having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Forallhave sinned,andcome shortof the gloryof God;
Romans 3:23 (KJV)
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
Jeremiah 17: 7 (KJV)
Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord And whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord
Jeremiah 17:7 (Amplified)
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:20-21 (KJV)
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Romans 6:1-2 (KJV)
Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
2 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV)
The more disappointed we are when
someone falls, the more our hope is
in sin filled humanity rather than the
sinless, perfect, hope-filled perfect one,
Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
May our trust be in our Savior Jesus Christ alone!
May the grace that we have unworthily received
be greater, more monumental, exponentially
greater than our condemnation of anyone elses
sin. For we are all equal at the foot of the cross!
And we are ALL sinners saved by the riches of Jesus Christ,
our beloved, Lord, Master, Friend, and exorbitant grace giver!
