Who can say “I have made my heart clean,
I am pure of my sin.”?
Proverbs 20:9
Anytime I think that there is another way to You Lord, other than the work of Your Son on the cross, I commit treason. If I ever justify my sin instead of confess it; if I ever feed my pride with self appreciation instead of trusting you for my salvation; if I ever rely on self-sufficiency in my false righteousness instead of admitting my utter inability to save my soul, than I make a mockery of the cross. If Your dying was not absolutely necessary, than Your act of dying was nothing short of foolishness. But the only thing foolish about that thought is the thought itself! For if there was another way to You Jesus, than You would have come to earth to reveal that way, and to encourage us to walk in that way. But You came to die for my many sins. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is the beautiful fusion of perfect love and divine wrath portrayed on the cross that leaves us lost in wonder of Your mercy and grace. You are the way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through You (John 14:6). Thank You for providing that way, may we spend the days of lives in complete surrender to the awesome power of Your sacrifice, trusting in Your grace alone, knowing full well that You are the only way.
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
