ROMANS 5:20-21
The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
What is your greatest sin? Which sin are you desperately trying to quit? What sin do you indulge in, even though you know it harms you and those around you? Which sin has its tentacles wrapped tightly around you? Which one haunts you and leaves you feeling spiritually exhausted?
Take a moment to reflect on these questions.
Don't worry; I'm not asking you to share it. I want you to focus on it. You see, the more you wrestle with your sin, the more you will appreciate God's unrelenting grace that pursues and covers you. This grace comes without strings attached or conditions to meet. It is a free gift! It is God's love and grace that compelled Jesus to carry the cross and die for you.
The next time you think that God won't forgive you for your sin, remember the grace revealed in the cross.
(What is God telling you to do? Write it down!)
- PRAY -
Pause and pray. Pray over the Scripture and listen to what God is saying to you. Celebrate God's presence and hand your requests over to Him.
