Encouraging Thoughts On Justice and Grace During Lent:



There are those who actually believe,
That because of the greatness of their sin,
As measured by a human perspective of “Justice,”
That they are irretrievably, beyond the Grace of God.
Conversely,
There are those who actually believe
That despite the greatness of their sin
As measured by a human perspective of “Grace,”
That they are permanently beyond the “Justice” of God.
The truth is:
It is impossible to out-sin God’s Grace
And:
It is impossible for God’s Justice not to be satisfied.
So: God’s Justice, is Satisfied, Completely, By God’s Grace, In Christ.
To Believe Our Sin Is Greater Than God’s Grace
Diminishes The Sacrifice of Christ
To Believe Our Sin Is Irrelevant To God’s Justice
Mocks The Sacrifice of Christ.
What makes anything possible is,
Jesus Christ, Son of God, The Perfect Sacrifice,
Punished On The Cross and Cut Off From The Father,
As Atonement For Our Sin, For All Humankind.
Therefore, We Are Called By Christ,
To Not Only Be Saved From Fleshly Depravity and Brokenness
But To Be Holy as He is Holy as Well.
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.
2 Corinthians 2:14
