This morning I was working my way through Romans again.
Such a rich text
So full of teaching about my heart (Adamic nature) ref Rom 5:17
and the Law revealing my sin ref Rom 3:20
and Grace of Faith in Jesus Removing my sin. ref Rom 1:16,17
One thought that continues to pop up
is the obvious theme.
Sin
and everything else is to deal with that mess....
I find it amazing that we have
- 'theological' discussions to justify some sin
- Social experiments to normalize some sin
- Frog in the boiling water problems with sin (just getting used to it)
but the problems actually don't go away
until I face my sin
head on:
- I sin
- I need Jesus
His death for payment
His life for the possibility to live as He meant me to. ref Rom 4:25
Lord Jesus,
Your rescue plan
discussed
debated
disregarded
but seldom
appropriated.....
Thank You for
saving me
from...
me.
Yes.
