me...

Here was this man I knew back in high school which our society said to be delinquent. He got into many school fights, had many vices and got a girl pregnant at the age of 17. As others would say, the world would be a better place if he would be gone.

Now there was me. A girl with a good standing at school, never been in a fight, people don’t like me that much but at least no one hated me.

If you would to pick who would be the “righteous kid”, surely, you would pick me. But the truth is…I am not.

His sins were vulgar, but I was as sinful as he but I was doing mine in secret. I would think badly of other people, I would lie if the situation pushed me to and do more sins if no one is watching. Although I may look nicer in the outside, I was as rotten as him in the inside. And God saw all of them.

Sin is still sin no matter how big or small it may seem. And unless we repent, we will all die in our sins. (Luke 13:3)

Blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.

-Romans 4:8 (ESV)

We are all dead to our sin but thanks to God that He gave us forgiveness through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

God has imputed Christ’s righteousness in us so that starting from the day a person receives Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

So from that day onwards, God no longer sees the unrighteous, sinful me but He now sees the righteousness of Christ in me. (Romans 3:22)

Thank You Lord for Your grace and lovingkindness upon your children!
