This morning I was reading Romans
and was reminded that even though
God supplies a way to Him
through a substitute sinless one
in my place
it is still grace
for the 'judge' to allow a substitute....
The 'judge' must want to release the guilty one
in order for the substitute to be an 'option'.
Wow.
Yes, I realize that God is the substitute
AND
Judge.....
but it still boggles my mind
that He works the Law
to allow the 'loophole'
for a substitute to be allowed
in the first place.
and accepting
by Faith in Him
is the only response required...
wow.
All Grace.
He supplies the substitute
He chooses His own Son to pay the price
instead of
'guilty me' paying it (while I was His enemy)
see Romans 5:20-6:4
Lord,
I am struck again
by this abundant
Grace
that makes allowance for me to be
released from the penalty of my sin.
Thank You Lord for
Your Grace
towards me.
Thank You,
Lord.
