"Five Steps that Lead to True Righteous Justice"


“Five Steps that Lead to True Righteous Justice”

 

Submit yourselves, then, to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  Come near to God and He will come near to you.  Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.       James 4:7-8

 

In order for a TRUE BELIEVER to obtain TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS there are five steps for them to take, and apply to their life.  First, they are to SUBMIT themselves to God, SUBMIT means to be OBEDIENT to God, or to GIVE UP to Him.

 

 So the first step is their OBEDIENCE to God.  The second thing they NEED to do is to RESIST the devil.  RESIST means to KEEP FROM, FEND OFF, or to WITHSTAND.  So they are NOT to ALLOW the devil to influence them in ANY WAY, but to REJECT his presence and his influence.  In order to do that, they MUST rely on the WORK of the Holy Spirit, which is indwelling them.

 

The third thing is for them to COME NEAR to God, because when they draw NEAR to Him, then He will DRAW NEAR to them.  When they COME NEAR to God, their FAITH is STRENGTHENED, and they are REFRESHED, RENEWED and RESTRENGTHENED.  In order for them to RESIST the devil and to turn away from any temptations that would hinder their calling.

 

The fourth thing is their CLEANSING. “Wash your hands, you sinners.”  This was a CLEANSING ritual for the Jews, and a VERY IMPORTANT PART of their ceremonial purification process.  And the CLEANSING of the HEART, for the TRUE BELIEVER, is accomplished by the CONFESSION and FORGIVENESS of their sins.  They NEED to make sure they have received CLEANSING, before they come into the presence of the ALMIGHTY GOD, because they are SINNERS, by nature, FORGIVEN, but still SINNERS. 

 

The fifth and final step is to PURIFY their HEART.  They do this by coming to God with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESSING their sins to Him and seeking His FORGIVENESS, because they are SINFUL and DOUBLE-MINDED.  Then they can receive TRUE RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE and possess TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS before the Lord God Almighty. 

 

Have you come to God with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART?  You NEED to, in order to receive TRUE RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE and to possess TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS before God.  And to have the HOPE of Heaven for ALL of ETERNITY.  If you don’t you will spend ALL of ETERNITY in the place of UNENDING torment, torture, pain, heartache, agony, and despair without ANY WAY of ESCAPE.  You MUST come to God with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESSING your sins to Him and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION and receive TRUE RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE, and possess TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS with God, and spend your ETERNITY in Heaven.  Do it NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
