As we come to Christ, then, empty-handed, claiming no merit of our own, but clinging by faith to His blood and righteousness, we are justified. We pass immediately from a state of condemnation and spiritual death to a state of pardon, acceptance, and the sure hope of eternal life. Our sins are blotted out, and we are “clothed” with the righteousness of Jesus Christ. In our standing before God, we will never be more righteous, even in heaven, than we were the day we trusted Christ, or we are now. Obviously in our daily experience we fall far short of the perfect righteousness God requires. But because He has imputed to us the perfect righteousness of His Son, He now sees us as being just as righteous as Christ Himself.

		7-9 " long

		Cornmeal
1		Lemon (opt.)

INSTRUCTIONS

Dress, scale, and what the fish, pat dry, salt and pepper, then dredge them
in the meal or meal-flour combination.
Heat the fat until it is hot enough to cook at once, but not burning,
sputtering hot.  Lay in the fish, turn heat down to barely a medium flame,
and begin to brown the fish. Keep the fish loose from the pan bottom with a
thin metal spatula.
Taking 8-10 minutes to a side (turn heat low if it seems to fry too
fast), brown the fish slowly until crisp. Do not overcook. When the flesh
is opaque the fish is done; one hopes it's all browned by then.
Add 4 Tbs. butter to the skillet after removing the fish and squeeze in
the juice of a lemon, stir the fat and juices to loosen the dredgings, and
pour over the browned fish.
VARIATION:  After removing the fish from the skillet, toss about 1/3 cup of
chopped black walnuts.  Brown lightly with the remaining butter and
sprinkle over the fish before serving.
