10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. ~ Romans 5:10
We were NOT all good people. We have all gone astray. We have all done some horrible and awful things against our God.
- We have betrayed Him
- We have let Him down
- We’ve forsaken Him
- And we have committed spiritual adultery against Him
But He chose to overlook all of our faults and all of our transgressions against Him, and He chose to honor us by dying for us, and now He expects us to do the same to others.
He could have said, “It is too much; I refuse to pay the price for them; let them die for themselves.”
Then what would we do? We would not have a leg to stand on, so to speak. There would be no hope for us at all. Absolutely none!
Paul looked at who he was formally, and what he saw was not a pretty sight. So, he stopped looking at himself and looked to Christ. It is only Christ that can change us. It is only Christ that can redeem us, save us from our sin, and redeem us from our past.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Allow Christ To Redeem.
