The Word For You Today

“The Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Gal 2:20 NKJV
You have full forgiveness
How many times must the apostle Paul, who was once known as Saul the persecutor of Christians, have had flashbacks to Stephen’s stoning? Or the countless other Christians he hunted down like animals? Paul was an eyewitness, which means those snapshots were sealed into his visual cortex. When he closed his eyes, those images could have haunted him for the rest of his life. By today’s standards, Saul was a terrorist—but he had an encounter with Christ that blinded him. He regained his physical sight after three days, but the grace of God enabled him to turn a blind eye to his forgiven sin forever. If God turns a blind eye to confessed sin, shouldn’t we? That doesn’t mean we deny our sin or ignore it. If you underestimate your sinfulness, you depreciate the grace of God. Paul called himself the chief of sinners (see 1Ti 1:15). Perhaps that’s why he appreciated the grace of God so much. The reason many of us label others by their sin is because it makes us feel better about ourselves. We think: “I may not be perfect, but at least I haven’t done that!” But Paul was explicit: “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Ro 3:23 KJV). God doesn’t grade your sins like the legal system, as misdemeanors and felonies. No, you are either in sin or in Christ. You’re either guilty or you are fully forgiven. Not only have your sins—past, present, and future—been atoned for, but at the point of believing faith, God forgave you and credited your account with the righteousness of Christ.
