True Freedom in Christ

[Razor]

Hi there people!
How are you doing today, and how does it feel to know that you where already forgiven and righteouse in the sight of God, and you did not even relize it.
All you had to do was believe it.

It is great news isnt it.
You do not even have to attend Church and listen to the preacher say if you do this God will do that, because that is just not true.
Anything you may try to do to make yourself righteouse in the sight of God = COW DUNG!
The obediance of Christ unto death on the Cross has made you righteouse!
and nothing else but your belief in that sacrifice will ever make you a righteouse person in the sight of God.

The institution of the Church has much to answer for, trying to scare people into the pews to keep that old collection plate money rolling in, with visions of going to Hell if you do not attend our Church.
Or you will go to Hell if you do not confess your Sins daily.
Its laughable seeing as Hell no longer exists for the Human race after the completed work of the Cross.

Sin is all they seem to Focus on, Sin was removed from the Human race by the sacrafice of Jesus on the Cross at Calvary.

It beats me how they get around preaching the truth, and get away with it.
Still they have been doing it for a long time, so they are very practiced at it by now.
If you have any lingering doubts, remember Jesus was persecuted and put to Death at the insistance of Jewish Religiouse leaders for preaching the same message.
Jesus was a real threat to their power and standing in the community of that day.

I never ask for forgivness of sin for myself anymore.
I begin all my prayers by saying the following......Thank you Jesus for paying for my Sins.

Peace and Love to you all

Valid points you have made. God does not want us to go to him or her via fear but via love.
