For Sunday, October 2, 2022:
Romans 3:20 NLT: “For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.”
God grades on a pass/fail system. Get everything right, you pass. Get one thing wrong, you fail. God doesn’t grade on a curve.
The Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glorious goals. ALL! But God desire was that none would perish, so he instituted a New Covenant. God’s Son Jesus would take the sin of the world to the place of the dead, and those who place their faith, hope and trust in Jesus would have their record of sin blotted out! They are forgiven! They receive salvation! They get to see heaven from the inside!
"Works” salvation – trying to earn your way into heaven – never works. But trusting in Jesus works every time!
