For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God (2 Cor. 13:4).
This is the gospel that Paul gave his life to defend. He preached "Therefore it is of faith, that it might be according to grace" (Rom 4:16), to both the lost and the saved (Gal. 5:5).
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving (Col. 2:6-7).
His one bitterness was with brethren who were in Christ but recanted their sufficient faith; a tragic irony (Gal. 5:11-12). But I'm sold out. I want my stake in the earth to look like this.
"The Christological Symbol (Brazen Serpent Sculpture), created by Italian artist, Giovanni Fantoni, stands atop Mount Nebo. It is symbolic of the bronze serpent created by Moses in the wilderness (Numbers 21:4-9) and the cross upon which Jesus was crucified (John 3:14)."This is a picture of God's invitation to put on the offense of Christ.
It is the stone of stumbling for those wrestling with God's terms of faith alone (Rom. 9:33). It is the most powerful teaching in the world, because it proclaims our reality of life in God; righteousness is ours by faith in His Son and not from ourselves (1 Cor. 1:18). I forget to meditate on what "grace" really implies here and now in His Body. It implies that sinners can, without any merit, be imputed with Christ's righteousness.
If you, LORD, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared (Ps. 130:3-4).
If you, LORD, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared (Ps. 130:3-4).
At Calvary, evil was crucified (Heb. 10:14).
If we wave around the offense of Christ like a banner, we know that this world is struggling with believing it, and they quicken our sufferings. Their reproaches reflect a wrestling with God's grace. That's okay with me; if I no longer live, but Christ does, I "fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ" (Col. 1:24). And He told us this would happen (Phil. 1:29).

Galatians 5:11 says:
"And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased."
Great post Michele. I love the part about the brazen serpent...and Ps 130 was my favorite Psalm and prayer for many years...it was my prayer during my struggles and darkness. At times it was all I had to sustain me. I had to wait, but the morning finally came.
I'm glad you have your banner up.
******GOOD NEWS******
The CROSS is PROOF there is no longer a barrier between God and man!
That God was in Christ reconciling the WORLD to Himself, NOT IMPUTING THEIR TRESSPASSES TO THEM, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. (2 Cor 5:19) emphasis mine
Why?
Because Jesus took away the sin of the WORLD!
“Behold! The Lamb of God who TAKES AWAY the sin of the WORLD! (John 1:29b) emphasis mine
This is why EVERYONE is INVITED to take of the water of life FREELY!
And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!”
And let him who hears say, “Come!”
And let him who thirsts come.
WHOEVER DESIRES, LET HIM TAKE THE WATER of LIFE FREELY. (Rev 22:17) emphasis mine
Whoever who believes that Jesus is the Christ is BORN OF GOD. (1 John 5:1a) emphasis mine
Why?
Because there is life in that name!
And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that YOU may BELIEVE that JESUS is the CHRIST, the Son of God, and believing you may have life IN HIS NAME. (John 20:30,31) emphasis mine
Lets get out there and tell people the GOOD NEWS:)
Alvin :)
AMEN My dear Brothers!!
Michele,
AMEN to you too dear Sister!
You sing a good tune too Alvin!
Amen Michele:)
We are a Royal Priesthood and God has placed us right where we are. Our lives should be spontaneous letting the Spirit flow that people might see Christ in us. He is the One who makes the REAL difference. He meets us right where we are with warts and all and wants to make something beautiful. When He looks at us He sees Jesus and is completely satisfied because we are in Him and He is in us. All we need to do is get out of the way and let Him make a difference in our world:)
He is the One who wept when He saw Martha and Mary’s tears because He feels our pain even though He knew He was about to speak words of life to bring Lazarus forth. That is our God and He is coming back as a King~!
Till then let’s let Him shine forth in our world.
We have something everyone wants . . ."Certainty" and Jesus promise of life gives that (John 11:25-27) . . .Rejoice because your name is written in heaven:)
When you get a hold of that fact it's impossible to keep the joy in and that is where our spontaneity flows from Knowing we are children of God:)
Hi Alvin :)
I'm so glad you left that last comment. I'm re-reading and thinking that there's a good chance this is not clear, that I was intending to draw attention to sanctification and not justification. For there is an offense of Christ we put on in our identity, when we are baptized into Him. But I think there is a qualitative "putting on the offense" in living out our life by faith - which is really more interesting and volatile IMO. This is because even believers have an ingrained tendency to measure performance by law, and not by faith (grace).
Romans 11:6
"And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work."
Can't mix the stuff. As Dr. Bing teaches, wet isn't dry and dry isn't wet.
Hey Alvin, can you tell me whether I failed? Did you get that this post was supposed to be about sanctification?? Really liked this statement,
"All we need to do is get out of the way and let Him make a difference in our world:)" Amen to that!
Hopefully that means I didn't fail altogether....
:D Michele
Hi Gary :)
I think when I'm around, you n Alvin are busy, then I get busy and you guys are all ears.... Maybe it'll work right now....
Yeah, it seems to work like that doesn't it? We can't get on the same page. I'm still pretty busy lately...so I'm having to be more ears and less mouth. That would probably be a better general rule for me anyway...:)F
Hi Michele
My point was we can make ourselves an offense.
The cross carried specific connotations to the Jews it was a curse for anyone to be hung on a tree and for anyone to insinuate it was their Messiah was of great offence. They saw their Messiah as one who would return as a Reigning King and set up His kingdom in which they would participate. To say that they had crucified Him was as offensive as you can get.
In our everyday context that part of the offense is not there but we are a odor or reminder to those who reject Christ's offer as one of death not life.
alvin:)
I'm getting ready for work and will be taking your post with me to see if I missed something:)
And in another way the cross can be made a GREAT offense is by the consistant Calvinist because he makes the cross a sign of Favortism. That God didn't really love and make provision for everyone.

Hi Michele
You said:
Hey Alvin, can you tell me whether I failed? Did you get that this post was supposed to be about sanctification??
Yes Michele but that flows from Justification/Sanctification truth the Gospel which in Galatians is not only our position in Christ but our progressive sanctification. The Gospel has a broader meaning then just initial salvation. You eluded to this in your comment here His one bitterness was with brethren who were in Christ but recanted their sufficient faith; a tragic irony (Gal. 5:11-12). But I'm sold out. I want my stake in the earth to look like this.
Michele you contrasted yourself to the ones in Galatians.
What they recanted was the WAY of grace by the walk of faith by turning again to the Way of the law for progressive sanctification. The issue with them was how they were going about to be progressively sanctified by going back to the way of the law which can’t sanctify anyone but just condemn them. By going that way would be to fall from grace and bring to a holt Christ being formed in them (Gal 4:19). Not that they weren’t children of God because that takes place by a single act of faith in the saving proposition that they passed from death to life. And being that is how they entered into their new position in Christ was also the way they were to grow which is by the WAY of grace by the walk of faith.
Ok, so we don’t want to be like the Galatians who turned back to the way of the law for their progressive sanctification. Like you said we want to be sold out for Jesus. The way were able to do this is by the same way we were saved by faith so were operating in grace. If these Galatians would have kept the first part clear because that was the same way they were to progress in the Christian life they would have stayed on TRACK. Just like the ones that the Apostle John was reminding in his first epistle. He was telling them not to listen to those who were putting into question those FIRST THINGS that they had received (1 John 2:24,25) but to continue in them and then went on to remind them of the gift of everlasting life that Jesus had promised. That is the ONLY way they could stay in fellowship with God is by letting those FIRST THINGS abide in them : 1 John 2: 24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.
Michele that is how were ABLE to be sold out for Jesus is by staying on TRACK. If we don’t base our progressive sanctification on our position in Christ alone which we received by ONE act of faith then we will slip into the way of works to gain our assurance. Walking in those works that were prepared for us is fine as long as it’s in the WAY of grace which is walking by faith in who we already are in Christ (our position).
When we walk in this grace Christ is being formed in us automatically (2 Cor 3:18) BUT if we were to forget how we were first saved that would bring our progressive sanctification to a halt.
So no Michele you did not fail because that is how we should all want to be “sold out for Jesus” I’m just looking at the mechanics of that which keeps us operating in GRACE so we stay on TRACK and Christ is BEING FORMED IN US which is PROGRESSIVE and based upon who we ALREADY are IN CHRIST. It was that FIRST single act of faith that gave us our position in Christ and the walk of faith is based on our ABIDING in that truth and when we are doing that we are abiding in Christ which always bears fruit.
Alvin:)
Some thoughts on what our focus should be:)
Michele our focus can be on the cross as an offence and wear it around our necks to show the world OR our focus can be the cross as proof that Jesus HAS reconciled the world NOT counting their sins against them.
And as Ambassadors for Christ plead with them to be reconciled by simply believing in Jesus for His gift of life which can be taken freely.
Or we could use the cross to beat people over the head concerning their sins and command them to repent before they can take of the water freely. And walk proudly in the offence.
Calvinism makes the cross MORE of an offence then it is by doing the later.
Our focus will determine whether we are in the spirit of calling down fire from heaven OR the Spirit of reconciliation coming to seek and to save the lost.
To us the cross should be GOOD NEWS not an offence and that is how we want to present it to a lost and dying world that they may look and live.
Whoever desires take of the water of life freely:)

Hi Alvin!
You said: "Yes Michele but that flows from Justification/Sanctification truth the Gospel which in Galatians is not only our position in Christ but our progressive sanctification. The Gospel has a broader meaning then just initial salvation."
Well I am still encouraged by your reply. What you responded is exactly what I thought I was saying as well, throughout the post, even by quoting this scripture,
"As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving" (Col. 2:6-7).
and I said it was the gospel "to the lost and the saved" and cited Galatians 5:5
"But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope."
That's a sanctification verse. This sanctification verse sounds a lot like many justification verses. Do you agree? I think we do but I stand to benefit from whatever further insight you might reply.
As for why Paul was persecuted and offensive for no longer preaching circumcision, Romans 9:30-33
"What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone." As it is written:
"See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.""
So here is the meditation of this post: How does one magnify the offense of the "stumbling stone" in their life? And you already very well said that those who have turned to the law are an offense but not Christ's, which is interesting.
I'd answer my own question by saying that we believers (who are walking by faith in Christ, Rom 8:4) should have sanctificational-assurance as we move within the Body and before the unbelieving world, too. What sort of assurance is important to recall & put on every day for our sanctification? The assurance is that righteousness still comes only by faith that is alone. Our assurance is of our cleanliness and righteousness through this conduit (faith).
Many orthodox believers get lost along the way measuring their cleanliness and righteousness through law. Of course obedience certainly matters so that we might obtain reward and not suffer loss at judgment. But, anything not done by (in) faith is sin. And we are concerned about order, here. The inner man is where obedience springs forth.
"A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, and circumcision is not merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the Spirit, not by the letter." Romans 2:28
"First clean the inside of the cup and then the outside will be clean also." matt 23
If we want to be a people who are characterized more and more as obedient, who are in pursuit of all God has laid forth of His works in Christ, who will be tested at judgment and find gain, we must keep on with our gospel of faith in Christ for imputed righteousness, gained and secured for us at the cross by the Savior.
The world and disobedient brethren stumble over the stone of faith-righteousness. They want us to conform to their mind and heart but we are steadfast and vocal - sufficient by faith in Christ instead. This is their own issue they take up with God Himself and not us as we merely proclaim our joy in faith alone.
Hi Michele,
I heartily concur with the heart of your last post, but I have one question: You said,
...we must keep on with our gospel of faith in Christ for imputed righteousness, gained and secured for us at the cross by the Savior.
When you say "we must keep on with our gospel...for imputed righteousness" do you mean for sanctification righteousness? ...or for justification righteousness that is the foundation for an actual, tangible righteousness of Christ that touches the world?
I'm confused about the "imputation" part; are you saying that sanctification righteousness is imputed? I hope I didn't butcher what you meant as I read it.
Hi Jim!
Actually, I don't know whether or not it is imputed?
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Hi Diane!!
Thanks for inviting me to the GES blog, I check it out every once in a while. I enjoy reading the articles a lot, and some of the recent ones are along the lines of things I've been asking questions on. It's so nice to talk with you though I don't offer a real good track record of ever finishing a conversation :(
There's a lot of debate going on about imputation since NT Wright began writing on the topics of "justification" and "the righteousness of God." His latest book, called simply Justification, has been perhaps his clearest exposition so far, if you're interested.
Part of the problem comes from verses like 2 Cor 5:21 that are probably not talking about justification per se but are sanctification verses, as you have implied in your post and replies. The other issue is the range of meaning of the word for "justify" which can include "declare righteous"; "acquit" (which boils down to declaring somone "not guilty"---not necessarily the same thing as "made righteous"); or "vindicate."
Hence, both Romans 5:19 and 2 Cor 5:21 are IMO both talking about actually manifesting righteousness in our character and behavior, which is a sanctification issue. We are actually becoming or being made righteous by ongoing faith in Christ through the power of the HS.
Imputation refers to attributing the righteousness of Christ to a sinner, and I question whether that is the same as either acquittal or being declared righteous. It seems to me the Resurrection would somehow have to be involved---and not just Christ's death---before we can really speak of actual righteousness and not just "acquittal." A "bad" person can be acquitted in a court of law but is that "not guilty" person really righteous?
If we aren't "justified" in using 2 Cor 5:21 to support imputation, where is it supported in Scripture? I have my own ideas but I wonder what others think.
The person who has received the reconciliation is clothed in Christ righteousness (1 Cor 1:30;2 Cor 5:20,21). They have been circumcised with a circumcision that is without hands, sin being removed in the circumcision of Christ in His flesh (Col 2:11). The believer has a perfect standing in Christ and has been imputed with His righteousness and has been set apart (positional sanctification)in Him (Eph 2:4-7; 1 Cor 1:30). The righteousness the believer hopes for is the righteous reign of Christ where corruption will be done away with. At this time the believer still suffers corruption because he is still in the body of flesh. When the believer sows to the flesh he reaps corruption. This will only end when death is swallowed up and there will be no more corruption.
There is a progressive sanctification that is taking place as Christ is being formed in the believer. This sanctification is by abiding in the truth, and when the believer is doing this they are abiding in Christ (1 John 2:24,25; James 1:18-21; John 17:3).
The believer can only grow when he is standing on the grounds of grace (Romans 5:1,2; 1 Peter 5:12; 2 Peter 3:18).
(While all Christians have eternal life, only some have experiential or fellowship forgiveness (cf. 1 John 1:9). (JOTGES page 8 volume 21)
All believers are clean by the word but must have there feet washed in order to have part with Jesus (John 13:8-10). This takes place by confession of sins so that they might walk in the light and be transformed so that Christ is being formed in them (2 Cor 3:18; Gal 4:19; 1 John 1:7).
Alvin:)
Justification is a gift and so is rightousness.
It's impossible for a believer to be positionaly in Christ justified but unrightous!
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of rightouness, having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of Go; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--
The reason why the believer can stand is because he stands in Christ rightousness not his own . . . .Amen and Amen
Hi Alvin,
You said The righteousness the believer hopes for is the righteous reign of Christ where corruption will be done away with.
Ahh; I got it, because who hopes for what he already has?
Romans 8:23-25 "Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
Alvin, and Jim,
Not all who are in Christ have obtained the "imputation or the declaration or the acquittal or the vindication" (-righteousness-) (sanctificational) that comes by faith. Some are not "becoming" and some are not "being made." It's conditionally "given", and the condition is faith in Christ.
But at the same time it is already ours by position. I think this is what Alvin is saying when he said,
"The person who has received the reconciliation is clothed in Christ righteousness (1 Cor 1:30;2 Cor 5:20,21). They have been circumcised with a circumcision that is without hands, sin being removed in the circumcision of Christ in His flesh (Col 2:11). The believer has a perfect standing in Christ and has been imputed with His righteousness and has been set apart (positional sanctification)in Him (Eph 2:4-7; 1 Cor 1:30)."
All of these are the riches of His grace which is in Christ... is this what Alvin is saying? I think so too.
So how can we hope in Christ, today, for His righteousness, when it is already ours? I think this is interesting.
Thanks Alvin!
Hi Jim,
You said "Imputation refers to attributing the righteousness of Christ to a sinner, and I question whether that is the same as either acquittal or being declared righteous. It seems to me the Resurrection would somehow have to be involved---and not just Christ's death---before we can really speak of actual righteousness and not just "acquittal." A "bad" person can be acquitted in a court of law but is that "not guilty" person really righteous?"
Ahh. A piece that was missing. That makes sense; that we have our debts cleared because of the cross, but to be imparted with the abundant grace of God we would have to live in newness of life (the resurrection).
I think about 1 John 1:9 and realize that officially and technically I am only receiving the "cleansing from all unrighteousness" -- the acquittal part.
But I don't know if God binds Himself to technicality. I think that when I experience it, and I exert (sanctificational) faith according to the promise of 1 John 1:9, He not only cleared my debts but also imparted (or "made" me) righteous in some form or another, as well. That's because faith is the total package. It enacts the entire grace in all its richness, which is piggybacking off what I think Alvin's comment said.
This is why I don't think compartmentally about salvation or sanctification, because how many times has scripture made it clear that faith is the end of the command, the end of the requirement, the end of the works God requires, the end of the law, etc.
Faith is like a superpower-charged volt of His approval and use of me, and it supplies all I need for life and godliness in this present age. But the lost and the legalists despise this truth.
What a gospel.
Michele,
All I'm doing is distinguishing between "imputing" and "imparting" righteousness. How, then, are confession/repentance and faith involved in these processes? Would you walk with me through the relationship between the Gospel and First John to try to picture these connections? See if this makes sense:
I'm convinced that 1 John 1:9 is best understood in light of the Upper Room. Being cleansed of all unrighteousness and sin (1:7,9) is depicted in the footwashing of John 13, in which we, like Peter, are "already clean" (this latter "clean" would be where we might claim the righteousness of Christ by "imputation"). But we still have no "part" with Jesus if we don't allow him to "wash our feet" (John 13:8-10). Footwashing ("cleansing of sin" or "acquittal") requires confession or acknowledgment of sin in order to have our "part" with him, which I see as restoring/maintaining fellowship with Him. Without that fellowship we cannot in turn abide in Him and bear [righteous] fruit by the actual "infusion" of His righteous "sap" (John 15).
The issue is no different in First John, which I see as fleshing out the dynamics of "cleansing" ("acquittal") and "abiding" ("impartation" or "infusion"): Without confession/repentance "in the light" we have no cleansing and therefore no fellowship or "part" with Him (1:5-2:2)---we do not abide in Him, which is the whole objective of the rest of First John. Hence, we are unable to bear [righteous] fruit unless we abide in Him and tap into the "sap" of His righteousness by "impartation" or "infusion" and love one another (2:28-3:24), just like John 15.
Thus, being "made" [constituted, imparted] righteous---"ongoingly" speaking---depends on abiding in Him ("vine and branches"). Confession and forgiveness of sin keeps us clean and in the vine, where we can then "exert (sanctificational) faith," as you put it, to appropriate His grace (read: resurrection power) and thereby "reign in righteousness." This, then, is where we see the sanctificational truth of First John and Romans 5 merging.
Do these pictures make sense? Can one confess and repent of sin and still not "exert sanctificational faith" to bear righteous fruit? This is where I think we have a major difference with the Lordship folks. It may also help explain what Bobby Grow means by our "union" with Christ; although I'm not sure we're totally on the same page, I'd love to get Bobby's take on these theological images.
Jim,

I never put those two passages together. How cool.

I don't know. It kind of disturbs me a bit to think that a believer would get to the point of Spiritual confession and yet not abide. I have a lot to think about now.
Thanks!
Don’t think that I’m arguing against experiential righteousness the believer gains by walking in faith and will be rewarded for. Or a progressive sanctification being set apart unto God in the believers experience. But this is all based on the believer’s position in Christ. A believer cannot be anymore set apart to God then he is in Christ. And it’s as the believer reckons himself dead in Christ that he can live in newness of life which is based on who he is in Christ. It is only as one abides in the truth that one is abiding in Christ and that is where it is crucial to believe God's testimony that He has given us eternal life (1 John 2:24,25; 5:9-13).
Concerning Romans 5:11-21 is based on those who receive the reconciliation (Romans 5:11). They not only receive the gift of justification but the gift of righteousness that is in Christ (Romans 16,17). They were in Adam where sin and death reigned and were separated from God by the one mans offense (Romans 5:14). But by the One mans obedient act came life and righteousness. This justification of life ONLY comes to those who receive the reconciliation by faith in Christ. The ONLY kind of life as a gift Jesus gives is eternal life and is not just in duration but in quality it is the very life of Christ( John 17:3). The one who is not reconciled to God only experience death, that is separation from God who is life and is under the wrath of God.

Hi Alvin,
I'm sorry. You're right, there it was. I hope you will forgive me.
I am worried about something though. Maybe if you aren't being called away too far gone and can give me another chance, I'd like to ask about it.
I had a post called "The Very Works" where I asked a question or two that didn't get answered? And I've been hit and miss, gone. I'll give it it's own post - a learning session directly, that way you and Gary and Diane and I can come back to it. I think that would be much more respectful of your time - I do appreciate you. Let me know.
Have a great holiday in the sun!
Michele
