Jesus didn't leave an IOU on the cross. He left a paid-in-full stamp on your heart!

Almost every week I answer someone who’s convinced their sins are the lone exception to God’s grace. Here’s what I tell them—maybe it’s for you, too: Paul would be in prison today for murdering Christians—yet he wrote half the New Testament. Moses killed an Egyptian in a fit of rage—yet he penned the first five books of the Bible. David arranged a soldier’s death to steal his wife—yet he gave us the Psalms. The Bible was written by ex-murderers on purpose. God is saying something: Your sins are small. Your God is huge. He has qualified you. So ask yourself: Are you obsessed with the size of your sins—or the size of your Savior? Jesus is bigger than every failure. He’s not shocked. He saw it coming. He died for it. He took it away. He remembers it no more. Still waiting for a sign that you’re okay with Him? You’ve already been spoken to: The cross—that’s His love and His finished work. The resurrection—that’s His life, now yours forever. God is speaking through Jesus. No secret message required. You are forgiven. You are qualified. You are right with God—because of Jesus. That’s the only message I dwell on every day. You should, too.

Expect more sinning under the Law, not less. Expect more godliness under grace, not less.

You can’t be any closer than united with Christ. How about letting Jesus show you how close you really are to Him!
