Dear Pro-Family People:
"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion." (Proverbs 28:1)
I had said "There is so much cowardice."
But what is the solution? What is the antidote?
RIGHTEOUSNESS!
How do people get bold? They need to receive -- and KEEP RECEIVING--God's gift of righteousness:
"For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:17)
That word receive" is continuous and ongoing in the original Greek.
Christians need to understand that we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21)
All of you need to really warm heart and mind with this fantastic Gospel reality:
"38Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." (Acts 13:38-39)
Because of what Christ Jesus did at the Cross, you can rest assured by believing on Him that you will never be punished for your sins. Ever. All sins have been put away, paid for FOREVER (Isaiah 54:9; 1 John 2:1-2).
This is the very message which churches should be sharing around the world. The churches are in retreat because they do not TREAT themselves to the gift of righteousness.
"In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression (This word in the Original Hebrew speaks of POLITICAL Tyranny); for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
...
"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." (Isaiah 54:14,17)
