“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.”
Romans 3:23-24 NLT
We cannot comprehend God’s holinesss. We think we know holiness by our own judgement of what we think that looks like. Every judgement we make is from a selfish point of view.
Yet, it takes a revelation from the Holy Spirit to understand what holiness really is. He does this as He reveals our sin and we then know we have fallen short of God’s glorious holiness. Only repentance opens the door to God’s holiness. We now become set apart for Him. As we read our bibles we gain insight and understanding of how holy God is and what His plan for us is. He transforms us from sinner to saint as we become more like His Son Jesus.
Only Jesus can set us free from the penalty of sin. As we accept His gift we are liberated from the penalty of our sin. No amount of self-righteousness is good enough. We have no righteousness worthy of our God. Jesus was the only one good enough. I must accept His free gift and live in faith towards Him. He is enough. Amen!
