Sinner Saved by Grace

How do you respond when you are judged unjustly? Psalm 17 is a good chapter to read as a guideline for how to best respond to this situation. I will share my insights in a video...

There is one truth that applies to all and offends all. Would you happen to know what that is? You are guilty of sin; all of us are. When confronted with this truth, no matter how offended you are, you cannot come up with an answer that will clear you from this. The best answer that anyone can come up with, at least, is that when compared to others, they are okay.

Paul quoted this truth in Romans 3:23: " For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." What Paul said here renders our best answer useless because our goodness is not measured based on other people but on God's glory. Reading further into the book of Romans, you will see the price you must pay because of sin: death, eternal separation from the presence of God (Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord)

This truth may be hard to accept; you may try to deny it, but it remains true. You and I are guilty, judged by God's standard. However, Paul also shared the solution, the most powerful conjunction 'but' in verse above, which reveals God's incredible grace, the gift of eternal life through Christ Jesus.

Repent, turn your back on your sins, and surrender your life to Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Live for Christ, for God's glory and honor alone.
