God’s purpose is good/love.

Evil is the absence (experiential)

       or the forgetting of this.
Sin results from and results in evil.
Evil is “not Live,” is Dead, is Death.
Evil is temporary, it will cease eternally.

Faith is the remembering
      and the relying upon the
      Truth of God’s goodness/love.
                results in salvation

                happens by God’s Good (Holy) Spirit
                happens through encountering Jesus – God with us

The Cross -- where evil meets good and dies
                  where  the forgetting is removed
                  where we see, remember, know God as He is
                                                    know God is good
                                                    know His power
                                                    know His love
                                                    know His giving to the utmost
                    where He convinces us through His Holy/Good Spirit
                                               of Who and What He is
                                               of who and what we are
                                               of who and what He wants
                                                                                            wills
                                                                                             intends
                                                                                             plans
                                                                                 for us to be.

                           The shed blood of Jesus
                           The broken body of Jesus
                           The Risen, Restored, Returning Body of Jesus
                                  is our communion, our remembrance
                                                             of His love and His power
                                                                        towards us and in us.
                                  is the basis of our confidence in Him
                                                                        our faith in Him
                                                                        our trust in Him

This is the faith that results in righteousness,
                                                      results in pleasing God,
                                                                results in the righteousness of Jesus,
                                                                                  faith righteousness that will continue                                                                                                                                                                             eternally.
