We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God's holiness and righteous glory have been desecrated, defamed, and blasphemed by our sin. It is with a holy God that we have to do in our guilt! And there can be no justification, no reconciliation, no cleansing of our conscience, unless the holiness of God is honored and the defamation of His righteousness is repaired. The urgency of our problem with guilt is not that we feel miserable, but that God's name has been blasphemed. We live in a day with such a horrendously inflated view of human potential and such a miserably tiny view of God's holiness that we can scarcely understand what the real problem of guilt is. The real problem is not, 'How can God be loving and yet condemn people with such little sins?' The real problem is, 'How can God be righteous if He acquits such miserable sinners as we?' There can be no lasting remedy for guilt which does not deal with God's righteous indignation against sin. That's why there had to be a sacrifice. And not just any sacrifice, but the sacrifice of the Son of God! No one else, and no other act, could repair the defamation done to the glory of God by our sins. But when Jesus died for the glory of the Father, satisfaction was made. The glory was restored. Righteousness was demonstrated. Henceforth it is clear that when God, by grace, freely justifies the ungodly (Romans 4:5), He is not indifferent to the demands of justice. It is all based on the grand transaction between the Father and the Son on the morning of Good Friday at Calvary. No other gospel can take away our guilt because no other gospel corresponds to the cosmic proportions of our sin in relation to God.
John Piper

If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at the moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved to be steady… [It] is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point [of attack].
Martin Luther

ACTS 1:15 I u dane one ustavši Petar izmedju uèenika reèe (a beše naroda zajedno oko sto dvadeset imena):
ACTS 1:16 Ljudi braæo! Trebalo je da se izvrši ono pismo što proreèe Duh Sveti ustima Davidovim za Judu koji beše pred onima što uhvatiše Isusa;
ACTS 1:17 Jer se brojaše s nama, i beše primio deo ove službe.
ACTS 1:18 On dakle steèe njivu od plate nepravedne, i obesivši se puèe po sredi, i izasu se sva utroba njegova.

ACTS 1:22 Poèevši od krštenja Jovanovog do dana kad se uze od nas, da bude s nama svedok Njegovog vaskrsenja jedan od ovih.
ACTS 1:23 I postaviše dvojicu, Josifa koji se zvaše Varsava prezimenom Just, i Matija.
ACTS 1:24 I pomolivši se Bogu rekoše: Ti, Gospode! Koji poznaješ srca svih, pokaži jednog od ove dvojice koga si izabrao,
ACTS 1:25 Da primi deo ove službe i apostolstva, iz koga ispade Juda da ide na mesto svoje.
ACTS 1:26 I baciše kocke za njih, i pade kocka na Matija i primiše ga medju jedanaest apostola.
