The Character of God

The Holiness of God
Your eyes are too pure to approve evil, and You cannot look on wickedness with favor. Habakkuk 1:13
But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear. Isaiah 59:2

The Justice of God
For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; the upright will behold His face. Psalm 11:7
But the LORD of hosts will be exalted in judgment, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness. Isaiah 5:16
God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day. If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready. Psalm 7:11-12

The Depravity & Condemnation of Man

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
For all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment Isaiah 64:6
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, ACCURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM. Galatians 3:10

The Great Dilemma

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 17:15
Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly? Genesis 18:25

God’s Action

While maintaining His holiness and justice, the Bible also affirms that God is love, and that in love He has responded to the plight of man.

Motivated by Love

God is love. By this the love of God is manifested in us, that God sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:8-10

The Cross of Christ

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3:23-26

The Resurrection

He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification. Romans 4:25

Man’s Response

Repentance begins with a recognition and confession that what God says about us is true that we have sinned.

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against You, You only, I have sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified when You speak and blameless when You judge. Psalm 51:3-4
A genuine recognition of our sinfulness and guilt will also lead to genuine sorrow, shame and even hatred for what we have done.

For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. Romans 7:15
Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from this body of death? Romans 7:24
Apparent sincerity of confession alone is never definite evidence of genuine repentance. It must be accompanied by a turning away from sin.

Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil. Isaiah 1:16
therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Matthew 3:10

Faith Defined

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. Romans 4:21
Faith Based on The Promises of God
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16
Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved Acts 16:31

Example of a Believer

worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh Philippians 3:3

The Basis of Genuine Assurance

True conversion: A true Christian is a new creation and will live a life that reflects God’s radical work of re-creation in his/her life. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? Matthew 7:16

Assurance is based upon self-examination in the light of Scripture. Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you unless indeed you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13

Test of Biblical Assurance
1 John 1:5-7 (Walking in the Light), 1 John 1:8-10 (Confession of Sin), 1 John 2:3-4 (Obedience), 1 John 2:9-11 (Love for the Brethren), 1 John 2:15-17 (Hatred for the World), 1 John 2:24-25 (Perseverance in Doctrine), 1 John 3:10 (Righteousness), 1 John 4:13 (Spirit’s Testimony), Hebrews 12:5-8 (Discipline)

[jasonjennings]

I’m so thankful for the mercy and forgiveness he has given us to save us all glory to god for he is an awesome god

[xXTHNXx]

If you’re reading this please spread the gospel please there’s so many people don’t know the word of God

[glennthehelper]

Yes it's so simple to be saved and once you are saved and gained salvation you can't lose it no matter what you do. This is proof of God's love for us. His Love is beyond any of our comprehension. His Love never fails it never gives up and it never runs out and in Lord Jesus Mighty name I pray. Amen.

[cjon]

We love Him because He loved us first.

His father to the fatherless defender for the widows

[SlayingSin]

Samson tried to run away from God, but God chased that man down.

[JibreelProductions]

Alhamdulillah, indeed the ones who believe in God alone, without partners, pray his 5 prayers a day, and ask for forgiveness always, will experience what this man just described... (except the part of God adopting us like a father, he doesn't have sons in that sense, that doesn't mean he doesn't love us, but we are the creation, God is way higher than such links...) Brothers we need to keep the monotheism, and honestly the ones of you who are sincere should read the Quran, it IS the word of God 100% (obviously the Arabic, not a "version", if you read the version then a lot of it is lost, which is part of what happens with the Bible and other texts from older revelations, not to talk about versions or additions/removing of parts of it by kings and others...)

[joeydaniel]

The Word of God literally says "HE WILL CUT YOU OFF" in Romans 11:22. Is this a warning to believers or non-believers? It's towards believers. Why would then God be warning Christians of such an event that supposedly would never happen to them??? Beware of the false doctrine of Calvinism.

[jerrycash]

I'm too Feeble to run away. When you look like old people..

[lorenzoortez]

IF it weren't possible to lose Salvation, what about judas, & sons of perdition? Also the Lord does not warn if it wasn't possible to fall, hence: He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; & I will not blot out his name out of the book of life (rev3:5) Also, for IF God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also not spare you. Behold therefore the goodness & severity of God: on them that fell, severity: but toward you, goodness, IF YOU CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS: OTHERWISE YOU SHALL BE CUT OFF. (Romans11:21, 22)

[markwillhite]

That is dead wrong. Satan is a fallen angel who once worked for God. Satan was therefore in heaven, We can even get kicked out of heaven. Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden which represents heaven. They were kicked out. This guy is a false prophet. They bring false hope.

You have no idea what the word 'reality' is but I guess you know what tax free donations mean.
