Reflection.

What is the Gospel?
"Only those who are aware of Gods wrath are amazed by Gods grace."
C. J. Mahaney

Do I know how much God hates sin? How much that I deserve His wrath? Do I lie my life like I am privileged to be born again?

God is just and my sin deserves my punishment. But Jesus made a way when there was no way for me to get to Him. I was hopeless and dead in y sins and He knew me. He chose to me on my side and defend me to the wrath of the Father. He paid for me and I did nothing.

This alone should motivate me to serve Him and live righteously. Bit that am motivated for Him to love me more. Because I can do nothing to make Him love me less or more than He does already. How can He? He sent His Son to die for me. How can I live like that wasn't enough?

I hear the accuser roar of sins that I have done. I know them all and thousands more, but God remembers none.

Twas Grace that taught me wart to fear and Grace my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear the hour that I believed.

He has done it all for me. Yet I often live like I am working for His approval. But I have it.

Jesus forgive me for not trusting you every moment. Help me to do that. Soften my heart more to you.
