Not Getting What We Really Deserve

I’ve done some things while growing up that my parents did not like nor condone. But then there were things that I did that I simply got away with with my parents, because they couldn’t see or know EVERYTHING I was doing.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10. Do not get it twisted, our heavenly Father sees all and He knows all, so when I fall short, and I do, He knows all about it. The blessed part about being a child of God is when I repent (not just ask for forgiveness, but wholeheartedly try not to do it again, nor premeditate it) I will be forgiven instantly. The other awesome part of that is, although I will have to suffer consequences for my actions, I will not get the penalty in which my sin truly deserves. My God!!! Because of Jesus’ sacrifice at the cross, I do not have to take on the fate of eternal damnation. Now that’s good news.

So, to the repeat offenders, why not have a change of heart and direction and truly walk away from those things that are keeping you in bondage and may cause you to miss out in heaven.

Isn’t it awesome we’re not getting what we REALLY deserve?
