What a “just man” is according to the New Testament?

A just man is a man who has stopped all rebellion against God. Every sin is forgiven and the heart of a just man is made holy. A just man is without sin and obedient to God. In a state of justification there is no condemnation from God because sin and disobedience is gone. The heart and life is made right because of what Christ did for you at Calvary. Your righteousness comes from the work of Christ not from your own human works. The conscience of a just man is freed from guilt by the power of a living Christ. The heart, the walk, and the life of a justified believer is in harmony with God through faith in Christ. Faith in Christ gives man access to the Grace of God that makes man a new creation and justifies the sinner….according to God’s workmanship. A justified man is no longer a criminal in the eyes of God (unless he commits another crime).

In Justification by Grace the believer’s sin and rebellion against God has ceased. A believer is not a lawbreaker. No longer does man violate God’s Law. The Holy spirit gives a just man the desire to cease from sin. The Holy Spirit gives the just man a new nature. A moral change comes over the human soul by the power of God’s Divine Grace. A just man was tired of the old life in repentance. Then Grace comes in and a just man now has realization that only Christ offers this “new and better” life. A justified state by God’s Grace could not be found or obtained by any other means known to man outside of Christ.

Some may find it hard to believe but sin is not essential to the life of a child of God nor does the Bible condone sin. Holiness of heart is the sacred theme of the Bible and is found in Christ. Holiness is essential to the life of a child of God. Rebellion does fit into the life of a child of God and separates man from God’s Grace. Disobedience is not a product of God’s Grace but a sin of unbelief.

A justified life is the down payment to a life with Christ. After Justification, the Spirit of God can can take full possession of you. When you find forgiveness and true holiness that comes from a state of Justification by Grace… Then, you can also find deliverance from the Adamic life that still wars in your members. The Adamic life (self) not the act of sin but the very root of sin that tries to have dominion in your justified life…God can rid man of that also. How? By Sanctification that also comes from the Grace of God.

Justification is the down payment of the Spirit’s work in Salvation. Sanctification is the final work of Holy Spirit (after Justification)on this side of Heaven. A just man is a man who has stopped all rebellion against God. Every sin is forgiven and the heart of a just man is made holy. A just man is without sin and obedient to God. God is a justifier of men but when men are justified they’re supposed to walk according to the Law of the Spirit in Christ Jesus. A justified man is not a lawbreaker or a violator. A justified man has God given power to “mind the Spirit”.

The Gospels were teachings under the Law of Moses...Hubert T. Lindsey

In this modern era and modern religious world it is hard to find any one who teaches the truth of the four Gospels as a teaching primarily under the Law of Moses. At this Blog dedicated to rightly dividing God's Word we focus on these great Bible Truth. Brother Lindsey does a great job clarifying such teachings.

Capital Punishment according to the Bible

Capital Punishment is ordained of God and Scripturally in line. The Law of Moses demanded capital punishment. Capital Punishment is also taught in the New Testament records.

We are the body of Christ

At the passover supper Jesus took the unleavened bread, blessed it, broke it and then gave it...and said this is my body.

Since then, as we are the body of Christ.
Jesus takes us in His arms when He saves us...
He blesses us with His Holy Spirit...
He breaks us when we get to the cross and believe...
He gives us for the work of the ministry...

The descension of Christ…to the lower parts of the Earth

Eph 4:9-10…(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended

Love for fallen man is why Christ came down from His Heavenly position to become a mere man. God intended for Christ to become a man with flesh and blood like you and I. In God’s plan of redemption for fallen man Christ descended to earth and stepped down from His Heavenly Throne in Eternity. Jesus stepped out His Eternal mansion above, and by the Spirit was conceived in a virgin, and born of a woman during the Law of Moses. In conception He was born of Mary in Bethlehem where and for 33 years he encountered the worst conditions any human being could encounter in life. When Jesus descended…

1. He was born in a barren land
2. He was born to an enslaved people (Israel)
3. He was born in a manger
4. He caught a fish to pay taxes
5. He was a man of no reputation (33 yrs.)
6. He lived a lonesome life
7. He was a man of sorrow
8. His Apostles forsook Him at the trial
9. He died alone at Calvary
10. The father turned His back on Him when He hung on the cross
11. He died as a criminal
12. He died as a slave
13. He died a hideous death of crucifixion

Eph 4:9-10…(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended

This descension…where God was clothed with humanity is termed as “kenosis” in the Greek Text. Many pagan and heathen nations did not recognize Christ as being a man. They had to believe He was God because of the miracles He did…but back then they denied his humanity. Today they humanize Him and denounce His deity. The Gnostics denied the humanity of Christ and twisted the concept that God took upon Himself human flesh. In the death of the Saviour on the cross we read these words in the Bible, “It pleased the Father to bruise Him”…In Christ’s descension we see “love for humanity” and “love for fallen man”…The Romans were not the blame for killing Him…The Jews were not the blame for killing Him…Isaiah the Prophet said, “It pleased the Lord to bruise Him”…

Sin Rules Them

This small segment from an Original Churches on Trial radio braodcast magnifies Christ in the highest. Brother Lindsey describes how sin rules a weak man and the Spirit rules a strong man. Profound teaching!
