“WE OURSELVES ALSO WERE”…
Every believer must remember this. I can’t get so “holy” that I forget what God save me from! When I see the drunk on the side of the road, I must remember that I used to be that. When I hear other people talking negatively about me, I must remember that I used to do that. When I see people whoremongering and fornicating, I must remember that I have done that. When I hear of lie that has been told, I must remember that I have done that. I have to connect with the sinner through the sin in order to have an effective ministry for and to them to eradicate the sin by the blood of Jesus. Then greatest of all, I need to stay humble by knowing that…
IF NOT BY THE GRACE OF GOD THERE I GO!!!
It’s not me but God! God is the one that took this sinful wretch and redeemed me to a life as a child of the King! The “kindness and love of God our Saviour…appeared”! Thank You, Father, for loving me enough. Thank You, Father, for knowing me enough. Thank You, Father, understanding my situation enough…that You gave me another chance to be saved.
