YEAH… ALL OF US!
Come on – tell it like it is! You know, just like me, you don't deserve it! We have all done it wrong and deserved punishment! But because of God’s great love for us, our mistakes and failures are paid for! This is amazing!
Rom 5:7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while WE were still sinners.
There isn’t one of us who have done it right! That Is why this is so beautiful! None of us have earned or deserved the goodness of God. Romans 11 gives us a beautiful insight into this.
Rom 11:30-36 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
Doxology
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
There are no good works that can make you right with God or get you into heaven! We all tap into this staggering favor by faith, and faith alone. God’s provision of Jesus and his blood is the only acceptable payment for us to be right! This is truly amazing! Do you see it? He loves you and me intensely! Yes – us sinners! Don’t keep quiet, let's tell about it today! People need to know about God and his amazing love for them! We are all the same- not one of us deserves him! He came because he loves all of us…
