Rom.8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

It is so hard for most Christian's to think in such terms of being worthy enough for Christ Jesus himself to make intercession for them. On the other hand, it is most offensives to hear Christian's speak about being so good and worthy that Christ has nothing better to do but justify their bad conduct in lack of goodness, and modesty.

What both groups fail to understand is, it is not about them, what does that mean? It is not about their personal worthiness, nor goodness, moreover, they need to thank the Lord for that. It is about God's goodness and Christ Jesus righteousness that Christ Jesus makes intercession for them to our Father Yahweh. If it were about us, that is, our goodness and worthiness, the state of the new heavens and earth would be a little more than land of babel, where each person speak babel by laws of the flesh constantly promoting their own self-right-way (righteousness) as god's worthy of personal salvation.

James 3:8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God. 3:10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

Where people would honor themselves with degrees of goodness putting themselves above others, while at the same time putting others down for lack of goodness in some area their of lives, where colleges would be set up giving honors to the top intellects placing them in the highest place in heaven, while, degrading those with lesser intellect. In other words, this is the foolish of fallen mankind in sin, but it is not the glory of God.

James 4:16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

The glory of God exist in His Son Christ Jesus who came to earth as a lowly person, poor, from a common family who then humble himself under the mighty hand of God to redeem the small and the great from sin and death. God did consult with humans and their understanding of laws of sin as too who would be worthy to redeem mankind, or that debate would still being raging into eternity without let up or peace.

What God did do is speak truth, and spirit through the Word of life Jesus Christ telling mankind every where to repent of their sins and accept the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. God did not honor any man or woman above the blood of Christ Jesus for redemption. In this contexts we can come to a proper modest and humble understanding of God's love, and His provision for our salvation in the passover lamb of Jesus Christ, and none other. We can then view ourselves in proper context of the precious value of Christ Jesus life, which gives us life, and a standing before God so that Christ may make intercession based on the value of his precious blood for us.

Revelation 4:11 "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One,{TR omits "and God, the Holy One,"} to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!"
