Grace is something that God The Father, His Son and The Holy Ghost arranged for us from the beginning. We fell from the presence of God and are in no way eligible to ever again be worthy of that presence. Only because God loves us did He send His Son to come to earth and pay the price of our evil ways.
Christ paid for our sin because He loves us. Only because Christ paid our debt will we ever be allowed to be in the presence of God.
No matter what we ever do on this earth we cannot be good enough, pure enough, or clean enough to be worthy to sit in the presence of God. Christ was and is pure enough, good enough and clean enough to sit in the presence of God, He is perfect, because of this He was able to pay our debt because He had no debt. Christ only is “Justified” and because He paid our debt we will be able to again be in the presence of Christ and we will forever be “debtors” to Him because He paid our debt.
At least that is how I see it. This is only doctrine according to me. I am nobody, but, I feel that I have as much right to decide what the Bible means in my life as anyone else does for their life. I don't begrudge anybody elses interpretations and claim no private interpretation. What I believe I am willing to share with anyone, I just don't believe I have any special authority to make my beliefs bind anyone else.
I love The Lord Jesus Christ and have felt His presence in my life and know He lives. I have met others and have seen this love in their lives, it is good. I can never say bad things about someone whom I know loves The Lord. This why I get so upset when I read of people bashing someone elses faith. If you can see and feel the love of Christ in another person you should be glad for it. This is what my tagline is all about.
However anyone comes to this realization I hope everyone gets there.
