Romans 3:23,24
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Jesus Christ." NIV
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God, being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." KJV
Isn't it a wonderful thing to know that we don't have to wait until we are mature Christians before the Lord can use us for His kingdom. If we give our hearts to Him, he justifies us by His grace and He begins to use us as living testimonies of His grace and salvation. We are all equal in His sight, now matter how long we have been His children. We can be assured that He will let us be a living testimony and will cause us to grow into Him as we live for Him each day. We were all sinners. Now we are His children and he works through us new children and old ones.
Heavenly Father, how thankful we are that You see all your children the same because we came from this earthly life of sin and our nature was sinful. But You allow each of us the honor to be a part of Your plan of reaching the world for Christ. Help us to honor and cherish that great love You have for us. In Jesus' name, Amen.
