John 5:22-30 KJV
(22) For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all
judgment unto the Son:
(23) That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the
Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father
which hath sent him.
(24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not
come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
(25) Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they
that hear shall live.
(26) For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the
Son to have life in himself;
(27) And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.
(28) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that
are in the graves shall hear his voice,
(29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.
(30) I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of
the Father which hath sent me.
The whole concept of righteousness, sanctification and
Justification is summoned up in the concept of faith. Faith making
one righteous through belief, cleansing anyone that believes
through faith, and justifying us as children of God. One might ask if
all three concepts are conceived in the Old Testament and taught
by God, then what the purpose of Christ. Christ came not to judge
the world but to bring the continual message of salvation through
faith. For God so loved the world John 3: 16 said and it goes on
to say “that whosoever believeth” Whoever believed that Jesus
was sent, believed he came, believed he would be. The continual
circle of faith in Jesus through simple belief in God, belief in what
God said. It is for all that will surrender to God’s word, and not
only to His word but to God.
Faith is extreme term some might think for salvation, yet one has
to ask do you want those that have no confidence in your ability
around you twenty four seven. I think when I was first married and
I got my toes burnt from hot grease. My poor husband was EMT
and I did not want him to help me. In truth it was reaction to pain.
He did not cause it he was trying to help ease the pain. Yet that
all God is trying to do is ease the pain of our guilt, to allow us to
know He loves us and as the solution for that pain of guilt and sin.
You do not have to carry the guilt of sin forever with you if you
only confess it.
The healing truth of John Gospel speaks of Jesus being the Word
of God and to believe in God one also needs to believe in Jesus,
not just as the Word but also as everlasting Father, the Mighty
God, the Everlasting Lord, and the Prince of peace. God gave his
authority to His Son, meaning he obeys His word as well. Meaning
His word is official rules and regulations. The official rules of
regulations with a code of mercy and grace. Jesus said a day was
coming of a judgment of the graves opening. Everyone ignores the
fact in Matthew 27 the graves opened, but it spoken of in Matthew
Gospel. Why then if the word is true do we ignore it. Because
many do not understand this book was not written in a day, but
over a period of time from as early as Adam’s generation. Can we
ignore history, to not help us to define our own faith. For God’s
rules never change and always will be.
Dear Heavenly Father may we seek your word and truth about
who You and Your Son Is. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
