Romans 3:23-26

23 For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. 24 Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. 25 For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us. God was being entirely fair and just when he did not punish those who sinned in former times. 26 And he is entirely fair and just in this present time when he declares sinners to be right in his sight because they believe in Jesus. (NLT)

 

What more can be said? These verses say it all. God is a gracious and glorious God. We are all sinners and we have all sinned against God. No one is exempt. But God is a fair and just God, not wanting any to perish, but providing a way back home to where we belong. And that way is through believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. Forgiveness comes by believing that Jesus came to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God’s anger against our sins through the shed blood of His son Jesus. Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

When we say, “That’s not fair!” what we really are saying is, “I did not get my way.” But what did God say? That He will give us what we need, to obey His commandments and to give Him all the glory. By this He will bless your life and make you a blessing in other people’s lives. Be a blessing and share Jesus with someone today.
