"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8 (NASB)
Alex Trebek recently began an episode of "Children's Week on Jeopardy" by explaining that for many of the kids on the show that week, losing Jeopardy was their first experience with failure. While it may be true that these kids have achieved great academic success without failure, it does not mean that they were never wrong or have never sinned. We all encounter failure. We all sin. It is our responses to those failures and sinful ways that defines us.
God knows that we are not perfect. He is only asking that we believe in Him, trust Him, accept forgiveness through Jesus, and try our best. Since we can never live a perfect life on our own, God provides a plan of salvation for our lives. God isn't waiting for us to get it perfect before He steps in, He is ready to help us even when we are still sinning! God sent His Son. His Son died on the cross. His Son rose from the dead. Even if we find ourselves in the midst of sin, the sacrifice of Jesus is powerful enough to save us...whenever and wherever!
Accept Jesus and all of your sins will be erased!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your willingness to plan my salvation, even though I am still a sinner. Please erase my sins and failures and allow me to be a light for You in the world. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
