Zero Tolerance
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
The Do-Over
We must all appear before Christ in court so that each person can be paid back for the things that were done while in the body, whether they were good or bad.
Free at Last!
Instead, we are God's accomplishment, created in Christ Jesus to do good things. God planned for these good things to be the way that we live our lives.
Built to Last
God's work involves many different individuals with a variety of gifts and abilities. There are no superstars in this task, only team members performing their own spiritual roles.
Us in Justice
Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruits of their deeds. Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done. (Isaiah 3: 10,11)
The Guiding Light
Jesus is sending us an advocate, a counselor, a companion, a friend to stand by us, to guide and protect us. Somebody who has our best interest at heart.
