sin
God loves us.
Romans 4:25
who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
Compare with God perfection and none can stand.

Christ died for our sins. In that gospel is righteousness of God revealed.

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
We have been declared righteous we have peace with God
Psalms 14:1
Folly of the Godless, and God’s Final Triumph
(Ps. 53:1–6)
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.
Hope, positive expectation of good in the future
God will cause all things to work together for good because u know u have peace with God
Romans 5:1-2
Faith Triumphs in Trouble
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Grace is unmerited and unearned favour
By His resurrection you are on the favour ground
There is a circle of favour. A ground of favour that Jesus paid with my name in it. Possess it! See the God of favour
We have access by faith!
I take it by faith on favour ground!
Circle of favour with our name on it to possess

With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
Got has raised His Son and we have been declared righteous!
Under God’s unclouded favour!
The same favour on Jesus is on us!
2 Corinthians 5:19-21
that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
His supply is always over abundance!
God does not just answer prayers. He over answers prayers
God always over answers us
God always wanting to bless and give! God is the eternal Giver.
Let Him bless us and give to us

We come to bible reading is not to score points with God. We are already on favoured ground. We come to the bible because this is our inheritance book.

Who He is, we are in Him
The bible is photo album of our Lord Jesus Christ

When we see what Christ has, we have!

and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

You must take the place. Identify yourself with what Christ has done. Receive!
It must be Christ and Christ alone.
Faith in Christ makes me righteous before God
You will get to know God! The more you declare you are the righteousness of God in Christ
In Christ Jesus, not in ourselves
