"The Name of God is Blasphemed Because of You" as it is written...

[Mr. M]

Romans Two:

23 You who make your boast in the law,

do you dishonor God through breaking the law? 

24 For “the name of God is blasphemed

among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.

When your righteousness is by Grace through Faith,

and not based on any personal boast, this does not

change the rest of the instruction.

Everyone must ATQ:

"do you dishonor God through breaking the law?"

As it is written:

Isaiah Fifty-Two:

5 Now therefore, what have I here, says the Lord,
That My people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them
Make them wail, says the Lord,
And My name is blasphemed continually every day.
6 Therefore My people shall know My name;
Therefore they shall know in that day
That I am He who speaks:
‘Behold, it is I.’

The people of God are being called upon

to remember the Name of the Lord

in the acknowledgment of our infirmities.

Psalm Seventy-Seven:

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious?

hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will

remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

11 I will remember the works of the Lord:

surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

12 I will meditate also of all thy work,

and talk of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:

who is so great a God as our God?

The Sanctuary: the place where the Holy Spirit

ministers in bringing "all to Remembrance".

Just now, Mr. M said:

Isaiah Fifty-Two:

1 Awake, awake!
Put on your strength, O Zion;
Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city!
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
Shall no longer come to you.
2 Shake yourself from the dust, arise;
Sit down, O Jerusalem!
Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion!

3 For thus says the Lord:

You have sold yourselves for nothing,
And you shall be redeemed without money.

4 For thus says the Lord God:

My people went down at first
Into Egypt to dwell there;
Then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I here,” says the Lord,
That My people are taken away for nothing?...

5 Now therefore, what have I here, says the Lord,
That My people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them
Make them wail, says the Lord,
And My name is blasphemed continually every day.
6 Therefore My people shall know My name;
Therefore they shall know in that day
That I am He who speaks:
‘Behold, it is I.’

7 How beautiful upon the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who proclaims peace,
Who brings glad tidings of good things,
Who proclaims salvation,
Who says to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”
8 Your watchmen shall lift up their voices,
With their voices they shall sing together;
For they shall see eye to eye
When the Lord brings back Zion.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together,
You waste places of Jerusalem!
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has made bare His holy arm
In the eyes of all the nations;
And all the ends of the earth shall see
The salvation of our God.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:

who is so great a God as our God?

14 You are the God who does wonders;
You have declared Your strength among the peoples.
15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were afraid;
The depths also trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound;
Your arrows also flashed about.
18 The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was in the sea,
Your path in the great waters,
And Your footsteps were not known.
20 You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Romans Three:

27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded.

By what law? Of works?

No, but by the law of faith. 

28 Therefore we conclude that a man

is justified by faith apart from

the deeds of the law. 

29 Or is He the God of the Jews only? 

Is He not also the God of the Gentiles?

Yes, of the Gentiles also, 

30 since there is one God who will

justify the circumcised by faith and

the uncircumcised through faith. 

31 Do we then make void the law

through faith? Certainly not!

On the contrary, we establish the law.
