From Max Lucado's book "THE GIFT for all people: Thoughts on God's Great Grace":
Bounteous Grace
"God showed his love for us in this way:
Christ died for us while we were still sinners."
~~ Romans 5:8
**
"And you never again have to wonder who your father is -
you've been adopted by God and therefore an
'heir of God through Christ'."
~~ Galatians 4:7
**
Ponder the achievement of God.
He doesn't condone our sin,
Nor does He compromise His standard.
He doesn't ignore our rebellion,
Nor does He relax His demands.
Rather than dismiss our sin,
He assumes our sin and, incredibly, sentences Himself.
God's holiness is honored.
Our sin is punished.....
And we are redeemed.
God does what we cannot do
so we can be what we dare not dream:
PERFECT BEFORE GOD.
