I’ve met Jesus. The Biblical Jesus. I met Him not through a conference’s “encounter,” or when a preacher calls for an altar call, nor by a vision (which I believe is obsolete now because if I see vision now in the way of “revelation,” that would be outside the authority of the Scripture), nor being “slain in the Spirit” (which later I knew this is not really Biblical, but nearly to be a counterfeit of the enemy.) No. Those can only be exaggerations if I met Him in those ways.
I’ve met Jesus. I have met Him through the Scriptures. The moment I pound through HIS Word through correct interpretation with its context. It is illuminating. I met HIM when I understood the GOSPEL, the Biblical Gospel. It all makes the difference. I’ve heard about it for so long, but it is only these times that its power really illuminates my heart. It occurred to me that I was dead in my trespasses; therefore, I couldn’t save myself nor call GOD to keep me. In that case, I don’t even know if there’s a GOD because to be dead in sin is to be alienated from GOD. But because HE loved me first, and while I am still a sinner, HE died for me. He chose me. He saved me. Jesus saved me.
This is not just the saving of my natural sins but me being the “slave to sin” I was set free. He died in my place so I could be reunited with GOD, the FATHER, for HIS glory. I sinned against an infinite being from the line of Adam. That would mean I should have an eternal punishment, for the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL life through CHRIST JESUS. By the grace of GOD through CHRIST, I am justified. It is not by my good works, for my righteousness is like a filth rug before GOD. It is CHRIST’S righteousness in me. My sin has been imputed in HIM in exchange for HIS righteousness. Jesus lived a holy life all throughout he was alive, He was nailed on the cross and died, but HE rose again to break the chasm between us and the HOLY, HOLY, HOLY GOD.
He is the GREAT HIGH PRIEST, our mediator.
Through HIM, our sins are forgiven by Jesus and Jesus alone. The only WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.
He said I could come…
It’s more than I could ever ask. I wish I could articulate what I want to say… it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I found TRUTH by grace through faith. I have never been so sure about my salvation than these times…I have never discovered the beauty of this TRUTH not until I have learned the Biblical Gospel.
I wish everyone would discover its beauty, its power, and most importantly, its saving grace.
THE GOSPEL will always be enough. No more, no less.
I’ve met Jesus. The Biblical Jesus.
With that, I am eternally secured and now living in CORAM DEO. <3
all is grace. all is grace. praise be the name of the LORD.
SOLI DEO GLORIA!
grace be upon you.
