Verse of the Day ~ January 25, 2012

Romans 3:10-12, 20-25 ~ As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aisde; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one." Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jeus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously commited.

We are all dirty, rotten sinners. The law cannot make us right. Everything we say, think, or do we can't take back. We can deny it but we can never take it back. But just because you can't take it back doesn't mean you can't be forgiven. "...because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously commited." God completely covers all of our sin. This doesn't mean that we can sin openly because God will cover it for us. All sin has consequences. But God is ready and willing to forgive us every time we sin. All we have to do is ask. We need to constantly strive to be like Christ. We can never become exactly like Christ because we sin. We're imperfect. But Christ is perfect. He never sinned and yet He's the One who already paid the price for our sins. Next time you mess up don't get discouraged. God is always standing with open arms to forgive you. He will never turn you away. I hope that all made sense to y'all:) Have a great day! :)
