Christ In Our Place

I think this IS the perfect name for this passage not only because the NKJV used it in the Bible but because of the act of love 💕 that was truly done to save an entire world and multitude of people out of love so I also am going to call this writing I am doing for you as a Child of God to learn from.

Romans 5:6-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

Christ in Our Place

6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Another translation explains it this way

Romans 5:6-8 New Living Translation (NLT)

6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. 7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Just something to ponder over that though we are still sinners God has protected us from the wrongs we have done by sending his son to die for the ungodly on the cross when we were powerless. I ask you to ponder this for a moment, would you honestly die on a cross for someone most answer that they wouldn’t. Though Jesus had no option to choose not to as God had spoken with him over the circumstances and told him that he had to die to save all is as sinners. Out of his faithful love towards us as his children God sent his son to die for us while we were still sinners.

God loves us so much that he sacrificed his very own son for all his children in the world.

In this Christ had to die in the cross though to save us from our own sin, although he promised to rise again. Dieing out of unfailing love for one is a strong sacrifice however Christ died for all of us that’s an even larger and the ultimate sacrifice that only God knew he could do. In his death Christ paid for our sin. For this I am very grateful as I know I may say to another I love you so much I’d die for you though I question if I would really be able to bring actions upon that statement. God knew his son would because of the faithful loving relationship that he and his father had together. Most likely if that would ever actually happen where I was in the actual situation of contemplating if I would faithfully out of love truly go through death for another. Although I do not know the answer most likely I wouldn’t be able to successfully go through with the actions as much as we speak it in our hearts saying the statement that I’d die to save you or I’d die for you if I had to. If I ever came to that actual situation I don’t know if I could go through that, however God knew that his son was that Jesus would be obedient out of faithfulness and love to his father. In this saving us all as sinners. Would you be able to make that ultimate sacrifice for now or even a multitude of people out of love to save them? Most would answer this question no which is expected and only God new that which is why he chose his Son and sacrificed something so precious to him for the love of his other children. Only his sacrifice could cleanse us making us pure and whole. That is the kind of live Jesus had in him and in his father and for us. That is the kind of loving father God is. That would be the hardest thing anyone but Jesus could ever do and go through with.

The Way To The Father In Jesus

Do not be worried and upset,” Jesus told them. “Believe in God and believe also in me.

There are many rooms in my Father’s house, and I am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if it were not so.

And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am

You know the way that leads to the place where I am going.”

Do not fear or worry Jesus had said

Believe in God and have faith in he and in I

for there are many rooms in my father’s house

I shall prepare a chamber for you

I would not say this if it were not to be

I shall come and return to take you there myself so that you will be there where I am

You know the way that leads to the place where I shall go

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going; so how can we know the way to get there?”

Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me.

Now that you have known me,” he said to them, “you will know my Father also, and from now on you do know him and you have seen him.”

Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father; that is all we need.”

Jesus answered, “For a long time I have been with you all; yet you do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. Why, then, do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Do you not believe, Philip, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I have spoken to you,” Jesus said to his disciples, “do not come from me. The Father, who remains in me, does his own work.

Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. If not, believe because of the things I do.

I am telling you the truth: those who believe in me will do what I do—yes, they will do even greater things, because I am going to the Father.

And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son. 14If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.

If you love me, you will obey my commandments.

I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Accomplice, who will stay with you forever. 17He is the that I’m Spirit the holy spirit, who reveals the truth about God. The world cannot receive him, because it cannot see him or know him. But you know him, because he remains with you and is in you.

When I go, you will not be left all alone; I will come back to you. O will not orphan or abandon you

In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will see me; and because I live, you also will live.

When that day comes, you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me, just as I am in you.

“Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. My Father will love those who love me; I too will love them and reveal myself to them.”

Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “Lord, how can it be that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and my Father and I will come to them and live with them.

Those who do not love me do not obey my teaching. And the teaching you have heard is not mine, but comes from the Father, who sent me.

I have told you this while I am still with you.

The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.

“Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid.

You heard me say to you, ‘I am leaving, but I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father; for he is greater than I.

I have told you this now before it all happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.

I cannot talk with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,

but the world must know that I love the Father; that is why I do everything as he commands me.

“Come, let us go from this place.

The Light Of God’s Glory

Hebrews 1:3 New King James Version (NKJV)

3

who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

The son of God is the light of God’s glory and an exact image of who he is. Strengthening and supporting all things by his promises written in his word. When he cleansed and purified is from our sins he sat down at the right hand of the father above.

Jesus the son of man is the light of his father in the exact image of God, upholding all things by the word of his power when he himself had purges us of our sins and took favor and honor in the presence of the almighty God in heaven.

Seek The Lord

Prepare for the return of Jesus by following His instruction.

“Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger” Zephaniah 2:3

Seek the Lord, all who are humble and true in Christ that follow his commands.

Seek to do what is right

    and to live humbly. Living in and by truth.

Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you—

    He shall protect you from his anger on that day of destruction. The day of his return. Be ready or he will leave you behind.

Safe In The Son

For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Romans 5:10 NKJV

we where once gods enemies but he made us his friends through the death of his son on the cross and now that we are gods friends much more will we be saved by christ
For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. Imagine how much more good would come out of life in his son.

In Faith I Wait

Psalm 130:5 New King James Version (NKJV)

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.

The lord promised his return one day and in that we can have comfort. Till then psalm 130 verse 5 says
I wait for the lord, my soul waits,and in his word I do hope.
Otherwise saying I have faith in the knowledge knowing of his words that I shall wait for him, as with my whole being to wait and in his word he has written and that of what he has said I put my hope.
As believers we have knowledge knowing of his return and the gift of everlasting life in faith with Christ that we look generously forward to the day of his return and the promise of being with him in this we have our whole self in faith waiting.

Acceptance Of Truth

1 Corinthians 5:11
But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

you should not associate with a person who calls himself a believer but is immoral or greedy or worships idols or is a slanderer or a drunkard or a thief. This is the kind of person whom is a hypocrite and unyoked person the Lord says don’t even sit down to eat with such a person.

Romans 11:15
For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

For when they were rejected, all other people were changed from God’s enemies into his friends. What will it be, then, when they are accepted? It will be life for the dead! To be saved and born again in Christ

1 Timothy 1:15
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

This is a true saying, to be completely accepted and believed: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I am the worst of them
He came into the world to be accepted by a small group of friends and followers(his deciples) to teach them his views and to die for all mankind’s sins. To save you and I. As Paul states he is worst of them

God Our Protector


Psalm 91 New Living Translation (NLT)
Psalm 91

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
    will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Saying in other words Those whom acknowledge him will live in that of the highest among us Christ Jesus and will find safety in his shadow Whoever goes to the Lord for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty,


This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
    he is my God, and I trust him.

For He is refuge to my soul he is my safe place he is my father God and in whom I shall always trust can say to him,
“You are my defender and protector.
You are my God; in you I trust.”


For he will rescue you from every trap
    and protect you from deadly disease.

As believers he will rescue you from evil around you and keep you in protection from plagues and deadly disease He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers
and from all deadly diseases.


He will cover you with his feathers.
    He will shelter you with his wings.
    His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

He will protect you by his angels surrounding you in their wings always keeping his promises for the are your armor of protection


Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
    nor the arrow that flies in the day.

Do not fear the shadows of evil or the attacks in the light for he is your protection He will cover you with his wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you. You need not fear any dangers at night
or sudden attacks during the day


Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
    nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Do not fear disease and plagues or any tragedy and disaster of a new day or the plagues that strike in the dark
or the evils that kill in daylight.

Though a thousand fall at your side,
    though ten thousand are dying around you,
    these evils will not touch you.
Though so many are falling and dieing around you remain in knowledge that you are protected and saved throughout it all A thousand may fall dead beside you, ten thousand all around you, but you will not be harmed.


Just open your eyes,
    and see how the wicked are punished.

You will look and see how the wicked are punished.


If you make the Lord your refuge,
    if you make the Most High your shelter,

You have made the Lord your defender,
the Most High your protector,

10 
no evil will conquer you;
    no plague will come near your home.

and so no disaster will strike you,
no violence will come near your home.

11 
For he will order his angels
    to protect you wherever you go.

For my refuge is in him and he promises to protect me and keep me safe from all harm God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go.

12 
They will hold you up with their hands
    so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

They will hold you up with their hands
to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.

13 
You will trample upon lions and cobras;
    you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

You will trample down lions and snakes,
fierce lions and poisonous snakes. He will take down all evil and evil doings around us no matter what it is
14 
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
    I will protect those who trust in my name.

God says, “I will save those who love me
and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord.

15 
When they call on me, I will answer;
    I will be with them in trouble.
    I will rescue and honor them.

When they call to me, I will answer them;
when they are in trouble, I will be with them.
I will rescue them and honor them.

16 
I will reward them with a long life
    and give them my salvation.”

The lord just wants a relationship with you and you with him to keep a covenant between the both of you bound together to eternity and eternal life in faith in him He will reward them with long life;
and will save them.”

God Our Strength

Isaiah 40:31 New King James Version (NKJV)

31 

But those who wait on the Lord

Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.

But those believe in God’s word and meditate on it and wait in excitement and anticipation for the Lord that they shall be renewed in strength and new birth living once again

They shall rid themselves of old habits and take to flight and soar like on eagles wings

They shall go forth in joy and exuberance and not become weak or weary as Jesus is at their side

They shall walk in faith and not faint for the Lord God will hold them strong

The lord is our strength and beginning in new life he walks a along side us even when we falter and stray in sin. Believers wait eagerly for Christ’s return as he had promised at death on the cross. He brings us to salvation through his death upon the cross and gives us new lives of no sin and renewals that we may rise above ourselves once again.That we move forward in faith and building of a relationship with him knowing that we are safe and not grow tired and worn within ourselves from the sin of the world and of life that we know we are safe to walk along with him in faith and not fall sick or faint that we shall remain in a new life like a newborn baby just into the world for he has given us new life in him.

In God’s Time

Isaiah 49:8-9

“In an acceptable time I have heard You,

And in the day of salvation I have helped You;

I will preserve You and give You

As a covenant to the people,

To restore the earth,

To cause them to inherit the desolate heritages;

That You may say to the prisoners, ‘Go forth,’

To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’

Isaiah 49:8-9 speaks about how when the time comes for us to be saved in the time of his return that those who are ready and go forth with him in the time will be fervent in prayer and studies in God’s word he will hear all the prayers of the people of the land will show us favor and hear the series of help. He will guide us and protect us since we have shown we are accepting of him. He will build a covenant and promise to keep us safe from plagues and disease. That he will restore the land back so that they again may settle in it once again so that we are no longer held in fear and prisoners of the dark and evil of the land and again we remain in the light of good setting us free those who were in the dark will come out into the light and go forth to be free. They will become like sheep who graze upon the land and hills.
