Benefits For God’s People, 79

 

~ You Have The Righteousness Of God ~

 

Series Information ~ The Bible is full of promises to those who have trusted in God as their only true source of salvation.  Most of the 100+ posts in this series are exclusively for God’s family.  These postings are far from an exhaustive list!  It is important to realize you are not a member of God’s family unless you have made a specific intentional decision to trust Jesus Christ as your savior.  If you have not done that or are not sure if you have then I suggest you settle it today. Here is a good website which will help you: https://www.focusonthefamily.com/faith/what-must-i-do-to-be-saved/ 

 

Series Theme Scripture ~ “For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes [answer] in Him [Christ].  For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him [in His Person and by His agency] to the glory of God” (2 Corinthians1:20 amp).

 

This Post Scripture ~ But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, ²² even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; ²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ²⁴ being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, ²⁶ to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. (Romans 3:21-16)

Ten, 40

 

~ Ten Horns, 7 ~

 

Introduction ~ This series is about portions of Scripture which specifically mention ten (10) items. (I am aware that there are those in my readership who are into Biblical numerology.) All Scripture is from the New American Standard (Updated) unless otherwise specified (emphasis added). The Scripture below is one of many passages which specifically mention ten of something.

 

Scripture ~ “And the angel said to me, ‘Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns’” (Revelation 17:7).

 

Numerology ~ Scripture numerologists often refer to the number ten as referring to as fullness or completeness. Following is one explanation:

 

“In connection with five, and as very near akin to it in meaning, we may take ten.  It is but five times two, as I have already said.  The ten fingers and toes are plainly so, and they give us respectively man’s capacity for action and competence for an upright walk.  But the measure of capacity is that of responsibility, and the measure of responsibility is that of judgment or of reward.  Thus ten plagues fell upon Egypt.

 

“The Ten Commandments are on the two tables of testimony, the measure, on the divine side, of man’s responsibility.

 

“In the kingdom of the ten tribes …

 

“The ten toes of the image in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision enable the feet to stand firm – are what answer to the ten horns upon the fourth beast in that of the prophet – again the measure of power.

 

“In the ten virgins of the parable, responsibility is enforced; and here they are five wise, five foolish.  The testimony here is that of the bridegroom’s return.

 

“Finally, in the tithe demanded by God in Israel, we have the whole (of whatever it might be) looked at as composed of ten parts, the measure of responsibility, of which God takes one in token of His sovereignty.” –F.W. Grant
