Christ Died for the Worst

Romans 5:6-8

from Bible Gateway's Verse of the Day

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

 

I am grateful for Jesus gift . The idea of being saved is hard to grasp but I can definitely grasp the idea of feeling unworthy. As the worst of the worst sinners in my head it can be tough to accept God's forgiveness but in these verses I can see that Christ didn't die for the best, he died for me.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for this message this morning and thank you for telling me I am worthy. 

Amen.

Don't take sin back after giving it to God.

I am grateful for the freedom from sin that Christ gives me. There is no need to stress and hold onto guilt because Christ has already died for that pain. I am done with sin and I can let it go and I am thankful for that. Join me in letting go of sin. For the next few minutes after reading this, pray and confess your sins to God and once you have given them to him, let them go; you are done with those sins and don't have to pick them up again.
