Scripture: For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. Romans 3:23-24 NLT Application: If we think about how every one of us has messed up her or himself and the whole world, we can make ourselves depressed. It's a justified penalty for willingly sinning, which all of us do. But God has given us something far better to focus on: His love. Despite our mess, God had freely given us the Way back to righteousness. When Jesus died and took away our sin, we have been given something far stronger to believe in than ourselves. Miraculously, our salvation motivates us toward living our lives as better people. Prayer: Thank You for lifting us from our own messes and cleaning us up to live lives that reflect Divine righteousness, Father. Amen. Comments are closed.
