Not As We Deserve...
"He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities." Psalms 103:10
Praise God He doesn't treat us as we deserve! The Bible teaches that the wages of sin is death! But, God in His love and mercy made a way out for us. Through Jesus Christ we have forgiveness of sin! Big sin, little sin, it doesn't matter, when we come to Jesus He takes them all! And the incredible thing is, He never changes His mind about us! Every time we make a mistake and sin, as we so often do, Jesus is right there keeping us clean and pure! God doesn't keep a record of our sins, as a matter of fact, the Bible says, "as far as the east is from the west has He removed our transgressions". The apostle Paul makes an incredible statement when he writes, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" The answer is "no one" nor "no-thing"! We have received God's saving grace by faith in Jesus Christ, and we continue in that grace the same way, by FAITH! Whether you are having a good day, or you've blown it, know this, God has not changed His mind about you! There is only one way to be totally free from condemnation, and that is by receiving the saving grace of God through Jesus Christ, and that grace comes only by true faith in Jesus!
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
