Subject: Humbly and Helplessly |
Bible Note: “God’s heart is moved, not when we protest our innocence by pointing to our (inadequate) good works, nor when we promise that we will do better in the future. Though there is no reason for God to love us, yet He does. This is the nature of grace that we must treasure to know the joy that God wants for our lives. Until we recognize that there is no reason God will be moved to love us other than the spiritual need we acknowledge, we have no good news to tell others or ourselves. How could it be good news that God waits to love us until we reach an unattainable standard of righteousness, or that He makes 'filthy rags' meritorious? Biblical faith is most evident not when we demand that God honor our flawed deeds, but when we trust that He will mercifully respond when we humbly and helplessly cry out, 'Jesus, Master, have pity on us!'” --Bryan Chapell, from “Holiness by Grace” |
