Morality, Godliness And Acceptance By God by Hibeekayleb(m): 11:25pm On Dec 14, 2017 |
[img][/img] 1. Morality is the default righteous state of the fallen man (the good of the fallen man), it made accepting the law easier, for the gentiles who are without the law do by nature (default) things that are in the law. 2. But the gospel is not an expression of perfect morality, but rather a pathway unto godliness (being found in the image of God). 3. God is not a morally balance being, because morality is defined within the context of the human law which God is not subjected to. 4. God is not trying to make us a morally balanced human, he is trying to make us a Godly balanced human. 5. Does this say we should not be morally good? Nope, it only tells us that our morally balanced state does not mean that God approve us. Accepting the gospel is what makes God approve us. 6. Because acceptance of the gospel is the hope of godliness God sees in us. 7. Seeing beyond your morality will make you know how much you have demystify godliness, so that you can further proceed to the attainment of it at every opportunity you have. 8. Preaching is to unveil more of God's nature, it is not to draw out another code of ethics or law. Our fellowship with God in every service is to draw out his nature for us so that we can adopt it. 9. Preaching that is based of attainment of complete morality as defined by right and wrong is an error that often lead to piety rather than godliness. 10. To demystify God you must be ready to see beyond what the world (the system we arranged for ourselves after losing God's nature) calls right and wrong. 11. You'll follow it, but not with the mind of acceptance before God, but with the humility to want to begin from our default knowledge of good and evil so that the lord may show you his righteousness. 12. Righteousness is a cloak, an award of our walk with demystifying God, it is not a measure of moral standards. 13. The peak of righteousness we know and/as revealed by God is Christ. #calebibukun https://calebibukun..co.ke/2017/12/morality-godliness-and-acceptance-by-god.html?m=1
