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!

Rom 5:7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a (exceptionally) good person, someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

There isn’t one of us who has done it all right! That is why this is so beautiful! None of us have earned or deserved the goodness of God. God’s love and grace for us are beyond comprehension!

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! It is by faith alone that we can tap into this staggering favor of God! God’s provision of Jesus and his blood is the only acceptable payment for us to be righteous in God’s sight! Oh, how freeing! How blissfully wonderful!

I pray that your spiritual eyes will clearly see this amazing truth! He loves you and me intensely! In fact, outside of God, no one has ever known, thought of, or experienced love like His! Yes! His love is for you and me and everyone you meet! Don’t keep quiet; let’s tell about it today! People need to know about God and his amazing love for them! This I know for sure; we are all the same— not one of us deserves him! He came because he loves all of us…

YEAH, ALL OF US!
