"Justification"

"Stir up Thyself, and awake to my judgement, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord." (Psalms 35:23) When it comes to the argument as to the truth of eternal security, I trust and believe that it is all a matter of faith in what you believe; in other words, Do you believe that you are forgiven, and that you are justified before God because of Jesus and what Jesus has done for you, not by what you have done, nor could ever do? Therefore; the point of what we put our faith in, is in fact the end of the argument; because if you are putting your faith in Jesus Christ, and Him alone, then you are eternally secure; but if you are counting on your own righteousness to be what carries you through, then your security is flawed, just as your ability to be righteous before God is flawed. What we might be before other men, we might consider to be righteousness, but what that constitutes before God is nothing, based upon the unrighteousness of our heart, and the evil thoughts and imaginations of our minds; of which, God knows and will judge us on. Yes, I said we will be judged; all will be judged; however, we that are written in the Lambs Book of Life, even though those books will be opened that judge all, including ourselves, we are only judged as being innocent, because we are written in the Book of Life; therefore, we are not condemned because the price for what we did which is presented in those other books has been paid. If you study all of the characters of the Bible, there are really only a few that were blameless; and when I say a few, I mean maybe two or three, Jesus Christ being one of them. And when you examine the life of David, who was considered and called by God to be "A man after God's own heart", you discover a man that had great sin in his own life; depending on how you might look at what David did when he sinned with Bathsheba, what he did to try and cover up his sin, far exceeded the sin he first committed. But, if you actually think about how much that is a picture of what happens when we try and cover up our sins, the act of trying to cover our own sins, is actually more damaging than the actual sin we are trying to cover up... "This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." (1 John 1:5-10)
