The finished works of Jesus are not a down payment, but a ONE-TIME FULL PAYMENT, and knowing this is the only way to resist accusations from the devil.
The world of man is based on what you do, but that of God is based on what He did, because when God TAKES A LOOK at you, He sees Jesus - His son, a member of the Godhead, a part of the trinity.
So, when God sees you,
- He thinks Trinity, not sinner.
- He thinks God, not slave.
- He thinks inheritance, not wages.
Your name is on His WILL, even though He, the writer is everlasting.
When God shows up, and takes a look at you, He sees, not just a saved one, but a SAVIOUR.
