 | brucesbiblepage Jan 1 |  For first, my brethren, if salvation is of mercy only, it is clear that our sin is by no means an impediment to our salvation. If it were of justice our transgression of the law would render our salvation utterly impossible; but if the Lord deals with us upon quite another footing, and says, "I will forgive them freely," that very promise presupposes sin. If the Lord speaks of mercy, that very word takes it for granted that we are guilty, or else there would be no room for mercy at all. The very statement that we are saved by grace implies that we are fit objects for grace; and who are fit objects for grace but the guilty, the wretched, the condemned. O sons of men, the law stops your mouths, and makes you silently own that you are guilty before God, but the gospel opens the mouth of the dumb by declaring that "Christ died for the ungodly," and that "lie came into the world to save sinners." If mercy comes into the field, sin is swallowed up in forgiveness, and unworthiness ceases to be a barrier to love. Is not this both clear and comforting? #GIVETHANKS #Outreach: That the world may know #Prayer Focus: Pray for Our Prodigals #Praise the Lord Please follow my blog Guam Christian Blog Please follow my blog Guam Views Blog Podcast: https://anchor.fm/bruce-dinsman Bruce's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/bruce.dinsman Featured book: https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Service-4-Bruce-Dinsman-ebook/dp/B07W64BCD1
