For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1 Peter 3:18 KJV
Christ has done the hard work
Being a sacrifice for
The just died for the unjust.
We are all the unjust until
Through Christ we die to the flesh.
That He might bring one to God
Quickened by the Spirit.
In renewing of the mind and heart.
That we might dwell in His presence
In these times to be molded and purified.
New desire not of the outward appearance
But of the transformation of the unseen
spiritual awakenings within one.
Clinging unto His word
To receive understanding of
This world around us and
Through Christ the guidance
Of what He died for to place within one.
Sadly ,the more one reads
The more one will see mankind
Has not changed much.
It's the same mostly today as then.
For only through the quickened Spirit.
Shall Christ receive glory for the unjust.
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:4?-?7 KJV
