Like justice for the community.like what?
My post #135 was a "yes" to your question.i'm guessing you don't have any kids.
besides you still didn't answer the question...
Freedom from sin and "God as our northern star to go towards" is for those who believe that Jesus' atoning sacrifice saves from the just wrath of God on their sin.consider romans 8:15
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship And by him we cry, “Abba Father"
isn't that the whole idea of of being free of sin? having god be your northern star, the direction to go towards...but still you're not good enough.
Jeus says it is not for anyone else, "He who does not believe in me is condemned already." (Jn 3:18)
Those who believe in Jesus Christ are given the righteousness (goodness) of Christ.that is what i find so vile in this religion. you are never good enough.
There is no higher goodness. Their confidence is not in their own goodness. Their conscience testifies that they are not righteous.
Their confidence is in the rightousness of Jesus Christ, which God accounts to them. There is no fear for those who believe in Jesus Christ.
There is freedom from the fear caused by one's personal imperfections.
The Bible says something better.surely god would know how we are wired in the sense that we depend on people to believe in us, we need to believe in ourselves. where does the bible say he believes in us (as any loving parent would with their own children) and knows we are capable of doing the right thing....NO WHERE.
Because we are not capable of always doing the right thing, God counts the righteousness of Jesus Christ as belonging to those who believe in him.
How good is that?
