What Will You Bring Before God?

[ClothedInGrace]

God rejected the fruits of Cain, but He accepted Abel's blood sacrifice. (Genesis 4:2-5)

God doesn't want our fruit: He wants us to come before Him with the blood that our sin requires.

Jesus is the only man who gave blood worthy enough to pay for sin, because He was God's only Son. In Him alone is there eternal life with God, because in Him alone is there forgiveness of sin.

What will you bring before God?

Good and interesting snap shots, I hope. God is the Cosmic Artist, wants us to enjoy beauty, great depth and breath of experience, creativity, adventure. God doesn't' want us to like lick J. Alfred Prufrock and measure out our live in teaspoonfuls. So, be prepared. When the day comes, when you go before God, God is gong to use your, "Tell me, what did you do that was interesting and exciting in your life? Got any exciting snap shots?"

Why do you list yourself as Protestant when you clearly don't understand the Gospel? God doesn't want your exciting snapshots; He wants justice. You have sin in your heart and that deserves death. You either accept the sacrifice of Jesus His Son on your behalf or you pay for sin with your own death in the lake of fire. This is the truth as taught by Jesus and the apostles.

What did the prodigal son bring to his Father when he returned?

 

[CodyFaith]

His Son's blood, which is His mercy and love.
So I will bring His love and mercy He promised before Him.

 

[ClothedInGrace]

What did the prodigal son bring to his Father when he returned?

That parable was used to illustrate how God accepts any and all who come to Him in repentance, and how His love is able to forgive the sins of His children; however, it is not an exposition on the Gospel. If you want to be a prodigal son, then you must be a son in the first place, and we are only made sons by the Blood of Christ.

 

[ClothedInGrace]

His Son's blood, which is His mercy and love.
So I will bring His love and mercy He promised before Him.

Amen. Just as long as your salvation rests in Jesus and not in your own works or labor.

Absolutely nothing! Except the presence of Jesus inside me!

In other words, you will be before God based on the work that Jesus accomplished for you (His life, His death, His Blood, His resurrection, etc) rather than your own work. Right?

Absolutely...he is only there by the grace of God and nothing one can ever do!

Since God created all humans and Adam & Eve where his children are all humans not also His children, with some of their own free will leaving the family to be children of satan?

When Adam and Eve sinned we stopped being children of God. We started doing the works of the devil and became his children--children of wrath as Ephesians 2:3 says. But God redeemed us from sin and the Law so we could be adopted back as children of God.

Galatians 4:4-5
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Paul in Eph. 2:3 and Gal 4:4-5 is describing the previous condition of Christians (Those that are now baptized believers) and not of babies.

Where does it say in the Old Testament that after Adam and Eve sinned: “All humans became Children of Wrath”?

The Bible talks about all mature adults sinning, but that does not mean they were born sinners?

Gen. 9: 6 “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.”

Paul says to a group of pagans: Acts 17: 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ 29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill.

Sure, everyone is God's as far as creation goes, but as far as spirituality goes only Christians are children of God.

What will you bring before God?

I recommend you bring evidence of your faithfulness to Jesus Christ by doing God's Will when undergoing Judgment.

My faithfulness is not what will be on display, but God's faithfulness in Jesus Christ to all who call out to Him in faith. Yes, I have done works in Jesus name, but these are not to my glory--they are to God's.
