Paul_S said:
Back to active obedience, one of my pastors frequently drives home the point by saying that from the moment of Jesus' conception, not only was every inclination of his heart directed toward, and rejoicing in, pleasing his beloved Father, but because of that, every movement of his hands, every step of his feet, every word of his mouth, every prayer prayed, every song sung, every reading of the Word, every laugh, every tear, every smile, every frown, every glance of his eyes, every thought, every dream, every emotion, every resistance of temptation--all was well-pleasing to the Father, and as such is not only that exact righteousness which is fully accounted to his adopted children as their own, but is also the righteousness against which those who hate his grace will be measured and found infinitely wanting, the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
