Fulfulling Our Duty to God: By Repentance from Dead Works

"Even now," declares the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." Rend (tear) your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

Who knows? He may turn and have pity and leave behind a blessing-- grain offerings and drink offerings for the LORD your God.

Joel 2:12-14 NIV

_______________

But when I say to the wicked, "You will surely die,' and he turns from his sin and practices justice and righteousness, if a wicked man restores a pledge, pays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the statutes which ensure life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die.

None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced justice and righteousness; he shall surely live.

Ezekiel 33:14-16 NASB

_______________

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of
our faith; the only faith that saves is faith in Him.



Now we see how God does make us acceptable to him.

The Law and the Prophets tell how we become acceptable,
and it isn't by obeying the Law of Moses.

God treats everyone alike. He accepts people only because
they have faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:21,22 NLT

_______________

I chose you to bring justice,
and I am here at your side.
I selected and sent you to bring light
and my promise of hope
to the nations.

You will give sight
to the blind;
you will set prisoners free
from dark dungeons.

Isaiah 42:6,7 CEV
