“And if they are saved by God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s wonderful kindness would not be what it really is – free and undeserved.” Romans 11:6 NLT
To whom does God offer His gift? To the brightest? The most beautiful or the most charming?
No. His gift is for us all – beggars and bankers, clergy and clerks, judges and janitors. All God’s children.
And He wants us so badly, He’ll take us in any condition – ‘as is’ reads the tag on our collars.
He’s not about to wait for us to reach perfection (He knows we’ll never get there). Do you think He’s waiting for us to overcome all temptations? Hardly. When we master the Christian walk? Far from it.
Remember, Christ died for us when we were still sinners. His sacrifice, then, was not dependent on our performance.
He wants us now.
