Zero Defects – An Industry Standard

Ephesians 2:10 (King James Version)
10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good
works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

There is talk in many industries about Zero Defects. That means no,
mistakes, no bad parts in the manufacturing of their products. In
statistics if a manufacturing process is capable, this means that the
variation in which the part is made will vary in dimension, etc, but
that the process of manufacturing will only make about two or three
bad parts per million. But now these companies are asking for ZERO
DEFECTS!! No Mistakes, No Bad Parts!! Well, God has been ahead of
them all along! God created us, our New Creation, In Christ when He
raised Jesus from the dead, and GOD DOESN'T MAKE NO JUNK!!! Our New
Birth, our redemption is a perfect thing, because we were Created In
Christ Jesus, and Jesus is the spotless perfect Son of God. No
wonder we can do good Works! God has forordained this perfect New
Creation this perfect redemption to do Good Works and that we could
and should walk in them. If we could, we would, in other words when
you find out what your redemption is and who you are In Christ you
will be able to walk in the things of God, remember the sin problem
has been settled.

Romans 6
1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may
abound?
2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer
therein?
3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death?
4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like
as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body
of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7For he that is dead is freed from sin.
The sin problem was settled because we died with Christ to sin. We
were baptized placed in union withHis death in our redemption, our
old man, or self was crucified with Jesus when He was made sin for us
(2 Cor 5:21) and when He was made alive in spirit, we were created In
Christ then and went on victorious over satan the lord of death (Heb
2:14, Col 2:13,15). Notice that it says to"Know", have a deep
spiritual knowledge of these things. This comes by confessing and
meditating on these things so that they become settled in your
reckoning. To think that some "So-Called", Lousy preacher who didn't
do his homework would brow beat you and call you a sinner, when God
shows you that you're His workmanship and dead to sin is a modern day
tragedy in the church. Tragedies need happy endings, so meditate on
this study and know since "You Died", with Christ, you are free from
sin, and Now Live with Him, since we died with Him we live with Him
in His Resurrection Zoë, Life!
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live
with him:
9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death
hath no more dominion over him.
10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth,
he liveth unto God.
11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but
alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should
obey it in the lusts thereof.
13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness
unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from
the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the
law, but under grace.
Sin shall not have dominion over us, because we died with Jesus once
to sin and are alive once to God and the Heavenly places in Christ.
We are to reckon and yield are members as alive from the dead,
animated by Jesus' and the heavenly life.
15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but
under grace? God forbid.
16Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey,
his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness?
17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have
obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of
righteousness.
I believe this little side excursion will be beneficial to you. Sin
doesn't have dominion over God's products. Did you ever see somebody
in a store that doesn't know a thing about what they are selling and
practically destroy, the product when they are showing it to you and
should be fired. Well, sad to say so many preachers don't really
have any business handling God's products, because they don't know
how they work and ought to either read the manual correctly or get
another job. God's product is us, a New Creation, and as I said
before, God doesn't make no junk!! Jesus has perfected us forever by
His sacrifice and has sanctified us. To get a little ahead of
myself, some manufacturers are so confident with their product, they
allow the perspective buyer to come in and audit, or watch each step
or operation in their production process to see how well the process
runs and give the buyer confidence that the product will not have any
defects and enough quantity will be able to be made for the customer.
But getting back to the New Creation, lets see what God has to say
about His children, created In Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Public Domain

17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

1. We are New Creatures, children of God and not sorry sinners that
need to be brow beaten and intimidated into serving God. Anyone
using a lot of fear into influencing God's people don't know Jesus or
the Father, or about Redemption, we were created in love, and the
Father Cares for us as a loving Heavenly Father.

Hebrews 10
1For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the
very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they
offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the
worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins
oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for
ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are
sanctified.
2. He has made perfect, and 3. Holy.
Paul says here the Law and sacrifices couldn't make them perfect, but
by Jesus One sacrifice, He has perfected us forever and Sanctified
us, made us Holy. So say it,
He has made me perfect, and sanctified, made me Holy, I have a
perfect Redemption and I am a perfect New Creation!!
16This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,
saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their
minds will I write them;
17And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for
sin.
Our Redemption, includes the forgiveness, or Remission of sin. The
Old sins, the Old Man and spiritual nature has been blotted out, it
Has Passed away In The New Creation!!
4. He has made us Righteous, the Righteousness of God In Him (2 Cor
5:21)
Romans 3:21-26 (King James Version)

21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Like Adams fall effected all men, Jesus method of making us righteous
was purchased for all men. This is unto all and upon all who
believe. Now that is what is called Good news. We have been made
righteous freely, through Jesus. So next time someone wants to toss
you about with their winds of Doctrine you give them some good news,
tell them you are righteous as a free gift through Jesus.
23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
All sinned in Adam, and all were made Righteous through faith In
Jesus.
24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is
in Christ Jesus:
25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his
blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that
are past, through the forbearance of God;
26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might
be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
God's Righteousness or way of making man Righteous is revealed in the
Death and Resurrection of Jesus. Remember I said men have Confidence
in what they do, how much more does God have in the Work of the
Cross, and He actually wants us to go through each step or phase of
what Jesus did for us on the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus. The
knowledge of what Jesus did an our Identification with Jesus, helps
us to get the most out of our redemption and helps renew our minds so
we can do the good works that Jesus ordained for us to do.
Ephesians 1:5-7 (King James Version)
5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus
Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us
accepted in the beloved.
7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of
sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Now since God has declare His work In Christ a perfect work and that
we are righteous, Holy, perfect, complete because of what Jesus did,
then we must be "Acceptable", to Him. You wouldn't have "Zero
Defects", and then arbitrarily Reject the product, IT has To Be
Acceptable! Well we are Accepted in the Beloved, In Jesus!!

Now since, (I won't say, if) God has made us perfect, complete In
Christ, righteous Holy then God accept us, He sure doesn't reject us,
as many would try to assert, or about to be rejected at any time as
others would assert, why would God reject what he so painstakingly
redeemed and made new, and paid the price of His Son to, save and
Redeem. Remember, "God don't make no junk!!" I personally believe,
like in manufacturing, there is too much money and power in sorting
through and making parts and products suspect and have to be judged
as either acceptable, or rejectable, run by vast amounts of little
companies that gain their wealth and power by sitting and sorting
through manufactured goods, to see whether they are suitable for use
or not. To have a company, and to have a Church that believes
in "Zero Defects", would put a lot of people out of business, these
people would have to find something else to do with their lives,
besides sitting around and rejecting God's products. So that is
quite possibly the reason that this message of God's complete,
perfect redemption in Christ has not been universally embraced,
because we have so many that have ordained themselves in the business
of falsely judging and rejecting God's products, because they won't
actually take the time to find out how God redeemed us in Jesus, and
it would put them out of the doubt and unbelief business, they would
have to start believing and confessing these things as true for
themselves and others and then have to live in faith like the rest of
us instead of sorting through us like we were a bunch of parts in a
bin.

God is so confident in the work of Jesus on the Cross, that before
you even get saved, you have to believe in the Lordship of Jesus and
that God sent His Son and raised Him from the Dead to take away your
sin and old nature and to give you life before you receive the
manifestation of that work. That is what faith is, believing with
confidence that what God has said what He has promised in His Word
and through Jesus, is worthy of your trust, confidence and your
reliance and that you will obey God's good advice about what he has
said and wants you to do, because he is a loving Heavenly Father.

Romans 10:5-17 (King James Version)
5For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That
the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say
not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring
Christ down from above:)
7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ
again from the dead.)
8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in
thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be
ashamed.
12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the
same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and
how shall they hear without a preacher?
15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written,
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace,
and bring glad tidings of good things!
16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord,
who hath believed our report?
17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
