A God who forgives sins!

Who is a God like you, who forgives the sins
and the remnant of his inheritance, the violation shall adopt,
his anger holds not always, has
but delight in the grace?
Micah 7 verse 18


"In you must burn what you wish to kindle in others". A wise saying of St. Augustine - I've heard somewhere. Burn this verse I sing sometimes as a song, really so in me that I can infect others with it? I feel something when I ask "Who is a God like you ..?"

Recently we have started in the home group to read the book of Romans. In an introduction to the book of the Bible was written: "The overarching theme of Romans is the righteousness of God is.. The glorious truth that God alone by grace and by faith alone in Christ sinners justified "Super Something you read so happy

After looking through the long, Paul's typical introduction to the first topic. statements were provided samples, it was then pretty soon pretty handy. Even with the statement "I am not ashamed of the gospel" I noticed concrete situations of everyday life, where I preferred time kept the lid on this Gospel, so as not to .? supposed to run the trap I am ashamed about

Ok, I calm myself - we deserve us our salvation is not so. So once more in the text:

(Romans 1, 18) "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men ...".

I won - these are the others. Right has he, Paul. God like that at all with the wickedness. Next in the first chapter is a list of the evil, some unsavory things that make wicked Sun I behave quietly - some of it seems to me very well known. And this is not about the days when I still considered one of the wicked. But Paul is talking here for the first time of the wicked. And at some point is yes, then surely more of "the rest of us" talk. We read on.

(Romans 2, 1a) "why are sorry not to you, O man,
Whoever you are, who you judge!
For judge what you like the others, you judge yourself ... "

connected?
Or ... Paul then says maybe specific individuals who have publicly addressed and so and the "who you were also" stands only pretending. But I will have to be careful in the future, what I expect from others and how I "judge" ... that's right. What's next ... at some point but is also determined what about grace?

(Romans 2:00, 13) "For in God are not just, listen to suppose that
but those who follow the law ...."

Stop.

I'm trying to scroll forward. How I would look even know where it all dissolves Paul. Suppose that we only need to recognize that we can not keep it anyway and that's all clear is because we are Christians. The numerous cross-references I land then also in James 2 ... :

"For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one who is guilty in all".

little further down:

"Talk of trade and as such,
to be judged by the law of freedom".

In Luke 14 Jesus says:

"For which of you wants to build a tower that is not first down and calculated the costs
whether he has the means to totally execution ...?" (Luke 14, 28)

What does he want me to say? Something like this: Well, my friend think, better get right before one becomes a Christian. So simple it all is that is not - Can you do it at all?

I can think of the sins in my life that I do again and again. I am doing really against better knowledge ? What is it? Do I have yet to follow the law, to be saved. I realize: I then go definitely lost , if not a miracle. But I can not keep the law ... Help!

then comes to me Grammar and the comment a little help: I
Romans 2, verse 13 have still not quite finished reading. So again,

"For in God are not the justice who hear the law, but those
follow what the law should justified be .

The the merit then? False - which is "to be justified." From the Bible comment that my complete lack of knowledge of the Greek Language can bridge very well, I know: The original word may be justified was a legal expression. Paul in Romans seemed very like it. He comes from the word meet and means that someone declared righteous is . In another comment text, I find that more at length the note on Romans 3:00, 23: have

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory
they should have before God, so that they
justified without merit .. Are
by his grace
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus "

Again this be justified But slowly it dawns:

• God wants me to discard anything that is ungodly


• the law is not repealed - so I am guilty


• It may require a modified law of life with me

why Jesus says: "On the Beat Costs - successor has effects For I will completely "Perhaps one could say that any further violation of the law can grow through me a new spikes in Jesus' crown but I will not

But then the fantastic news!.?! I will yet declared righteous, even if I was not able to live without sin.

Well, why not one might ask, man. The bottom line but now I have what I have But had suspected all along - the panic is perfectly justified in so far - this is called a "be converted" But then it goes on..

For in this knowledge that it in my back and front is not enough with the "sanctity" and that the SIN is me making my situation clear. Could give rise to genuine gratitude ... which then determines sometimes a little go on feeling must. I am pleased indeed about beautiful things - for example on holiday - as a lark. And no one calls me so equal a charismatic. Now I will be much clearer why the verse as emotional was formulated:
Who is a God like you, forgive the sin of ...?

The Whole, is actually just incomprehensible mercy of God, right? But I can only be understood correctly when I realize how sinful I am and how little I the commandments ... So the will of God ... may be sufficient. Forgiveness understood in this context leads inevitably to wonder

- and then finally to burning for what we call "narrative community" (actually only define another by 'Christians') in Other do light: namely acceptance and gratitude for this gift of forgiveness, no one deserves from us.

for God or for us?


why: If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new! But all things [come] from God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, because God was in Christ and the world that is reconciled with itself, by showing them their sins, be reckoned and the word of reconciliation put in us.
second Corinthians 5, 17ff.

the beginning of a new work we face the logical question: "What shall we do as we put something new on the legs and what is God? ?.'s Will in the matter "I had in the past often find that it is precisely this last question of God's will - so serious and innocent, we may make them too - quite crippling sometimes, when we are tense to make is in my experience. that when we sit down and wait for a possible supernatural answer. In this way, ever go a few months into the country until you consider whether you might have some understood something wrong.

In search of a suitable comparison I remembered the situation, experience or less grown-up children, if you - perhaps for the first time - have left the parental home because the parents such as go on holiday. Before departure, it will not let particularly the mothers take to explain in one or the other to point out again how the vacuum cleaner and washing machine, and convey to last views on cleanliness, before we not for a long time looks .

After the parents left the children and see the situation of a "storm-free shop" is exposed, it is now the final orders to follow the parents. Experience has shown us the question of precisely these instructions at the end of parental leave and more important and ... especially urgent.
Now is not Jesus after his resurrection, went on holiday. In this respect lags the comparison. That he comes back soon, but should be quite clear. Where the comparison fits, we also have a last command received - namely, to spread his word and tell others about the gift that we already know. Finally, exactly the famous last words of Jesus were his disciples - and therefore us.

The last sentence of the verse from 2 Corinthians that God "... the word of reconciliation in us lay " in other translations is rendered somewhat more clear: That he has given us the task of proclaiming the new peace. Our task is clear.

Back to the children in the abandoned house. "See that there is order, if we are back ...", the words are still ringing in the ear. For this purpose, no great detail is needed. The children know the relationship they have with their parents what they mean in general, under the oft-cited "order." Perhaps one in this respect do not always agree, but to be honest, it is clear what its parents. And that you would expect with law. There is probably no need to explain where is the vacuum cleaner plugged into the washing machine outlet which is, or where there is water.

I think, in a figurative sense, we too can our God-given common sense , We use when working on a task for Him. I'm sure we can organize, plan and distribute responsibilities according to our abilities when we have been recognized, what are to do it. However, it is certainly a difference to place our trust on this plan.

a nice situation I experienced on a company trip. There rang while we were sitting together in a relaxed atmosphere, at a time the mobile phone of our department manager. He answered, and then the following conversation could watch the audience yes to 50%, we quickly realized that he spoke with his children. They were still small and in a scared something specific situation at home. They asked their dad for advice involved a trivial thing for us adults ... but her father was of course immediately tried to clarify the problems of his children still on the ground and tell them what to do.

In this context, I see our prayers for the work we do. Which we think that should we do it. But maybe there are situations in which all logical leads planning and think somehow a dead end. the solution can , but God must still does not send in a supernatural way - in these cases, we simply call. But if we were on a wrong track and we ask him for advice - he would answer us with a stone? As our head against his children, he will take us seriously. Even if - may seem all rather mundane - from his perspective.

And our service to God should be fun. Indeed! In Psalm 119 verse 45 says,
"I walk happily, for I seek Your Commands
We should also use our gifts and abilities . Insert The service for our God is going to cost us a lot. Work, time, maybe money or sometimes nerves. However, it is a confirmation that it has acquired the right job, when you can say the bottom line: I like what God has entrusted to me.

One last thought, but we should also keep in mind. The Christian singer Amy Grant said in an interview once from a dream she had. In this dream she was in heaven and stood before Jesus. He said: "Amy, my child, what are you doing on earth for me?". Amy told how she took out her latest record in a dream ... one at the time had flat, round, black plastic disc, and said, "Here, look, Jesus!". And then she realized that The plate was melting in her hand and ran over her arm.

Especially when we do nice things for God, for which we use our gifts such as singing, drama or public speaking for God in public, always the danger that work is more than just a tool to hold. Here is primarily the obligation to examine our own - and maybe so requires, sometimes, love for our companions (the word 'brothers' to avoid ... but why?), Here and there to point out.

In this sense - we are all we have for the task ahead and we call our father as often as it goes, to discuss with him the state of affairs and, to be heard if we are still on his own and not on our way.

Friday with God


It seems a strange but true laws that we do not pray as we should. Curiously, we also still tend to pray more for people than to let them take a real practical help.

Isaac Loeb Peretz
(1852-1915) wrote a wonderful story about a Rabbi in Russia. This Rabbi was by those who knew him loved and appreciated and he was known for a unique relationship with God. A special feature of it was particularly interesting: Every Friday, he was gone for a few hours and then was not found. The people in the village gave a little of that, claiming that her rabbi would ascend to this prayer to heaven there to talk to God.

A newly drawn to the village a young man was a skeptic who scoffed at the faith of the simple villagers. Particularly irritated by the allegations against the rabbi, he decided one day to find out where the old man spent his days off. So he hid near the house and kept watch. He observed how the Rabbi got up early on Friday, took time for prayer and then the house - dressed like a farmer - left.

The man followed him at a safe distance and was able to observe how the rabbi cut down a tree, which he processed into a neat stack of firewood. He also observed how the rabbi broke up with the wood to a small hut in the forest. It was the home of an old woman, who then used her sick son. After the two vulnerable and frail people left there enough wood for about a week, he returned to his own house.

Pertz 'History ends with the story, like the young man who had observed all this, finally, a disciple of Rabbis was. For the rest of his life, whenever he heard someone in the village tell the mysterious story of the Rabi, he was quiet. He laughed no more about it, no sarcasm escaped his lips. Instead, he listened respectfully and said, if the language came to the rabbi's "trip to heaven," added quietly: "If not even higher ...".

We seem inclined to want to prove our discipleship to Jesus through church membership and doctrinal correctness. It's a little easy. The true real evidence that we know God is, but rather to serve selflessly and lovingly. Food for the hungry, shelter for those who are cold and lonely for the community - this is the way of Jesus. And it is also the best way to deal with skepticism and disbelief.

Do not just deeds, to being seen by others, but be aware you that sincere actions - even secretly - Witnesses. If you really know God and live with Him, then it is someone watching, noticing. This person wants to find out the secret of such a life and is thus able to Jesus.

what use it, my brothers, if a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him then? If a brother or sister is without clothes and now they lack of daily food, and any of you would say to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled you, but you would not give them! what is needed to satisfy their physical needs, what would help So it is with faith: If he has no works, it is in itself dead

All in favor?




I can not do anything by myself. As I hear, I judge: and my dish is just, for I seek not mine own will but the will of him who sent me.

If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true Another is the one who bears witness of me;. And I know that the testimony is true, which he testify of me.

John 5, 30-32


We feel better if we all agree. However, we could save ourselves a lot of unnecessary bending, if we just satisfied with God are OK.

If you are ever in the "I want to do-it-all-right-trap" tapped? Why does this happen to us? After all, not even God can please everybody. For example, there is the farmer, the God for rain for his fields calls while on the same day the head of the youth group for this group fervently pray that during the tent camp just does not rain. Or leaves the enthusiastic collector of us who have a long, hearty autumn with all its magnificent Colors and leaves pray, while the allergic person first refreezing can not yearn fast enough. The old man next door, who is hoping for his heart problems to a mild blast without snow - his grandson, but pray for snow, so he does not need to school. Examples are enough. So if God does not even can satisfy each according to his wishes, it should not surprise us because when we not be able to? Only a fool would believe that one hinbekommt that.

So if you should now try to please? Family members, the more time you want to spend? The boss who wants more time from you, then you spend your office or on the street? The shareholders of your company or clients? Your success or your conscience?

here Maybe we should all look at how Jesus behaved. He gave his life in balance by giving the one, the highest honor the commitment. The highest supervisor. His only boss was God. For him only a sat in the audience, and before whom he wanted to please all m others and, above all n Ander en .

* If the first question to ask yourself is: "What God wants from me in my situation?" - Then your focus will automatically align properly.

* If you are, regardless of the pressure that may come from outside, or what is considered "politically correct", decide to do the right thing, it shows that their moral commitment decision for you is selfish as rivaling Interests. do

* If you are what God wants from you, it does not matter what others think.

I am fully aware that this rule of thumb, not every case of a problem simply dissolves. But it shows the direction we should turn to our lives to live well . And it solves more cases than we are perhaps willing to admit. And it frees you from the compulsion to seek first-ever approval of others. A penalty that can destroy your life and ultimately dominate.

Jesus did not panic at the thought of being able to be rejected by others. This was because he knew that he a "public" was used, consisting of just one person.

the end it is God - and God - you want to hear them say: "Well done". His opinion is the only one that counts. If you are so conscious about whose approval you want to catch today?
