THE LORD'S DELIGHT

Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:  But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

Jeremiah 9:23-24:  Lovingkindness, Judgment, Righteousness -- Men always glory in their wisdom (education), in their might (physical, mental, and moral), and in their riches (money).  But those three temporal things can never take away your sins against God.  But the Lord God through Christ Jesus desired to have grace and mercy on sinners and show His LOVINGKINDNESS to undeserving, ungodly wretches like us, so He brought JUDGMENT on His Precious Son at Calvary, God laid our sins on Him, and it pleased God to bruise Him, so that we could have God's RIGHTEOUSNESS freely by faith in the Sinless Crucified and Risen One.  This is what JEHOVAH delights in today.  But we must FIRST 'understand' our sinful condition and need before we can truly KNOW THE LORD.  Only the Holy Ghost can help us understand our sinful and dangerous condition and our need of a sinless Savior.  We were all made of one blood by God at birth (Acts 17:26), and we must all be saved by ONE BLOOD at our second birth (Acts 20:28; I John 1:7).  Now pay close attention and carefully hearken: Your soul will only be eternally safe when you trust only in God's blood that was spilt for your sins, especially you.  God's own blood was shed by the Lord Jesus Christ, and it is the ONLY THING that will keep a sinner out of hell in 2015.  If you sincerely trust to God's blood for the salvation of your sinful soul, God will say to you: "When I see My Blood, I will pass over you." (See Hosea 2:19-20)
