Here's how it works:
We
do our best to live according to Jesus example and don't worry about
anything else. We are pure in the sight of God. We do not have to work
for our salvation; God gave it to us through Jesus. When God the
Father, looks at us He only sees righteous beings. He cannot see past
Jesus pure blood of His son that covers us.
The blood sacrifice was installed when God killed animals to clothe Adam & Eve after they sinned. Then, God was angry with Cain because he gave an offering of vegetables from the ground that God had cursed. Abel followed what he was taught and gave a blood offering. Nothing is cleansed without blood. We don't need animals because we are redeemed to God by Jesus blood.
We don't have to stop and repent of every wrong thought throughout our day. Recognize you did did it and know you have been forgiven - 2,000 years ago. It is done for us for all time. Jesus cannot crawl back up on the cross to be another sacrifice every time someone sins. The plan is magnificent in it's simplicity! ! ! What a clever God we have. What a loving Jesus.
We are the righteousness of God through what Jesus has sacrificed. God is righteous because of His loving grace to us. We are righteous in His sight.
As God's perfect law, the 10 Commands make a great guide line. Just don't expect to keep them or judge yourself when you fail. You do not have to follow the letter of the law for your salvation. You cannot get into heaven on your own efforts. YOU NEED THE BLOOD OF JESUS. He already shed it. You are going. You have your ticket. Stop trying to make your salvation all about you. It's all about Jesus. Only He is perfect enough to atone for us.
Believe. Faith. Love God above all else and love your neighbor as much as yourself. - Easy- peasy!
God made it easy for us because man failed time after time. God knew we could not save ourselves. Accept it. Be free. Claim Jesus. The great "I Am".
Amen
