For Wednesday, August 17, 2022:
John 1:17 NLT: “For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ.”
God has always been faithful in his covenants with mankind. We are the ones with shortcomings. Even solid believers are riddled with character defects.
It was time for a new plan, a New Covenant. In the past, the emphasis had been on the Law given to Moses on Mt. Sinai. But in the New Covenant, God sent his Son Jesus to earth on a mission trip, to forgive sin and thereby rescue mankind. Believers are forgiven and redeemed by God’s unfailing love, faithfulness and the work Jesus did on the cross.
This “unfailing love” was taught during Jesus’ time walking alongside us. It is the hallmark of Christianity. We are saved by grace through faith and God’s unfailing love. His desire is that none would perish!
Thankfully, God re-ordered his priorities!
