Gratitude!!!

Romans 3:23-26
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."

At one point in our live's, we were all slaves to sin.
Nothing good awaited us if we would have died in our sins. (Apart from Christ!)
Except God's Wrath & Judgment!

"BUT GOD!!!!!"
"GOD HIMSELF!"
"GAVE HIMSELF!"
"TO SAVE US!"
"FROM HIMSELF!"

"THIS IS TRULY GRACE BESTOWED UPON US!!!"

Sometimes we forget or maybe don't truly realize what God has done for us.
God's anger is aroused by evil.
God's wrath was set against us due to our evil deeds.

But God, in His mercy, bestowed His grace upon us.
Now, when we put our faith in Jesus, God's wrath against us is appeased!
Because Jesus Christ has paid our debt!
A debt we could never repay!

"THEREFORE, LET US BE GRATEFUL TO GOD!"
"NOT JUST FOR THE TEMPORARY BLESSINGS OF TODAY!"
But more importantly;
"FOR THE ETERNAL STATUS WE NOW HAVE IN HIS SIGHT BECAUSE OF WHAT HE HAS DONE!"
