"Hope To The End" -3

Finally, I think the point that needs to be made in this, is what 'blame' means; besides to be the one that is to blame for our own situation, or to blame it on someone else; oh, not that meaning at all; I want to express what it means to be without blame, because that my dear brothers and sisters is what it is all about. Jesus was without blame, which means, as a sacrifice before God He was without spot or blemish; and, because He paid the price for our sin, then we now are also without blame, which means without spot or blemish, deserved or undeserved. This is our Hope to the end that is possible by the grace of God, and only by His Grace can it be possible!!! I have said it before, and I will say it again: Grace takes over where Mercy leaves off; because not only has He forgiven us of our sins by His rich Mercy, but He has placed us in the highest place by His abundant Grace. Which is all made possible by Jesus Christ the Lamb of God from before the foundation of the world, for the children of God that were chosen before the foundation of the world!!! This being our destiny, and the fact that we Know it, is what makes us not ignorant and to strive to be holy. Add to that, the fact that we have been given a Helper, being the Holy Spirit who is to help us with Knowledge and Holiness, and we can understand again what it means to be 'led by the Spirit'; which, in case you missed it, is a mutual agreement between our spirit and the Spirit of God to stay the course... "According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before Him in Love: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Christ Jesus to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved: in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sin, according to the riches of His grace; wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself: that in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather us together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him." (Ephesians 1:4-10)
