THE WAY OF PEACE IN THE SPIRIT: IS TO KNOW & HATE ORIGINAL SIN & AT SAME TIME PRAY FOR HIS MERCY.

ROYAL ROAD BY MARTIN LUTHER:This, therefore, is the Royal Road and the way of peace in the spirit: really to know and to hate sin(ORIGINAL SIN) and so to walk in the FEAR of God, lest he count it(ORIGINAL SIN) and permit it to rule in us, and at the same time to pray for his MERCY that he free us from it and not impute it to us. The FRAR of God cuts off the way at the right which leads TO SECURITY AND VAIN SATISFACTION…IN THIS MESSAGE MARTIN LUTHER TIES TOGETHER IN HIS ROYAL ROAD HOW THAT THE NEW CREATION MUST WALK IN THE FEAR OF GOD BECAUSE OF ORIGINAL SIN AND MUST WALK IN THE MERCY OF GOD BECAUSE OF ORIGINAL SIN. MOST PASTORS IN AMERICA NEVER PUT ORIGINAL SIN ON THE FRONT BURNER!!!WHY WOULD THAT BE WHEN JESUS HIMSELF PUTS ORIGINAL SIN ON THE FRONT BURNER?JESUS GETS UP IN THE FACE OF THE PHARISEES, THOSE WHO ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN CLEANSING THE OUTSIDE OF THEIR CUP, BUT NOT THE INSIDE OF THE CUP (ORIGINAL SIN) FIRST AND THEN THE OUTSIDE OF THE CUP (ACTS OF SIN) WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CLEAN. MT. 23: [25] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.[26] Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup(ORIGINAL SIN) and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.[27] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.[28] Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.JESUS ALSO GETS UP IN THE FACE OF THE PHARISEES BECAUSE THEY HAVE OMITTED WEIGHTIER MANNERS OF:​LAW​JUDGMENT​MERCY (MERCY CANNOT BE DETACHED FROM FEAR)​FAITHMT. 23: [23] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: theseLET US REVIEW:MARTIN LUTHER TIES TOGETHER IN HIS ROYAL ROAD THAT THE NEW CREATION MUST WALK IN THE FEAR OF GOD BECAUSE OF ORIGINAL SIN AND MUST WALK IN THE MERCY OF GOD BECAUSE OF ORIGINALMartin Luther writes:Those at the right, who have rid themselves of the fear of God, sin through their sense of security, and those at the left, who have given up the mercy of God, sin through their despair. These do not know that this internal sin(Original Sin) cannot possibly be taken away in this life, but this is precisely what they want. The former, on their do not know that it is to those who do not fear God that this sin is imputed. Both, then, do not know this sin and do not properly attend to it. As I have said, they are concerned only about actual sin, believing that it must be purged out so that one can become pure. And if this does not happen, those at the left think that they are lost. But the others at the right believe themselves saved because they regard themselves as pure, while in fact, it is impossible for anyone to be without any actual sin so long as that radical and original sin remains.ROYAL ROADThis, therefore, is the Royal Road and the way of peace in the spirit: really to know and to hate sin and so to walk in the fear of God, lest he count it and permit it to rule in us, and at the same time to pray for his mercy that he free us from it and not impute it to us.
