We often believe that while we may be forgiven by grace through faith, we enter the Kingdom on thin ice. When we behave well, we think God must like us, but when we blow it, we feel God must dislike us. We are encouraged then to allow our sin to drive us toward Christ rather than away from him.

Scripture: Romans 3:1-25
Paul shows us in Romans 3 mankind’s standing before God. Biblical religious people have an advantage, but are no better off as all people are under the power of sin. However, God has a solution to this problem.

Scripture: Romans 3:1-25
As people, we are seriously flawed. In many ways we reject truth, do evil, and worship wrongly. While this is bad news, it also reassures us that if God will save, it won’t be on the basis of our moral merit. The lowest of sinners and greatest of saints all have to come humbly before our holy God.

Scripture: Romans 1:16-23
Because of Christ, who rose victoriously from the grave, Christians have a living hope that is more real, true, and glorious than anything the world has to offer. No matter how difficult this life can be, God’s power is greater and he will hold us fast.
If you have given your life to Jesus, he has freed you from all sin. Make every effort, therefore, by the inner working of his Spirit’s power, to remove the “yeast” from your heart, that you might fully enter into the joy and celebration of the Passover feast.
