Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Si nos pagaran lo que merecemos, no nos gustaría nuestro salario. Por otro lado, Dios, quien es rico en misericordia, nos da su regalo por el sacrificio de Jesús y no por lo que merecemos. ¡No sé cómo tú lo ves, pero eso me hace querer servirle con pasión y fidelidad!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
If we get paid what we deserve as flawed and sinful humans, we're not going to like our wages when we stand before God, trying to plead our case. On the other hand, God, who is rich in mercy and grace, gives us his gift of salvation because of the sacrifice of Jesus and our faith in him. We won't get what we deserve or receive the cruel wages of sin if Christ is our Lord and Savior. He died to pay that debt, that wage of sin and death. Instead, we will receive the gift of eternal life in the glorious presence of God and his holy angels. I don't know about you, but that makes me want to serve him more passionately and faithfully!
Mi oración
Padre Glorioso y Bondadoso, Santo y Perfecto en todo sentido, gracias por cerrar el abismo entre tu justicia y mi imperfección con tu sacrificio de gracia. Gracias por el don de vida eterna. Que mi vida mortal sea santa y agradable a ti. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Glorious and gracious Father, holy and perfect in every way, thank you for your sacrificial grace, which bridges the great gulf between your perfect righteousness and my imperfection and sinfulness. Thank you for the gift of eternal life. May my mortal life be holy and pleasing to you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
