(Romans 3:23-24 NKJV) 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…
We have all sinned. It’s something that every single human being ever born and who will ever be born has in common. None of us can claim otherwise.
But even in this apparent failure of humanity, God has rescued us! In His infinite wisdom, mercy and compassion, God chose to walk the earth in human form and redeem each and every one of us.
He has set us free from death by giving us eternal life.
Every single one of us needs to understand this; that we will fail and we will sin, but we don’t need to be depressed or condemned about it.
We need to ask for forgiveness, turn from our sin and move on. It doesn’t matter if we have failed multiple times. If we truly want to make it right, God will pick us back up and brush the dirt off of us and help us get back on track.
So don’t beat yourself up over the times when you’ve slipped and made mistakes. Give it to God. Let Him take it from you. Keep looking forward and upward.
We have been justified freely by His grace.
