WOW…. GREAT SONG!!
“These hands are guilty, ashamed of what I’ve done, what I’ve become. These hands are dirty, I dare not lift them up to the Holy One.” But Jesus says that I am free. “How can it be?”
How can it be that we are made free by the suffering and death of Jesus Christ? We are all invited, not forced, to come to God through believing that Jesus Christ gave His life so we can have ours.
John 1: 12 … All we have to do is receive, and believe the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, repent and turn from sin, to become a child of God. (John 8: 11) Then rise to a new life in Jesus!
I am so thankful for the grace to be free of my sins. This doesn’t give me the freedom to pervert grace and what Jesus died for…. Sin… A lot of people I’ve heard say, “Oh I could do and believe how I want to, God understands me, all I have to do is ask God for forgiveness.” That is perverting the grace of God. Maybe you need to understand God more. Hosea 4: 6, The bible tells us that suffering would be because of our own lack of knowledge. Hebrews 12: 9-11, It is God’s way of disciplining us to try and get our attention. We can’t just do what we want. You can’t do whatever you want when you are growing up as a child either. Every parent, out of love, has rules to live by to protect their child from harm. When we don’t listen, why is it we wished we did, because what follows is punishment.
1 John 2: 1, … “I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin we have an advocate with the Father-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.” Just because we know that there is forgiveness through Jesus Christ, doesn’t mean that gives us a “get out of jail free card.” God offered up His Son as a gift for the freedom of our sins. We have a choice to receive this truth. God will never take your decision lightly, should you choose to pervert this truth.
When you understand the gift of grace, and receive it in your heart, soul, and mind, it sets our hearts against sin. You will never doubt again that God doesn’t love you. When you look at the cross, you will see only grace. You will be lost for words, and so lost in love.
God’s grace is AMAZING! So good that we don’t have to be ashamed anymore. “How can it be?” Only by the grace of God!...... Romans 8: 1, “there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”
