This informative SEO excerpt discusses the reality of “taking up the cross” in Christ and how it is often misunderstood as a burden and demand on Christians. The excerpt emphasizes that the reality established in Christ is that “I was crucified with Christ,” and it is through this understanding that we can find freedom and assurance in our relationship with Him. It also warns against those who try to make the Gospel about us and bring us into bondage. The ultimate freedom is to be “dead with Christ,” where we are no longer about ourselves but about Christ living through us. By recognizing our old self being crucified with Christ, we can live in the freedom of His resurrection power. The keywords for this excerpt are assurance of salvation, Christ, Christian freedom, Freedom in Christ, gospel, and grace.

What is Satan’s accusation toward God?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By

Learn about the blessedness of salvation and how it refers to the state of being forgiven and having righteousness imputed to a person without works. This blessedness leads to heirship, as believers are granted to be heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Sin cannot keep a justified person from the blessings of God, and the blessing of forgiveness qualifies believers to become heirs. According to Romans 3:26, the blessing of forgiveness also qualifies God to make believers heirs, so that He may be “just and the justifier of Him who believes in Jesus.” If you are seeking assurance of salvation, look no further than the grace of God, who justifies and forgives those who believe in Jesus. Keywords include assurance of salvation, grace, justification, righteousness, forgiveness, and inheritance.

What is the Galatian error?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By

Learn about the Galatian Error in Christianity, which refers to a mixture of law and grace that emphasizes obedience to the law rather than trusting in Christ’s righteousness and justification by faith. The book of Galatians serves as both a warning against legalism and a defense of justification by faith. Characteristics of “Galatianized” Christianity include an emphasis on following rules and a de-emphasis on trusting in Christ’s righteousness. Examples of “Galatianized” Christianity include tithing and being a disciple in the sense of the synoptic Gospels. It is important to understand the dangers of legalism and the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice for true freedom in Christ.

Why do most Christians have the impression that in some measure they can keep the law?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By

Learn about the purpose of the law and the reality of sin in the flesh to experience true freedom in Christ. Using the law as a “guide for Christian living” waters down its requirements. The Law was given as a diagnosis of man’s condition, not a recommendation for its cure. Legalistic teaching does not put the law in its proper context. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone, and it is through Him that we are made righteous, holy, and blameless in the sight of God. To stand before God with a clear conscience and experience the blessings available to justified and regenerated sons and heirs, we must maintain our faith in Christ.

How did the command “Thou shalt not covet” slay Paul?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By

Discover how the command “Thou Shalt Not Covet” slayed Paul and how his experience can teach us about the Christian life. Paul realized that his desire to serve God was rooted in covetousness, a desire for praise and standing before God in the flesh. This pursuit of the Law can blind and deceive modern-day legalists. Instead, the Christian life is a supernatural life that depends on Christ’s Life and His grace. Renewing the mind and pursuing discipleship are essential to experiencing this freedom in Christ.
