Sinners

"Are justified by his grace as a gift," Romans 3:24.

Who's justified? Sinners. That's who. Yeah. All have sinned. And all these who have sinned, all of these, have fallen short of God's glory. Not a single one of us has escaped the fact. But. Because of the redemption we have in Christ Jesus ... (he paid our ransom, right?) ... because of his redemption all are made right with God by his generosity. His grace. As a gift. A gift. A free gift. Free to us. (But not free to Jesus, right?) He paid a debt he did not owe. We owed a debt we could not pay. And how do we, us sinners, receive this free gift? By faith. By grace through faith. God's just. And. God justifies sinners. Through faith in Jesus's work.

We meet up with a brother or sister today and together we thank God for receiving Jesus's ransom and making us all right. Thank you!
