Bible Verse of The Day – 7-24-24

Romans 3:23-24 (NKJV) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus…

God is a God of grace and of mercy. His word teaches us this repeatedly.

Sometimes this can be difficult for us to fully understand.

First, it is hard for us to comprehend that we can be forgiven for the things we have done.

Second, it is sometimes difficult for us to understand scripture and the way it is worded.

Why? because we are spiritually dead before we trust Christ as our savior and redeemer, and the Holy Spirit has not yet opened our understanding.

Words like “justified” and “redemption” are often unknown to us even as the Holy Spirit draws us to God.

Despite our lack of understanding, our spiritual ignorance, His wooing causes us to grasp the fact that we are lost and in need of forgiveness.

It is in this persistent drawing of our heart to Him that we begin to recognize our lost condition.

We begin to see our sinfulness. We understand that we are without hope, and that He is the only true source of hope.

We begin to understand that we are walking in darkness, and that He is the one true Light.

And we become aware that the blood of Christ is the only thing that can cleanse us and make us new.

And by His grace and mercy He does just that; makes us brand new!

By His blood we are not only washed. We are redeemed!

The price of our sins is paid for by the blood of Jesus as we understand our lost condition and put our faith in Him.

He gives His mercy freely, at no cost, to anyone who asks.

And we are justified, made worthy to stand before Him without shame, by His grace (undeserved favor).

There is power in the blood of Christ that none of us will ever fully comprehend. But that power is there, nonetheless.

And the redemption offered by His blood He will not refuse to give to any who will sincerely seek it.
