Admin	There Is NO ONE Who Is Righteous Posted : 1 Mar, 2011 08:54 AM The Bible tells us that outside of God's righteousness, and the righteousness that He gives to everyone when we become born again believers. His righteousness when He forgives us of our sins, His rihgteousness when He restores us back to our original state of being not guilty and innocent, when He counts us as being righteous before Him without sins, in right standing with Him.... STILL, There is NO ONE, not one single person who is righteous and does good. We reject His righteousness for our own self-righteousness, therefore... This is God's indictment on ALL of mankind, because we continue to grieve the heart of God and frustrate His love and grace, because: There is NO FEAR BEFORE THEIR EYES OF GOD, says the Lord! Romans chapter 3. Why is there no fear of God? Post Reply

And you know what?... there is not a doctrne in the Bible that is to be taught outside of what the apostles taught, who taught what Jesus taught them, which was the Doctrine of Christ, which God Himself gave to us in His word, and Romans chapter 3 point all this out.. YET, the question terefore remains the same: WHY... IS THERE NO FEAR OF GOD? WHY, is not man afraid of God? Post Reply

The greatest problem I see is people do not seek God thru his word for themselves, they know a form of Godliness that denys the power of salvation, thru the traditions and teachings of man.

When Adam was placed in the garden of Eden, he was warned not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil on the threat of immediate SPIRITUAL death. Genesis 2:16,17: and the Lord commanded the man, saying, "You may freely eat of every tree on the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat of it you shall die." 2. Adam disobeyed and ate of the forbidden fruit (Gen. 3:1-7); consequently, he brought spiritual death upon himself and upon the whole human race. Romans 5:12; Therefore as sin came into the world through one man [Adam, see vs. 14] and DEATH through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned. EPHESIANS 2:1-3 and you he MADE ALIVE, when you were DEAD through trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience. Among these we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of body and mind, and so we were BY NATURE children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. Colossians 2:13; And you who were DEAD in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, GOD MADE ALIVE together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses. 3. David confessed that he, as well as all other men, was born in sin. Psalm 51:5; Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psalm 58:3; The wicked go astray from the womb, the err from their birth, speaking lies. 4. Because men are born in sin and are by nature spiritually dead, Jesus taught that men must be born anew if they are to enter God's kingdom. John 3:5-7; Jesus answered, "Truly, Truly, I say unto you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot ENTER the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, 'YOU MUST BE BORN ANEW'" compare John 1:12,13 B. As a result of the fall, men are blind and deaf to spiritual truth. Their minds are darkened by sin; their hearts are corrupt and evil. Gen. 6:5; The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that EVERY IMAGINATION OF THE THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART WAS ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY. Gen. 8:21...The imagination of man's heart is EVIL from his youth.. Ecclesiastes 9:3...The HEARTS of men are FULL OF EVIL, and madness is in their hearts while they live... Jeremiah 17:9; The HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, and DESPERATELY CORRUPT; who can understand it? Mark 7:21-23; "For from within, OUT OF THE HEART OF MAN, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man." John 3:19; And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and MEN LOVED DARKNESS, rather than light because their deeds were evil. Romans 8:7,8; For the MIND that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; IT does not submit to God's law, indeed it CANNOT; and those who are in the flesh CANNOT PLEASE GOD. 1 Corinthians 2:14: The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and, HE IS NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THEM because they are spiritually discerned. Ephesians 4:17-19: Now this I affirm and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds; they are DARKENED IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, DUE TO THEIR HARDNESS OF HEART; they have become callous and have given themselves up to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of uncleanness. Ephesians 5:8 For once you were DARKNESS, but now you are light in the Lord... Titus 1:15: To the pure all things are pure, but to the corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; THEIR VERY MINDS AND CONSCIENCES ARE CORRUPTED. In Christ, James Post Reply

You have given one of the KEYS that unlocks the door into understanding why there is no fear of God... because there is no REVERANCE, NO RESPECT, MANY TEND TO TAKE HIS LOVE AND GRACE AND KINDNESS FOR GRANTED, BECAUSE HE IS LOVING, LONGSUFFERING, AND KIND, AND THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD IS JUST, HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS AND HE WILL JUDGE US ACCORDING TO HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND STANDARDS in due time. As Paul points out in Romans chapter 3. As Jesus say "They HONOR Me with their mouths but their HEARTS are FAR from Me." They do indeed have a form of godliness on the outside in apprearence, and the hearts remians unchanged. And the second KEY as to why there is no fear or reverence for God is because of UNBELIEF, which is why people disobey God... they don't believe that God is going to punsih them for disobedience, not knowing that God is not slack, and He is longsuffering, in order to give us time to come to repentence. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Proverbs chapters 1-2. Post Reply
