One of the greatest misunderstandings about Christianity is the belief that God is waiting for us to finally get our act together before He loves us, accepts us, or uses us.
But that's never been the message of the gospel.
The law reveals God's holiness and our inability to meet His perfect standard. Left to ourselves, none of us could ever be good enough.
And that's exactly why Jesus came.
Romans 5:8 says, "But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."
Not after we got better.
Not after we cleaned up our lives.
Not after we finally measured up.
While we were still sinners.
The fact that we could never save ourselves magnifies the incredible love of a God who chose to save us anyway.
When we realize how hopeless we were, we begin to understand how great His grace really is.
