We must come humbly, before the throne of God. Lord, take our pride away from us, as we follow your path. Remind us, that this path, you have already walked, that we might have life, here in this Present Darkness. Yet, your light shines through the Darkness.

This does not mean, our lives will be without troubles. It means that, as we are sent, and as we encounter various trials, we can find peace and joy, in the midst of these.

Jesus was fully man and fully God. He was saying goodbye soon, to his disciples. He next said he was going to prepare a place for them and one day would return for them. In the meantime he was leaving the comforter, the Holy Spirit.

From John MacArthur Study Bible
The only ray of hope in man’s spiritual darkness is the sovereign grace of God, which alone can rescue man from his propensity to lust for evil things. That God gives “greater grace” shows that His grace is greater than the power of sin, the flesh, the world, and Satan (cf. Ro 5:20). The OT quote (from Pr 3:34; cf. 1Pe 5:5) reveals who obtains God’s grace—the humble, not the proud enemies of God.
Share with me what you give praise to God for today. Our God is greater than any circumstance that we might be going through. I GIVE PRAISE, FOR MY WIFE, WHO BY THE GRACE OF GOD, ENDURED BRAIN SURGERY, AND HAS NEVER HAD A SEIZURE SINCE THAT TIME. THE DOCTORS COULD ONLY GUESS THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE FEWER SEIZURES. SHE IS MY MIRACLE!!!

True Godly repentance, leads to a renewed joy found in turning to God, and true remorse, yet trusting him to wash you of your failure. Ungodly repentance is of the world, and is more about regret, and/or fear of getting caught, and is of the world. This can lead to tremendous stress, guilt, and even lead to death!

What God Requires of Man……….
bible.com/bible/100/mic.6.8.NASB1995
With what shall I come to the LORD
And bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, With yearling calves? 7Does the LORD take delight in athousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8He has atold you, O man, what is good?
Micah’s terse response (v. 8) indicated they should have known the answer to the rhetorical question. Spiritual blindness had led them to offer everything except the one thing He wanted—a spiritual commitment of the heart from which right behavior would ensue (cf. Dt 10:12–19; Mt 22:37–39). This theme is often represented in the OT (cf. 1Sa 15:22; Is 1:11–20; Jer 7:21–23; Hos 6:6; Am 5:15).
Therefore. The result or consequence of the truth just taught. Normally it marks the conclusion of the verses immediately preceding it. ( See notes below from MacArthur study Bible)

But here it introduces the staggering results of Paul’s teaching in the first 7 chapters: that justification is by faith alone on the basis of God’s overwhelming grace.
no condemnation.
Occurring only 3 times in the NT, all in Romans (cf. 5:16, 18), “condemnation” is used exclusively in judicial settings as the opposite of justification. It refers to a verdict of guilty and the penalty that verdict demands. No sin a believer can commit—past, present, or future—can be held against him, since the penalty was paid by Christ and righteousness was imputed to the believer. And no sin will ever reverse this divine legal decision (see note on v. 33). those … in Christ Jesus. I.e., every true Christian; to be in Christ means to be united with Him (see notes on 6:2, 11; cf. 6:1–11; 1Co 12:13, 27; 15:22).
