Verses: Romans 3 : 9 - 20
My thoughts about the verses:
Amazingly people feel that they can do enough so that they can get to Heaven. They compare their lives with others and decide that they are doing better than those around them. The assumption is that I do not do the real bad sins therefor I am good enough. Yet, God's stance is much different from ours. God says that no one has gone without sin.
God does not compare one sin to be worse than another. Lying and murder are equal in God's eyes. Judging others and stealing from others are sins. There is no grade in what sin is worse so if you have committed any sin then you have gone against God. Sins are the act of going against the will of God no matter what the sin is.
The law is set up for us to follow. The very first commandment is to love your God and not put anything before God. So if you put anything before God you have sinned. There is no one that can justify what they do when it comes to going against God. the fact is the law lays down the ground work that leads to the need for Jesus in your hearts.
I really am amazed how often people think that this sin or that sin is so bad that you must be punished. Yet, what happens is that they forget that sin is just sin. It doesn't matter what sin you commit the punishment is the same. The sin you commit is the separation of yourself from God. There is no punishment that can be worse than damaging your relationship with God.
Yet, there is a way to rebuild that relationship. God gave us the law so that we could see that we went against the will of God. The action of rebuilding is very easy. We need to accept that Jesus died to remove your sins. We have to understand that the cleansing that comes from the sacrifice of God washes away anything that you have ever done. God does not see the blemishes and flaws any longer instead what God sees is a pure heart.
Prayer:
Dear God thank you for building a relationship with us. Thank you for sending Jesus to cleanse us of our sins. We praise you for loving us even when we do not deserve it. We ask you to come into our hearts. We offer our life to you and ask that you help us grow in our relationship with you. Help us to always remember that we need you in our lives. That without the Sacrifice of Jesus we would have never been able to have the relationship you desired because of the sin in our life. In the name of the Risen Savior we pray. Amen
Questions:
Have you truly asked God to come in to your life? Have you realized that without Jesus you would not be able to have a relationship with our Creator? Are you willing to turn over all the things both small and large that you have done over to the Savior? Are you willing to share the good news with the world?
