Declared Righteous

[Ross]

Titus 3;4-7 " But when the graciousness and affection of our Saviour God shone forth for man,
                   He saved us not by works we had done in righteousness BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY through means of a new  birth         
and the moulding anew of the Holy Spirit,
which He poured on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
in order that having been declared righteous by His grace we should be made inheritors of life age-abiding according to hope."

Beautiful declaration.

[Ross]

2 Tim 1;9,10 " Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling,
not according to our work but according to His peculiar purpose and grace,
which was given to us in Christ Jesus before age-during time,
but NOW has been made manifest through the means of the shining forth of our saviour Christ Jesus,
who has abolished death and has thrown light upon LIFE and incorruptibility through means of the gospel."

Another AMEN!

  :thumbsup: Amen!! And all this..  "the heart's cry of abba, Father, is the seal of the Spirit on our heart.. the down payment, pledge.." can't think of the right word! the seal like thumbprint seal on a scroll , on our heart.. The "guarantee that we are His and the promise that we shall receive all that He has promised.." ...And "His seal of ownership" :))

...and "He if faithful to finish what He has begun"! ..."The same Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead" (and parted the Red Sea) "is at work in us"!

1 John 3 Children of God
...8the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning.


The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.

9No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.


10By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious:


anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.

Luke 1 Mary Visits Elizabeth
...40and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.


41When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.


42And she cried out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!...


    the Words I speak to you  they are Life

John  6 ...62"What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?


63"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing;


the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.


64"But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him....
