MAINTAINING AWE
“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” 2 Corinthians 9:15 NIV
“Holiness demands that sin be punished but mercy compels that the sinner be loved”.
This is a statement that has had me ponder sincerely Paul’s statement “the wages of sin is death”. If God ignored our sin, He would be compromising His own integrity, if He punished it as it should be, none could survive. What does He do? He comes in the fabric in which we are made as men to relate with us, and with his perfect record exchanges his perfection for our sins that have been judged with death ! [Selah]
And here is the simple story of salvation. When you accept Christ as Lord and savior, you accept the clean record as a gift, and your part is to maintain a posture of walking in it, doing your level best to extend of the same grace to others.
Let your life as a christian always be in view of this unspeakable gift, never loosing wonder or awe for no other God has gone to such great lengths to save His own creation.
Praise the Lord.
Prayer: Father I thank you for the unspeakable gift that is Christ. By your spirit, my life testifies of this grace and makes every attempt to extend it to others that your name may be gloried. I am led and governed by the law of love, in Jesus name. Amen!
