We get what sin is. But, what we struggle with is how to make up for it?
To put it simply—we’re not good enough! If I lose my temper in traffic, can I make up for it by waving at the next four cars? If I’m greedy one year, how many years should I be generous?
The truth is, I don’t know the answer to those questions. There’s no price list. No rule sheet. Is God some kind of heavenly deal broker who sells packages of grace? Is that the kind of God we have? Is that the kind God we want? Actually, God’s standard is much higher.
Romans 3:23 says, we fall short of the glory of God. Way short! We’re not good enough—but He is! It’s Christ in us that makes the difference!
