Grace

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. (Romans 5:20)

Recently a serial killer pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Although many expressed shock at his crimes the bible testifies that even our righteous acts are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). Yet no matter how sin has revealed itself through us there is good news – the gospel of the grace of God. On the cross the Lord Jesus paid the sentence for all our sins and whether great or few God's infinite grace abounds more. Friend, you may have done great harm to yourself and others. Don't despair. Trust Christ as your Saviour today and He will immediately forgive, change and welcome you as His own.

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt! Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured, There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled.
