And what does Christ's death mean for us--for all who turn from their sins and trust in this unique mediator?I do hope you have trusted this unique mediator. If you'd like to learn more, here's a great place to start. Dig deeper, dear one, and you'll discover peace beyond measure.
First, we have peace with God--the actual, objective reality of peace with Him, because His holy hostility against us has been spent against Christ instead.
Second, we no longer face condemnation from God when our life on this earth is over. Every believer in Christ can know that the moment we pass from this world and stand before God the righteous judge, the verdict to be announced in our case will be "not guilty," by reason of the righteousness of Christ.
With full assurance we can anticipate and even experience that verdict right now. Our lives here and now are transformed as we live today in the joyful light of that day. We live today free from the fear of wrath on that future date.
What amazing grace! There simply isn't greater news we could give to anyone, anywhere, at any time.
(from the http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rock%20and%20roll)
rock and roll: A term used to describe the new emergence of rhythm and blues fusion type music in the 1950's. Often the music is referred to simply as rock in modern times. "Rock and rolling" originally was a term frequently used in predominantly black neighborhoods to mean "having sexual intercourse". The term was however first derived as a musical term by disk jockey Alan Freed. Alan Freed first played a collection of rhythm and blues albums in his show under the name "The Moondog Show". However, upon relocating to New York he changed the name to "The Rock and Roll Show". He had full knowledge of the term and it's racy implications, but probably found great satisfaction in the spread of the term among mainstream America with little knowledge of the term's true meaning.I think, probably, that America's mainstream churches have little knowledge of the term's true meaning, either. Rock music doesn't celebrate sex between husband and wife. It celebrates immorality. How can I offer music to God in worship that celebrates sin? He will not accept it. He desires that we abstain from sexual immorality.
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5God is light, and in Him there is no darkness, and so I cannot bring Him darkness as worship. I cannot worship Him with music that celebrates immorality.
