I Will Always Only Be....

Jeremiah 10:23 

"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps."

I will always only be...a sinner.

Rescued from the eternal consequences of my sin against my Creator God by a Mighty Savior.

Saved only by His mercy & grace.

I will never produce a righteousness that can commend myself to His near presence.

Not for all eternity.

I need a perfect righteousness that is external to myself, for I cannot offer my own.

I cannot purchase it, though I possessed all the wealth of the universe.

I do not deserve it.

The truth is, I deserve only condemnation & the fearful judgment of eternal Hell.

Thank Almighty God, that He has provided all I need.

All I need.

All I need, in the Person & finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Freely.

As a gift.

And the more I think upon this, the more I love Him.

Thank you, Lord. Thank You....

And I will say this for all eternity.

Romans 3:22

"Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe...."
