Justified
It is by grace we are justified.
As a person who writes about my thoughts on the nature of God quite often, most always accompanied by deep study, either from the near present or at some time in the past… this really hit me in an amazing way.
I feel that all people struggle to do and more often believe that they can do more than they think. Often doing less than we think that we are capable of.
Why?
We wish to be seen and held in honor by the highest good.
For some that is not the moral good that they wish to be held by, but nonetheless, they desire to be esteemed. Ergo…
Justified.
The worth that the justification of God brings is often out of focus, if it is even revealed in the first place, or sought for that matter.
The security that it brings to the mortal heart, and the peace that it brought me is without compare.
And it is freely given with any faithful pursuit of the face of the Father.
The justification of the soul that comes with his presence, and the impartation of his nature that comes along with holy union in his blessed love… there is nothing earthen that can even approach the joyous nature of it.
For the creator of all, justifying humanity through the blood of his Son, sufficient for all, frees the seeker of his face from the need and accompanying impossibility of proving themselves as worthy before him.
It is his own eternal, immortal, and incorruptible worth that he bestows freely in love for us who love him sincerely, active for the seeker, available for the one who is not yet.
This is a mystery to me, and mystical. How can the most holy impart the purity and worth of his own nature in place of our own?
Here is a bit of the secret. It is not that we are intrinsically worthless, and any and all that we do is tantamount to refuse.
It is that the worth and value of all things consists by the divine nature and will of the one who made them… intrinsically.
Divine value is not externally imparted unto the created. It is placed naturally but becomes ACTIVE in free will when free beings freely open their hearts to a relationship with him in respect to his call of holy love.
Many are called, few answer.
Few answer to the invitation to the wedding feast, but it is open to all.
To me there is not a secret special call in God, though I do believe for reasons known to him he perseveres with some more than others in his pursuit to reach them.
Perhaps that is based on the predicate of his divine foreknowledge of them relenting on this side of life.
I make no claims of knowing the secret counsel of the Most High, but I don’t think there is evil in considering what his holy thoughts may be, in order that we may glorify him and praise him in joy at the wonder of the ways of his holy love.
When approaching any subject pertaining to divinity it is indeed good to use reason in a ministerial fashion in order to teach and rightly understand the inspired Holy Scriptures, to elevate our reason to a place that decides the reason of an action of God beyond the what is revealed at least in principle in the scriptures, and to take the majesty for our own that is solely his… that is where there is danger.
To consider what is possible in discussion with the Holy Spirit within, and among other mature minds in the faith. I see no evil in this, for the heart that is open and surrendered in love with respect the rule and presence of the Holy Spirit, the one who guards against evil, and continually corrects it.
There is freedom and safety reasoning within God, and in seeking his wisdom.
Where holy sincerity is present… any question may be asked to the Father, and where no man may answer… he will.
We may consider any and all words, and still be within his justice, provided we respect the eternal fact that Christ Jesus is the eternal Word made manifest.
The author and the minister of our Faith.
The captain and architect of our justification before the Father, and our eternal defense against the false invalidation of the enemy.
The Father by the Son through the Holy Spirit is always and eternally seeking to reconcile the lost (all of humanity’s collective heart) unto the safety and love of his nature, and it is the powers and principalities of darkness as Saint Paul writes in Romans that seek to keep the sheep (mankind) away from this rest made available in Christ for All.
For his sacrifice to be effective it must be for all, for the justification of the value of all, regardless if they are lost against his love or not…
It is God alone through the saving finished work of his Son that Justifies.
It is his finished work that returns the worth of immortal light unto and ultimately into all of the earth by the Uncreated Light, the Holy Spirit herself.
