- Eph 1:6, the word “accepted” is from the Greek word “charitoo,” which means highly favored, in the Beloved (Jesus)
- Our standing before God as holy, righteous, and blameless never changes; divinely settles, it is actual and real—however, my state changes.
- Always measure yourself by your standing, never by your state.
- Never measure and judge your standing by your state, but always judge your state by your standing.
- If you feel down or bitter, it does not change your standing before God. My standing is in Christ. My state can not touch or alter my standing, which Christ accomplishes. E.g., because of my standing, I have influence with God, and I can ask God to help me with my state.
- Your state can touch your testimony before men, spiritual enjoyment, the glory of Christ in your life, and your peace of mind.
- Self-judging is not self-condemnation. Judging your actions is good because you are improving all the time. God correct you without changing your standing. The extent of my correction is the extent of love.
- God never corrects with accident or disease. Jesus corrects John privately but praise Him publicly
- I have irreversible blessings in my life
- God’s eyes can not squint, see sin on you, because God’s holy, righteous judicial eyes see your sin on Christ, righteously He can not see sin on you.
- You can sin on your state but righteously the eternal viewpoint of God is always glory and good opinion to you because of Christ.
- Our Bible hope is certainty (Elpis – confident expectation of good happening in your future).
