Justification is a decree; it is a legal term not a moral or ethical one. I cannot change my standing. Just like our current legal system, the law of double jeopardy, once the verdict comes down "not guilty," I can never be tried for that crime again. I can now rest my mind and heart. God’s favor is constant and uninterrupted towards His children.

Interwoven into the all the attributes of God is the power of God. God doesn't change because He doesn't have to change. His plan is perfect; His power has no limits, and in Zephaniah 3:17, He rests in His love. One of our biggest mistakes is pre-determining how the power of God will be manifest in our individual lives. We cannot dictate how it will be manifest in our circumstances.

Regeneration is God's transformation of individual believers, His giving a new spiritual vitality and direction to our lives when we accept Christ. It is completely God's doing. It is not the efforts of our religious activity and our sweat offering. The regenerated believer has the Spirit of the living God dwelling in him - living in every Christian is a God who is love, a God who is peace, the Father of all mercies and the God of all comfort.

Virtually all areas of human weakness - both outward weaknesses (addiction of all kinds, besetting sins, etc.) - and inward weakness (fears, loneliness, insecurities, unmet needs...) can be traced back to an ancient practice and sin. Idolatry. Or worshiping little stone people. But, idolatry has a promise attached to it that it cannot be delivered.
