I can never fully elaborate the reality that everything I was, am and will become is attributed to the concept of GRACE! Nothing absolutely good in me has ever contributed to what I am now...my ability to make worthwhile decisions was based on the Word of God working in and through me...everything else are products of the old sin nature: lying, cheating, judging, maligning, just to name a few. In short...I am worthless.
But worthless as I am, God never withheld love. The world was loved by God that He was willing to give up His only begotten Son whom He is well pleased...and Jesus, the obedient Son, willingly accepted His role and offered Himself as payment for sins that He did not do. We have been enjoying in sin without considering the sacrifice Jesus made for us...that while we were yet sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US!
When we accept these two concepts: 1) We are worthless 2) we are forgiven...then we would ultimately understand our role in this lifetime. We are worthless yet forgiven...with just this phrase, lives can be changed!
