The Law Fulfilled

Psa 143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

We can see here that the law actually condemns men because we are all sinners. The law can justify no man. ( Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ) We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. In a sense, none of us perfect as God is perfect. We mess up a lot and we do things sometimes we don't really want to do. We stumble along the way and are in need of help from God.

Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

The falling short of the law was taken care of when Jesus was sent to be a sacrifice for our sins. Jesus took on the form of sin and was condemned as sin. There is no other sacrifice worthy to redeem man from sins. Jesus is the only way to God. So how is the law fulfilled?

Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Jesus said He come to fulfill the law not destroy it. How does Jesus fulfill the law? The law falls short in the fact that there is no mercy provided. The law states that if you sin you die. This is what the law says. Jesus came to give mercy to all that have "broken the law". There is not a man or woman alive that Jesus will not show mercy to if they will repent and ask for forgiveness with a sincere heart.

Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Rom 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

If we are faithful to confess our sins, God is just to forgive our sins. We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ. We are saved by grace through faith not works. Many do works and think they're going to make it to heaven. Why do so many fail to receive this great gift of God? Many are so full of pride that they would rather die and be tormented forever than to come to God and say, " I have sinned and need your forgiveness."

Some think God will refuse to forgive them. Others turn a deaf ear to God's Word, . Which category do you fall under? Some scoff at the Word of God and mock all who believe that Jesus is real and true. God Word tells us about them also, ( 2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: )

Now the question I ask is this. Why do you refuse to accept so great a salvation? The work has been done already except for the decision that you have to make. Would you allow satan to completely destroy you?

Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

The end is coming whether you're ready or not. God has provided all that we need to find salvation through Christ Jesus. Make the decision right now to give your heart to Him and be saved. I promise if you ask Him to forgive you with a sincere heart He will forgive you for all your sins. He will set your feet on a solid rock. The burden you carry right now will be lifted. The angels of heaven will rejoice also. The Lord knocks on the door to your heart calling your name. He waits for you to open the door and allow Him to come in.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

I stand at your door knocking. I wait for you to open the door. I want to come in and eat with you and you can eat with me. This is what the scripture means. YOU must open the door.

Prayer

Father I thank you for the Word you have given me. It is my prayer that the lost come to you and ask for forgiveness and receive the mercy that Jesus brought with Him. Touch all who read this, Lord in Jesus precious and mighty name, AMEN.
