20 gold coins revisited

for anyone who has read my previous post about the 20 gold coins, i'm taking a step back to rewrite it coz i still think it's very very meaningful so do bear with me

think of the times you feel like you're not worth a cent.

think of the times you feel like you're the biggest sinner ever.

think of the times you feel like God's the furthest person away from you

think of the times you feel like a complete loser

a pack of lies

well i had my days...

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

then now,

think of how Jesus came paid for your sins. paid for your every single sin.

think of how Jesus took it all upon himself and bore it till Calvary

H e t o o k i t a l l . r i g h t t h e r e . r i g h t t h e n .

now,

think of how God has become your refuge and stronghold

think of how God has become your shield and strength

H e d i d i t a l l f o r y o u .

still feeling you're not worth a cent? i doubt it.

by grace God has gave us this eternal life.

Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

so if by grace we're saved, will that mean we're forever saved and can continue living in our carnal nature?

Romans 6:1-2

1. What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?

2. By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

see? Paul as much wisdom he had knew the people's minds and told them to make them understand.

lastly,

Romans 12:1

therefore I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, this is your spiritual act of worship
