When I was young in the Lord, and very zealous for Him, I use to wish there was a visible "green" and "red" light that I could see. That way I would be able to see when I was living well pleasing to Him and when "red" came on I was not doing so good. Seems silly now, but really this is how most people live. They are unable to determine when their lives are well pleasing to the Lord. I will let you in or a little secret it took me years to know. Jesus lived the life well pleasing to God, not me! God sees us thru the blood of Jesus and Jesus has become our attorney of fact, pleading our cause of "justification" before the throne. What is justification? Simply put "Just-as-if-I-had-never-sinned". Since none are, were or could be perfect, Jesus lived that life well pleasing to God and then gave us His robe of righteousness. I am covered, all my faults, transgressions, short coming, are covered under His robe that He gave to me to wear. So when God sees me...He sees the righteousness of Christ Jesus covering me. No red light/green light here! Just a conscience speaking to me! It is just me presenting my life to Him, and allowing Him to live thru me. He took my place in death, so I take His place in life. Isn't the Lord wonderful? Be blessed.
