short words about last week and a bit of theology conserning the finnish part of the bride

days in school have been really hectic.
so havent had time to write.
long and packed days, lectures on psychology,
social services and so on.
the word postmodern came up couple of times.
cant seem to escape it. I know we need words to
speak about things, but sometimes Im tired of them.
happy I can just live my life.

but yeah, its been great, God has been stirring me up
through the lectures.

last week dear hanna (now in south africa)
spent some time at our place. greatest to see her!
we had good discussions until about three o´clock in the morning.
our deepest theology is born around those times, we have noticed :)

talked about the word "righteous"
in the finnish language its this kind of an old word,
which doesnt actaully say anything.
the translation of it is something like "someone who is ok with God"
(like someone who is reconnected to God or something like that)
which is not a bad translation at all, and means quite a lot in itself already.

but we started to think what does the word righteous mean while talking about God.
and some of the words we would link with it are just, holy, pure and faithful.

and then started to think that yeah, maybe the fact that we are righteous in God means something more than that we are just ok with him and to him. the fact Jesus makes us righteous says also that we are pure and holy in his eyes, to him.

we finnish people do have a bad tendency of thinking little of ourselves. maybe there could be a time we start to realize our identity in Christ more and more. we are his heritage! meant to be standing in front of Him without stain, holy and blameless. Come on Jesus, seal this in me and in us!
