-
Now a righteousness has been revealed that is apart from the
-
law. There is no difference, for we
-
have all sinned. That picture, friends, is called
-
her Marsha. That means we have all missed
-
the target every one of us has missed.
-
There is no difference. Those people with the errors,
-
could you stand, please, with your error?
-
Who who do you think's got more chance of hitting the bullseye?
-
You're me. It's got to be me.
-
You know that the word for sin is falling short of the market.
-
What we do is we do camps, teaching children that they we
-
stand in close and they shoot the arrow from close by and they
-
hit the bullseye and the further and further away they go from
-
God, the harder it is to hit the bullseye.
-
And I thought, that is unbelievable.
-
What an incredible lesson to teach children.
-
And I woke up at 2:00 in the morning, I thought, but that's
-
not biblical. That's not right.
-
That's not what the Bible says. That's not what Galatians is
-
about. Galatians says you and you and
-
you and you and you have fallen short, exactly the same as me.
-
Here We have fallen short. Every one of us has fallen short
-
and God, in the name of Jesus, comes and takes your arrow,
-
takes your arrow, takes your arrow, takes your arrow.
-
And he sticks it in the bullseye and he says this.
-
Receive credited righteousness. Receive credited righteousness.
-
Receive credited righteousness. We can't start in the spirit and
-
end up with works and say you keep falling short, buddy, you
-
keep falling short. When you fall short, just
-
remember this. Jesus can pick you up, and he
-
can put you back in the bull's eye like this.
-
But I wish everyone of you had an arrow in your hand, and you
-
realize somewhere you seated, that you've got no chance in
-
your natural strength of even getting close to this target,
-
that Jesus Christ will pick up this arrow.
-
You'll put it in the target, which is ace, actually his
-
heart, and look back at you and justify you.
-
Justify. Declare you righteous.
-
Declare you righteous.
