God's goodness.

I once heard someone say that they weren't the worst of sinners. And the more I think on that statement the more I want to know what that even means? If we are all sinners and then being that all sin is well - sin and breaking God's law, wouldn't that mean that - We actually all are the "worst" of sinners?

You see the way that I think and the way that I believe is that - I am actually nothing good at all but that because God is good, He saved me and THAT is what makes me good. It's not anything I do, or the fact that I chose to believe, or even have faith - It's that God chose me, saved me and continues to extend grace and love to me despite myself every single day. And then I still even have a hard time thinking that I'm "good."

Nothing I do will ever make me the worst or best of sinners - I don't believe there is a worst or best of sinners - We are all sinners, when you break the law, it's broken. It doesn't matter how you broke the law, it's the simple fact that you did break it. And obviously we all break the law... We all break His laws!

I'm so extremely thankful that God is indeed GOOD and chose to extend His goodness to me. I'm so thankful that because He is good and loves us, that He made me good. He clothed me in His righteousness and that's how He views me now. Not because of what I DO but because of all that He did when He put His son on that Cross.
Amazing. He is so amazing....


James 2:9-11
⁹ But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. ¹⁰ For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. ¹¹ For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
