HAPPY SABBATH + From Imputed To Imparted Righteousness!

The Blessing Of The Lord
It MAKES Man Rich
And
He Adds No Sorrow To It!

Impute Is To HAVING A Credit Card
What Impart Is To OWNING The Bank!

Keep Going!!

If I SAY That You Are A Christian
Does That Make You One?!

No! Of Course Not!

When Jesus Calls You A Christ-Follower
Does That Make You A Christ-Follower?!

Yes, Indeed It Does!

Why?!

Jesus Christ Cannot Lie!
You, A Man, Do!

Okay!
Let's Look At It From Another Direction:

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Central Bank!
You, A Believing Christian, Are A Neighborhood Bank!
Jesus Issues A Deposit Of Daily Faith To You

The Believing Christian Aka Neighborhood Bank!
You Have A Corporate Charge Card Marked 

Faith!

To Make Purchases IRL Aka In Real Life!

You Have/Experience A Need!
You Believe Your Deposit Is Available!
You, In Faith, Make A Purchase By Faith!
Life Goes On!
You Are/Have Been Blessed!

You, In Gratitude, Seek To Be A Blessing
Because
You Know ... Of A Surety

That Jesus Christ's Faith
Moves. Your. Mountains!

But ...

There Is A Problem For The Doubter:

Jesus Christ Says That He Is Giving Faith
That Is, Imputing
Letting You Have Access To His Righteousness!
Jesus Christ Then Invites You
To Invite The Holy Spirit Of Truth
- Who Will Work In You -
To Help You TAKE Of The Available Faith
Which Is Imparted
- Made Personally Available To You -
Which You May Freely
Constantly
Willfully
Wantonly Access
Confidently!

Moving From Faith To Righteousness
Is 

A Journey
Performed By A One-Step-At-A-Time Walk

But

Never, Not Ever, A Race!

Whoa!
I Believe That I've Gotten It!

Simply Put, Brethren
Faith Is The Coin
In The Purse Of Belief
Which Is Opened In Obedience
By The Willing Hand Of Trust

Aka

Jesus Christ Says He Is The Purse
Containing Our Wealth
Which
- Though Openly Available -
Is Only Accessible
To The One Who Chooses
To Believe
To Trust
To Obey
To Act
To Receive
To Live

And
To Grow
To Gain
Abundant Living ... Now

And 

Eternal Life ... Later!

We Must See That ...

The Very Real Difference Between
Imputed Righteousness 

And 

Imparted Righteousness
Is
Our Hope!
Our Faith!
Our Belief!
Our Love!
Our Obedience!
Our Trust!

If We Have The First Four
We'll Always Exercise The Last Two!

Let's Recap ...

Imputed Righteousness 

Is 

Jesus Christ Saying That 

He Is Giving Us His Righteousness
And
Our Having Faith To Trust Him At His Word!

Imparted Righteousness 

Is 

Our Believing That
Jesus Christ Delivers On His Word
And
Our Willingness To Give Over Self
And
Permitting Him To Have His Way In Our Lives
- Via The Agency Of The Holy Spirit -
To Make Us Righteous!

The Comforter Is Coming ...!

... The Comforter Is Coming Here ... To Me ...!

... The Comforter Is In Me!

I Am Comforted And Comfortable In Christ!

Exactly!

The Walk From Present Faith To ... Future Sight!

The Journey Is From Desiring 

To Acting
To Living ... On The Fact!

The Bottom Line ...

The Consequences Of The Lack Of Action
For The Unbelieving Distrustful Disobedient
Unfaithful Soul
Are Fatally And Eternally Grave

And

Just So That You'll Never Forget ...

Imputed Righteousness 

Is 

Our Title To Heaven!
Imparted Righteousness 

Is 

Our Fitness For Heaven
Aka 

Our Certificate Of Occupancy!

May The God Of All Grace

Help Us To Make Our Calling

And Election To Heaven ... Sure!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH - BEHOLDING: Changed!

I Beheld A Crochet Hook
AND
Knitting Needles A Pair
Next Thing I Knew
I Was Hooking And Knitting
In My Comfy, Comfy, Chair!

I Beheld A Sailor
AND
Before Long
Everyone I Knew
Knew
That I Was A-Swearing
Using A Vocabulary Askew
One That God's Faithful
Should Severely Eschew!

I Beheld A King James Bible
AND
Before Long
My Friends Knew
That I Was With Jesus
For Out Of My Mouth
The Sailor Language Flew
For
I Had Taken The Blood-Purchased Clue!

If One Fraternizes With Jack-Asses
Inevitably
One Will Bray!
If One Walks With The Devil
He Won't Want Jesus
Near His Fun Day
AND
From Salvation
He Will Determinedly Walk Away!

When We Walk With Jesus
- As In All Things -
We Become What We Behold
AND
As We Wittingly
Wilfully
Wonderingly
Wisely
Behold Our Master
We Become Fit Pillars
To Inhabit Glory
With The Father
The Spirit
AND
The King Of Glory
God's Son!

Let's Not Be Witless
Nor Worthless
Wasteful
Wrong-Headed
Vessels Unclean!
Let Us Draw Near
To The One
Who Gives Us Title
To Heaven Clear
AND
Let Us Esteem Him
With Love And Godly Fear!

Immerse Yourself In Good!
Don't Curse Yourself By Beholding Bad
For
It Is Appointed
Once
For Man To Die
AND
There Is No Do-Ever
No Matter What The Priestly Charlatans Cry!

Man-Money May Munchies Buy

But

Man-Money Cannot For Salvation Escry!
