Knowing is Half the Battle!

2/27/2016

"Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin." -Romans 3:20 (NIV)
Sometimes people seem to struggle with right and wrong.  Some become offended by the idea.  Others seem to be deprived of being educated to be caring, moral people.  I remember the end of one of my favorite cartoons as a child that ended with a lesson and the phrase, "Knowing is half the battle!"  It is often sad that knowing right and wrong becomes an obstacle to doing what is loving and right!

We know that we cannot be saved only by following God's law.  However, we cannot know what is right and wrong or what is expected from each of us.  When we know what is expected, then we can realize our sins and shortcomings.  Knowing this is only half the battle!  It is only after we realize our inability to keep the law that we can know our need for redemption through God's Son, Jesus Christ.  We then have to act and accept Jesus as our Savior and Redeemer!

Knowing is half the battle, then comes action and accepting forgiveness through Jesus!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for forgiving my sin and for redeeming me through Your Son.  Help me to model my life after His.  Through Jesus, my Redeemer, I pray, amen.
