PJP2 PROLOG 160221 PROLOG Focus Leviticus 26:40-42

Psalm 30:4 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Sing Praises to The Lord, O you His saints, and Give Thanks to His Holy Name."....

PJP2 PROLOG POST 160221 - Leviticus 26:40-42 (NIV/emphasis added/jaj)....“ (The Lord Said to Moses)....‘But if they Will Confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors—their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward Me, Which Made Me Hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—Then When their uncircumcised Hearts Are Humbled And they pay for their sin, I Will Remember My Covenant with Jacob and My Covenant with Isaac and My Covenant with Abraham, And I Will Remember The Land.'"....

I am Ever and Always Amazed at The Workings of The Holy Spirit.  As we Read His Inspired Passage Of Word Select (I/POWS) taken from Leviticus 26:40-42, one might think that YAHWEH is Saying that we will have 'to pay' for our Redemption and Reconciliation.  However, we all know there is no way we have, or will ever have the Eternal Resources necessary to accomplish this.

Thus enter The Holy Spirit and His Grace and Truth.  He Inspired Paul to write.....

Romans 10:5-13 (NIV/emphasis & paraphrase added/jaj)...."Moses writes this about The Righteousness That Is by The Law: “The person who does these things will live by them.'

BUT The Righteousness That IS By FAITH Says: 'Do Not Say in your Heart, ‘Who will Ascend Into heaven?' that is, to bring Christ down; Or ‘Who will Descend into the deep?’ that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.

BUT What Does The Word say?

'The WORD Is Near you; It Is In your Mouth And In your Heart,' that is, The Message Concerning FAITH That we Proclaim: If you Declare With your Mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' And Believe In your Heart That God Raised Him From the dead, you Will Be SAVED.

For It Is With your Heart That you Believe And Are Justified, And It Is With your Mouth That you Profess your FAITH And Are SAVED.

As Scripture Says, 'Anyone who Believes In Him Will Never Be put to shame.'  For there is No Difference between Jew and Gentile—The SAME Lord is Lord of All And Richly Blesses All who Call On Him, for, 'Everyone who Calls On The Name of The Lord Will Be SAVED.'”

There you have it.....As Paul shares with us, God The Father Provided us The Law to Help us Understand that Without Him, there is No Pathway for us to reach Reconciliation and Redemption.  Jesus further Cemented this Truth via His Word Recorded in John 14:6 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Jesus Said to him, 'I Am The Way, and The Truth, and The Life.  No one Comes to The Father Except Through Me."....

Thus my Prayer for us today would be - Lord Jesus, Open the Eyes of our Hearts to See Your Truth.  Holy Spirit, for those who have Not Yet Called Upon You, Open the Mouths of their Hearts to do so.  Father God, for those who Are of Your Family of Believers, Help and Empower us to Share Your Truth of Grace.  In Your Holy Name we Pray....Amen/Amen....jaj
