Righteousness Affected By Love
by Stefan Racz

Extracted from my book  “Free to Choose”

God is the creator of all things out of His Love.  His nature is, to make things in love, goodness, righteousness, pleasure, and he created man after His own image to have fellowship with, and to give him the good things what He created for man. He is righteous even, when we are not worthy of His mercy. He is Love. He sent His Son Jesus, to be made sin, so that man could be made righteous in Him. He came down to Abram, and made a covenant on his level, using as a token, the blood of animals, after man’s custom, and Abram, believed God, and God counted that faith righteousness. Out of that covenant many important treasures had been born: love, friendship, loyalty, power, unity, brotherhood, remembrance. God had changed his name to Abraham.

Romans 4:3, 20, 21  ...Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.  He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in God, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised he was able to perform.

That covenant was performed by works, not by grace, but God in His Love toward us He sent His only Son to create a better covenant for us, which is by faith, not by the works of the law. He made us through His blood shed at Calvary’s hill on the Cross becoming the curse of that law for us, and making a free entrance into the Holy of Holies through Him. Making us the righteousness of God through His flesh. There is no more a law by works, no more conciseness of sin; the Lamb of God, Who gave His life for us washed us in the power of the blood, so that we could have eternal life with Him. This "Hessed" (Hassid) Love which God commanded toward us is a covenant Love which also is translated in New Testament version, "Agape Love".  For our intellect is expressed by His loving kindness, tender mercy. 

Romans 3:13,14,18  And unto Moses, which put a Vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished;  But their minds were blinded for until this day remaineth the same Vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which Vail is done away in Christ.  But we all, with open face beholding as in glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

In the ordinances of the Old Testament there was the Tabernacle of sacrifices, praise and worship, and the offerings for the sins, presented that year by the high priest to God in the Holy of Holies. There only the chosen high priest could go in by himself before God and he had to be specially anointed to be received by God at the Mercy Seat. There he sprinkled everything behind the veil separating the Holy of Holies from the High Place and the Outer Court. In the Outer Court people brought their sacrificial lamb, for their sins. After that they could go into the Holy Place where the two candle stands, the shewbread table and the table of the censes were, also where the priests did the worship and the ordinances of God. The Holy of Holies was the place where the golden censer and Ark of the Covenant covered with gold. On the top were the Golden Pot with Manna and Aaron’s rod and the Tables of the Ten Commandments. This was over shadowed by the Mercy Seat with the two Cherubims. In this Holy of Holies only that chosen high priest for the year could go in.

Jesus is the High Priest and mediator for us. Through His final and only sacrifice, He offered His blood in the Holy of Holies on the heavenly Mercy Seat of God as a continual remembrance before God. He has the token of the New Covenant: the marks on His wrists, feet and side always before the Father and sits at the Father’s right hand reconciling us with God’s Love for ever.

Romans 5: 8,9,11  But God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.  And not only so, but we also joy in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

God did not give us His Love, for He is Love, and we are His righteousness children by faith not by works, we are in His Love resting, believing in Him unconditionally.  Sealed with His Spirit unto the day of redemption, by the power of the blood covenant. This way we are seated with Christ in heavenly places being blessed with all the spiritual blessings having in us His power to stand against the attacks of the enemy, being more than conquerors in this life. The Love of God is a perfect Love, so if we walk in His Love, fulfilling the law.

Romans 8:1- 4  There is therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak in the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
