Before the altar, part 16

If this is true and I, and others like me, am incapable of holiness, how do I reach that point where I can join with others who are also in the same situations as I? How do I become a member of the royal priesthood that Peter describes in 1 Peter 2:5-9? Can I earn it? No. Adam proved that so did his descendants. There is nothing I can do to work my way in heaven, no way to get credit for what I do. In Romans 5 and 6, Paul describes what is done so that I may be one of God's and that I may be in His house. While sin entered the world through Adam, God sent Jesus to show us the way out of this sin. And Jesus' blood covers us, like a blanket. Those who have done the Father's Will, as Jesus did the Father's Will, will be saved. It is the Father's Will that I put on Jesus in baptism and that through baptism I experience death, burial and resurrection of Christ and have put Him on. In return, I've been promised His Spirit and I receive it upon baptism (Acts 2:38)-- that's a promise and God never goes back on His promises. So when I recieve the gift of salvation, I have put on Jesus' and God's Spirit. At His altar I have come, I am His, my old man is dead and Christ has created a new man in me. I have arisen as a baby comes from the waters of the womb. I am now His royal citizen. And in His eyes I am special, as are those of us who are also in Him. We are all equal, while our talents aren't, and while some have been created with more than others. But we are none of us considered to be more that what another man is on God's View.
