I read some verses in the Bible this week and they are stuck in my head...Romans 5:6-9:
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
I don't think I fully grasp all this. I don't think I fully grasp God's love for me. I don't think I fully grasp what his death for my sin really does for me. I think I get a lot of it, but not all of it. I don't think or live that way, but God does. Here's what is stuck: I am powerless to do anything about my sin. I can't get rid of it on my own. I simply need forgiveness. And God gave his life for me to have that. I am so grateful.
I hope it keep sticking.
