Grace for your spirit October 2, 2008

Because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets. Romans 3:20-21

People are often uncomfortable talking about sin and righteousness. If we live by the Law, we have the knowledge of sin, and that makes us feel guilty. If we understand that God sent His righteousness to us as a free gift, and that free gift makes us righteous, we know we are forgiven. No one wants to talk about the things that condemn them. Maybe that’s the reason why so many don’t understand why the gospel is good news. Good news does not leave us guilty, but to give us the freedom of God’s righteousness. That is really good news. Enjoy the forgiveness and share the good news with someone today.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
