Romans 5:20
"Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,"
NKJV
God has an infinite amount of grace and mercy available to each of us.
We allow 24,000 people to die from hunger or hunger related causes every day; that's one thousand an hour or one every 3.6 seconds. Not counting individual murders, but counting war and genocide in the last 100 years, we've killed 200 million... and it doesn't stop there; as time continues so does sin and death. We all own a part in this. This is the world God died for. But God...
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." NKJV
The Bible talks about God's grace abounding. There are a lot of people in this world and each one of us needs every last bit of God's grace. We should be very thankful that His grace does not have volume or measure; it's unlimited. He pours out grace, He pours out mercy, and He does not empty. His grace is available to everyone who is willing to accept it. God will never say, "Nope, that's it. You're all done. You had your share of grace and you squandered it." No friend, in contrast, He stands with arms outstretched, waiting. Have you accepted God's grace? Will you? If you would like to do this right now, please pray something like this...
Dear Father,
Thank You for loving me. Thank You for Your grace and mercy. I confess to You that I am a sinner. Lord Jesus, please forgive me for my sins. Thank You for forgiving me. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins and defeating death. Please give me the power to live for You all the days of my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Living to tell what He died to say,
