“The works of His hands are verity and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
They stand fast forever and ever,
And are done in truth and uprightness.
He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
Holy and awesome is His name.” Psalm 111:7-9
The works of God are built on truth and justice. His Word is eternal and will last forever. God is perfect and He never changes. You can trust God. He will never lead you astray.
God is the only one who can determine justice. He has the ability to look at any situation and determine right from wrong. This is because He looks at the hearts of all people and can make a judgment that upholds His laws.
God told the Israelites they would be a special treasure to Him above all people if they would obey His voice and keep His covenants. This is a powerful promise and it covers you as a descendant of Abraham.
God has made a covenant with you. It is your responsibility to listen to the voice of God and be obedient to His leading. God is a Spirit and we must worship Him in Spirit and Truth. Learn to be still and listen for the voice of God.
You can’t keep His covenants on your own. No human being has ever been able to do this. But this doesn’t mean you are not obliged by God to keep His laws.
God loves righteousness and has provided a better method for you to keep His covenants. He sent Jesus, His Son, to the earth to die for you. This act of mercy on the part of God gives you the gift of eternal life and places His Spirit to live inside you. This allows you to have His laws written on your heart. So you don’t have to look at a list of “no no’s” printed in the Bible and try to comply with them. You look inside yourself. This is where the Spirit of God lives and He will guide you down a path of righteousness.
The righteousness of God is not given to you based on complying with any laws. Abraham believed God and it was credited to Him as righteousness. Think about it this way; there is no action you can take to receive the righteousness of God. It is a gift that comes to you by faith. Your unwavering faith and dependence on God for all your needs will bring His virtue and purity into your life.
The secret is to be yoked with God through His Spirit. This will give you oneness with God and lead you to doing the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.
God wants to give you a good life and fulfill the desires of your heart. He’s not looking for followers of religion. He’s looking for genuine people who are serious about making Him the priority of their life. If you seek Him out, He will reward you abundantly.
Your responsibility is to commit each day to God, pray, spend some time reading the Word, and walk by faith trusting God to meet all your needs.
