“Remember Immanuel's Grace Has Truth! (R.I.G.H.T)”

Ramesh C. Reddy
Publisher

SCRIPTURE:

“We can always “prove” that we are right, but is the Lord convinced?” (Proverbs 16:2, TLB)

We can use the best arguments to prove our case in an area of our lives that we want to be right in and prove others wrong by carefully cross examining their thinking to our thinking showing them like a lawyer how there are holes in their argument using logic, proof, etc. from a human perspective.

Legalistically speaking we may even win the argument and prove to others that we have been right all along whether they are our family, friends, fellow workers, etc making ourselves feel good that we won but at what expense?

The answer is revealed in Proverbs 16:2: ‘But is the Lord convinced?”

The significance of asking ‘But is the Lord convinced?’ puts a stake or dagger in all our arguments that look to prove that we are right compared to someone else. In other words, we can prove to ourselves and others how much we know about what we are talking about, what we are doing, etc but it means zilch when it comes to convincing the Lord.

In other words, if the Lord is not convinced in what we are doing is right then we have actually joined the Pharisees camp vs. Jesus’ camp.  As I thought about that, it occurred to me that the Pharisees were always about trying to prove to others and Jesus how much they were right using elegant law terminology but Jesus saw right through their teachings and warned the disciples to 'Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees (Matthew 16)'.  In other words, Jesus was not convinced one bit that the Pharisees were right in some of the things they were doing no matter what Scriptures they quoted to justify themselves.  In essence what they were doing was twisting Scripture to justify their actions. Hence in Matthew 16, Jesus says to the disciples, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees!’.

It occurred to me that the Pharisees did that out of pride because they wanted to be right over Jesus. When we always try to "prove" that we are right whether it is in marriage, parent-child relationship, boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, employer-employee relationship, etc, let's watch our motives. A lot of time it is because of prideful thinking which is not the way of the Lord but it has a lot to do with law and legalism.

When law and legalism permeate our thinking and actions we can become so law minded that all we want to do is win, win, win using arguments that make us seem like a lawyer winning cases.

But at what expense?

We do it at the expense of relationships and hurting the ones we are supposed to love. More than that we do it at the expense of the Lord! This happens because of our commitment to self rather than the Lord and others.
  The Lord knows this will happen when we always try to prove that we are right, hence the Lord so graciously gave us another promise right after that verse which says, “Commit your work to the Lord, then it will succeed.”(Proverbs 16:3, TLB)

In the context of the previous verse, the significance is in the fact that we need not always prove that we are right and others are wrong putting them down and exalting ourselves whether it be family, friends, fellow workers, etc but leave it in the Lord’s hands whatever the situation is. When we do that we are laying our work in the Helping Hands of the Lord and it will succeed. In other words, the Lord will prove to others that we are right if need be in His own way instead of us making ourselves look good at the expense of others suffering or belittling.

When we belittle others, we are actually exalting ourselves at their expense which is PRIDE. Pride is not the way to go and the Lord reminds us of that in the following verse which says, “Pride disgusts the Lord. Take my word for it—proud men will be punished?” (Proverbs 16:5, TLB). There are consequences for having pride and usually the punishment comes in the form of brokenness whether it is a broken relationship, broken heart, etc. When that happens it is because of the iniquity of pride. Thanks be to the Lord that there is a remedy for overcoming the iniquity of pride. The answer is found in the following verse for me that says, “Iniquity is atoned for by mercy and truth; evil is avoided by reverence for God.” (Proverbs 16:6, TLB)

When I thought about Proverbs 16:6, what came to my mind is Jesus Christ. The iniquity of pride can only be atoned by mercy and truth which come from Jesus Christ. It is He who by His grace can help us overcome pride when we realize that we are saved by His grace and not of any works we do. Understanding the magnitude of His grace in our lives which is a free gift and unmerited favor by Him can only make us want to be more like Jesus instead of the Pharisees who tried to quote Moses’ teachings to Jesus.  

In essence, we would want to be grace-minded more than law-minded towards those around us. It is no surprise that John 1:17 says, “For Moses gave us only the Law with its rigid demands and merciless justice, while Jesus Christ brought us loving forgiveness as well! (John 1:17, TLB) Wow! 

Pride is evil and to avoid pride, the answer is in our reverence for God. When that happens, amazing outcomes can be seen which is evident by the following verse in Proverbs 16:7 which says, “When a man is trying to please God, God makes even his worst enemies to be at peace with him.” (Proverbs 16:7, TLB)

If I want to please God, I need to be more grace-minded than law-minded. Grace of the Lord Jesus should permeate my life more than being law-minded so I don’t let pride, critical attitude, and being judgmental rule me. For when I become too law-minded instead of grace-minded, I will let it ruin relationships especially my relationship with the Lord Jesus and others because anytime I put myself first over the Lord Jesus and others, I lose the joy the Lord He wants to give me. No wonder we can find true JOY only when we put JESUS first, OTHERS second, YOURSELF last.

On a personal note, this past week, I started to reflect on my own life when it comes to being law-minded versus grace-minded especially after our Transformers small group Bible study on Ephesians 2:1-10 facilitated by Vicki and an incident that happened the following day. From that,  I realized how much law-minded I have been more than being grace-minded. I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for not leaving me to my law-mind but making me realize how much I need to have a grace-mind like Christ.

I can recall how much I wanted to even go to law school that I took so many undergraduate law classes through the Legal Studies department but instead I went into ministry for more than 7 years.  I was telling my sweet wife Chandra that I felt the Lord Jesus deliberately chose me to go into full time ministry instead of law school to prune me to be the way He wanted me to be. There is so much law in me that I have seen so many things through the eyes of the law instead of through the eyes of grace.

The Lord Jesus in His mercy has helped me to experience in ministry how grace-based living should be like instead of law-based living. Law based living can hold us captive and eventually destroy relationships when it is not tempered with a lot of grace. I realized how much prideful I have been, how much correct I thought I was, etc.

So, yesterday I confessed to Pastor Hugo, Heather, Chandra, Somreeta, Vicki, Johannes, and Bobby in prayer group of Transformers  how much law-minded I have been compared to being grace-minded so I needed their prayers so I can be more like Jesus than the Pharisees. A similar prayer request I had shared with Cecilia too the previous week. The law started answering that prayer last week alone the following day and continues to answer that prayer. Today, the Lord continued to work in my life by using Proverbs 16:1-7 and Matthew 16 which I read today of February 16.

What I learned in those chapters, I felt like the Lord Jesus was right there with me speaking to me about my condition and what I was struggling with. I realized it is so much better to be grace-minded than law-minded which is proven by Scripture and how Jesus drew followers to Himself.

When I think about people that have impacted my life such as my loving wife Chandra, my loving mommy, my mentors Pastor Hugo & Edwin, friends like Kristen, Calvin, David, etc, who I have shared different life struggles with involving ministry or relationships, they all shared a common characteristic which had nothing to do with being law-minded but everything to do with being grace-minded. I could feel comfortable around them to share what I was going through because they rarely ever judged me when I shared my shortcomings with them. Instead in love they built me up encouraging me to see the positives of my life and work to overcome the negatives with the Lord’s help.

As I think about my pastor Hugo, even when he exhorts me and tells me I handled a situation the wrong way, I never feel judged by him. That’s why I love to meet with him every week if I could because I learn about my shortcomings without feeling judged. That type of learning is based on conviction rather than condemnation. Grace based living is all about being convicted by the Lord to do right while law based living is all about being condemned by the enemy because we have done wrong. I want to love with grace than love with the law. Proverbs 16 and Matthew 16 convicted me so much. Thank you Jesus!

When I have felt judged whether it is by family or friends, I like to put a wall up as a defensive shield so I am not hurt or I go into law mode to prove that I am right. I have realized both are not the way of the Master. Instead I need to commit everything to the Lord and allow Him to direct me by His grace.  It is makes no sense to be so judgmental that we forfeit relationships in the process. I need to be building people up instead of tearing them down.

It is so appropriate to remind myself of the verse, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose His soul?”

When I become so law-minded as opposed to grace-minded, I am putting my soul in jeopardy too because it can be so wounded by works, works, works, without grace, grace, grace. Grace is what brings us home! Thank you Jesus! This is not to say that we ignore God’s law for our living but we live by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ so our good works are a fruit of our gracious living by the power of the Holy Spirit working in us and through us! Thank you Jesus!

What I have been doing recently is listening to a Spiritual Warfare series preached by Pastor Jim Cymbala of the Brooklyn Tabernacle. It has been so awesome!

I realized how much ministry I used to listen to in the past but since I left full time ministry years ago, that part of my life never was the same again. It also affected me very much negatively by not listening to sermons like I used to, not being in God's Word like I used to, etc. So, I decided to listen to sermons in my office at work and it has been such a blessing. My mommy brought to my attention how loving I was when I was listening to grace-based sermons and watching faith-based movies so I wanted to go that path again.

Friend, we need the Lord Jesus and His Word to convict us in His loving way so He can show us the path we need to take.

So, I ask you now dear friend, why should you always want to be R.I.G.H.T in life?
Dear friend, if you always want to be right in your life, who is really governing your life?
Are you governing your own life or are you letting the Lord Jesus Christ govern your life?

 Friend, if we want to govern our own life, we want to always be right in life because we will be governed by pride, critical attitude, and judgmental thinking because we will always try to prove that we are right and others are wrong. This becomes so law-based than grace-based. Friend, from experience I can tell you that it will cost you a lot more than be a gain to you. I have lost a lot in ministry because of my judgmental attitude and there have been relationships too that had been affected very badly all for the sake of being right and law-minded at the expense of being grace-minded. That is not the Way of the Master.

Jesus loves you and me so much that He wants grace to permeate our lives because it is by His grace He saves us. When we think of grace we can think of it as God’s Redemption At Christ’s Expense! God used His own son Jesus Christ to show a fallen world, what it means to live by grace. Grace is an unexpected gift or unmerited favor that we don’t deserve and yet we receive because of the love of Christ.

When we reflect on what Jesus Christ has done for us, how can we still hold on to a law mindset of trying to win every talk in our life?

It does not have to be that way. We can turn everything over to Jesus Christ and lay it at His feet and allow Him to take care of us. Jesus showed us love and grace so we can imitate that in other people’s lives.

If we know how it is to be judged wrong, then why do we insist on judging others in condemnation and make ourselves feel good?

We do that because of pride and exalted thinking. Jesus wants to take us away from that evil mindset and set our focus on Him so we can have the mind of Christ. Yes, friend the Bible asks us to seek the mind of Christ in our living and be an example in word and deed. This happens only by the grace of the Lord. Thank you Jesus! Help us Jesus!

So, you don’t have to always want to be right but let Christ be right. You know when Jesus was being accused of things He never did so they could crucify Him, Jesus did not prove how right He was but remained silent leaving everything to the Father. We too should know when to be silent and when to talk even if we are right. There is a time and place for things.

Whatever you are going through, leave it in the Lord’s hands. If you want to be right all the time, you do it at the expense of relationships and your relationship with the Lord. It is not worth it! What will eventually happen is you will start becoming a loner because slowly you will pull people away from you emotionally. Please don’t go that path for I have been there. If you want to be right, let it be on the side of grace than the law. For grace of the Lord Jesus will help you follow God’s Word rather than the law helping to follow God’s Word!

May we rest in the Lord’s grace to change us to live with a mindset of Christ that we may build and edify others knowing only grace is the right way to go! Amen!

“Remember Immanuel’s Grace Has Truth!” (R.I.G.H.T)/”Why should you always want to be R.I.G.H.T in life?”

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank you so much how you speak to us through your Word. You know what we are going through and you speak to us words of wisdom from your Word to help us. We know what grace based living can look like but we have trouble implementing it in our own lives when we are so law minded. Please do forgive us for that and help us to love others through our actions so that even when we exhort others, they won’t feel condemned but convicted by love. This is the path I want to take Oh Lord so please help me. It is easier to make others feel guilty and try to get results but that is not the way of you. When we do that, we only tear people down by our negative words trying to boost our position. Please forgive and help us. I know that I have been guilty of that and am sorry. Help me Jesus. Cover us in your precious blood and help us to walk in your path for you flood it with your light. Thank you Jesus! Thank you for your grace in our lives. We praise you for everything and how you will work in us. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!

Lord Jesus, You are my all in all. You are my Prince of Peace, Rock, Savior, and Friend. You are my Holy Father guiding me through to live a life of righteousness, holy righteousness. Oh God, I need you more than ever. I need to feel your hands around me holding me tight. I need your love to surround me so that you can glow in my life. Help me please Jesus. I desire in your presence. Thank you for guiding me to live a life of righteousness. Oh God you love me more than ever. You hear my voice when I cry out to you. When I seek your face, you fill me up. You are my all in all. Thank you Jesus so much for your help no matter what I face, your grace is available and you take my case. Thank you for hearing us and answering us. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! AMEN! (Most of the prayer is from a vineyard song called “All in All”)

No matter who you are, it is not ever too late to join a Bible-believing church or a college fellowship. I highly encourage each of you to come to Transformers Small Group on Friday nights at 7:00 p.m. and Oakland International Fellowship on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. for prayer, 11:30 a.m. for worship, 10:30 a.m. for Sunday School, and 12:30 p.m. for fellowship lunch.

May the Lord's presence and peace fill you with His love now and forever! Amen!

Friend, if you have prayed this prayer and meant it in your heart, you are a new creation in Christ and all old things are passed away and everything has become new! You may feel something or may not but don’t base it on feelings but base your new life in Christ on the promises of our Savior who will never leave you nor forsake you! Amen!
