Do You Know Your Divine Rights?
WHY THE NEED FOR A Most people have no idea that God deals with mankind through a Divine legal system, but the bible reveals there is such a system. God's legal system ends in a trial which is called Judgment Day. For a trial to be held there has to be a breaking of the law or penal code. In God's system the penal code is the Ten Commandments, and just as there are penalties for breaking the human law, so there is a penalty for breaking God's laws. Prison is the place where human law breakers serve their sentence. "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” 1 John 3:4. As in human law, a sinner needs the best attorney possible to be represented before the Divine court. Remember, conviction of sin before the Divine court means eternal punishment - "For the wages of sin is death" Romans 6:23. The stakes before the Divine court are extremely high. "If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” 1 John 2:1. Jesus Christ is not only willing to defend you before the Divine court of law, but He loves you so much that on the cross He died and took the full penalty for all your sins. On the cross, He took all your sins: He shed His blood for you: Jesus Christ died in your place: Because of Jesus, you can be reconciled with God: In modern terms, Jesus Christ took the "rap" for your sin. Christ is the judge who loved you so much that He stepped down as judge to defend you. He is the Advocate who loves you so much that He offered Himself in your place. He became a felon for you: "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" 2 Corinthians 5:21. Before God's court of law, Christ has done everything for you. Now your part is to repent of sin and by an act of faith completely trust Jesus Christ as your Advocate. God will never violate your will and force you to receive Christ; however, nothing but faith in Christ as your Lord and Advocate will pardon you from the punishment of the Divine law. Do you understand? How To Exercise Your Divine Rights Right now you can exercise your Divine rights and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Advocate. If you realize you sinned and broken God's law and you need Jesus Christ as your Advocate, now is the time to come to God in prayer. God will accept everyone who calls upon Jesus Christ "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" Romans 10:13 With a simple prayer from your heart to God, you can be reconciled with God. A prayer such as this: God I confess that I have broken your law and sinned against you. I realize Jesus Christ shed His blood and died for my sins. I now repent of my sin and completely trust Jesus Christ as my Lord and Advocate. Because of Jesus, I'm reconciled to you and no longer face separation from you in hell. Thank you for loving me and sending Jesus as my Lord and Advocate. |
