The scriptures speak all about Christ

1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:9 

And I have provided a permanent homeland for my people Israel, a secure place where they will never be disturbed. It will be their own land where wicked nations won't oppress them as they did in the past,


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:10

 from the time I appointed judges to rule my people. And I will subdue all your enemies. " 'And now I declare that the Lord will build a house for you—a dynasty of kings!


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:11 

For when you die, I will raise up one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:12 

He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for me. And I will establish his throne forever.


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:13

 I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my unfailing love from him as I took it from Saul, who ruled before you.


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:14

 I will establish him over my dynasty and my kingdom for all time, and his throne will be secure forever.' "


Now, lets us come to understand the verse 9

"And I have provided a permanent homeland for my people Israel, a secure place where they will never be disturbed. It will be their own land where wicked nations won't oppress them as they did in the past,"


Note that Israel was not conquered or looking for a land at this moment. David was the king. This should lead to the next question,  "𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙙?"


Look at Colossians 1


𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 1:21 

This includes you who were once so far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions,


𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 1:22 

yet now he has brought you back as his friends. He has done this through his death on the cross in his own human body. As a result, he has brought you 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙, and 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙃𝙞𝙢, 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩. 


𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲


Now the next question would be "𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙?"


Lets go further into Colossians 


𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 2:9 

For in Christ the fullness of God lives in a human body,


𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁. 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:12 

He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for me. And I will establish his throne forever.


Lets look at John 2 vs 19-22


𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:19 

"All right," Jesus replied. " Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. "


𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:20 "What!" they exclaimed. "It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can do it in three days?"


𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:21But by "this temple," Jesus meant his body.


𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:22 After he was raised from the dead, the disciples remembered that he had said this. And they believed both Jesus and the Scriptures.


Now, the Temple is where the prescence or the fullness of God dwells in. Look at Colossians 


𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 1:19 For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ,

𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 2:9 For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.


𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱. 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲. 


𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 2:10 

and you are complete through your union with Christ. He is the Lord over every ruler and authority in the universe.


Through the finished work of Jesus,  we have one with Christ. Hence the verse, as Apolstle Paul said


1 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 3:16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?


𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁, 𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱


𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗱!

Justification by Faith

  𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰: Justified by Faith 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁: Romans 5 vs 1  "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"     Justification, in context with the verse above, means to be absolved (to set free, release ) and declared free of blame or sin.     Through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, all those who believe in him are justified or set free of sin. Romans 4:25  "Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God]."     𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 "𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧"? By Faith     Romans 4:24  "But [they were written] for our sakes too. [Righteousness, standing acceptable to God] will be granted and credited to us also who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God, Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead," ...

      As Believers, we need to have a greater understanding of the gravity of God's sacrifice. If we'd actually look deeper into what happened on the cross, we would see that nothing ordinary occurred there. There would be much more value given to Jesus if we could understand what He's coming took and the changes it made.       In the Acts of the Apostles, when Peter encountered some Jews, he told them about Jesus..... "You rejected the man who was holy and innocent. You asked to have a murderer given to you, and you killed the source of life. But God brought him back to life, and we are witnesses to that." [Acts 3:14-15 (God's word)] Jesus coming to this Earth caused Him His very own life! To save you and I, He had to die.          It looks and sounds easier on paper right? Imagine being killed by the ones you came to save? That's how much it took from Him. However, the book of Hebrews says....."𝑯𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒚 𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅...

"For with God, nothing is impossible".

  "For with God, nothing is impossible". If it was possible for the sin of one man to make you a sinner, then it's not impossible for the righteousness of one man to make you righteous.   If it was possible for you to be doomed for Hell because of one man's sin, it's possible for you to be saved by one man's resurrection.     The Old man was of a sinful nature but the New creation man is of an Immortal, incorruptible and righteous nature.      Those who are born again are not born in or of the flesh but of the Spirit. There are not born of the Earthly but of the Heavenly. They are not born of Man but of God!   When you judge your nature by the understanding of the flesh, you misinterpret and misunderstand who you really are.     You are righteous. You are Holy. You are without blemish or spots. God is pleased with you. You are the Righteousness of God.   That's who you really are!   How did it all happen? "For with God, nothing...
