Romans 3:23-24 (NKJV) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus…<\/p>\n

God is a God of grace and of mercy. His word teaches us this repeatedly.<\/p>\n

Sometimes this can be difficult for us to fully understand.<\/p>\n

First, it is hard for us to comprehend that we can be forgiven for the things we have done.<\/p>\n

Second, it is sometimes difficult for us to understand scripture and the way it is worded.<\/p>\n

Why? because we are spiritually dead before we trust Christ as our savior and redeemer, and the Holy Spirit has not yet opened our understanding.<\/p>\n

Words like \u201cjustified\u201d and \u201credemption\u201d are often unknown to us even as the Holy Spirit draws us to God.<\/p>\n

Despite our lack of understanding, our spiritual ignorance, His wooing causes us to grasp the fact that we are lost and in need of forgiveness.<\/p>\n

It is in this persistent drawing of our heart to Him that we begin to recognize our lost condition.<\/p>\n

We begin to see our sinfulness. We understand that we are without hope, and that He is the only true source of hope.<\/p>\n

We begin to understand that we are walking in darkness, and that He is the one true Light.<\/p>\n

And we become aware that the blood of Christ is the only thing that can cleanse us and make us new.<\/p>\n

And by His grace and mercy He does just that; makes us brand new!<\/p>\n

By His blood we are not only washed. We are redeemed!<\/p>\n

The price of our sins is paid for by the blood of Jesus as we understand our lost condition and put our faith in Him.<\/p>\n

He gives His mercy freely, at no cost, to anyone who asks.<\/p>\n

And we are justified, made worthy to stand before Him without shame, by His grace (undeserved favor).<\/p>\n

There is power in the blood of Christ that none of us will ever fully comprehend. But that power is there, nonetheless.<\/p>\n

And the redemption offered by His blood He will not refuse to give to any who will sincerely seek it.<\/p>\n
