I had dinner with a good friend on Wednesday night (Pizza Express - yum!) and we very quickly started talking about deeper things; the things that matter. I just love being able to do that with friends!
Anyway, it soon became clear that we were both struggling with feeling like we weren't doing enough for God - we weren't reading our Bibles enough, we had little desire to go forth and spread the Good News, we sinned and knew we were sinning and carried on sinning. We just felt we were failing God.
Together though we began to work things out. We started talking about grace. Then later on that evening we watched a DVD by Louie Giglio called 'Fruitcake and Ice-cream' (I'd definitely recommend it!) and we were just reminded again about God's amazing grace!
So Louie Giglio directed us to 2 Corinthians 5:21: "For God made Christ who had no sin to be sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." Then he said, "What did YOU do in that passage?..."
"...Absolutely nothing!"
It is only by grace we have been saved!
