"Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, for which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses." -Acts 13:38-39 (NASB)
My daughter has become sensitive to trying to be good. When she isn't on her best behavior, she gets upset. She's now learning that growing up, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, requires mistakes and shortcomings. We can try our best to be good, but there are always times when our good isn't enough!
When we all fall short of our "best" behavior, we need to understand is that God has a plan. The plan of the New Testament is different from the Old Testament. While we still need to try our best to follow God's Law, if we have accepted Jesus as our Savior, then we won't be judged by the Law. Being good isn't enough to earn our Salvation. We can only be freed from our sins by believing in the sacrifice and gift of redemption from Jesus Christ, our Savior!
Don't worry that your good isn't enough. Find freedom and redemption in Jesus!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your perfect plan of redemption. Please forgive my sins and set me free so I can proclaim Your glory with all my heart. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
