Romans 5:6-8

“For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.  For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.  But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Something to remember as we celebrate Jesus rising from the grave.  We don’t earn His grace.  We definitely don’t deserve His grace.  He gave it to us, while we were yet sinners.

I have been hearing a lot of teaching on this lately.  It is important that we realize no matter how much we do, how much we pray, how much we worship, we are not doing it to earn or secure our salvation.  That part of the deal has already been made.  He gave everything, we gave nothing.

What we do after we accept God’s grace is an expression of love and commitment, obedience to such an amazing God who would sacrifice His only son, while we were yet sinners.

Happy Easter!
