Scripture:
Romans 3:24-25 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed.
Observation:
In so many stories in Bible, it is clear that we are sinner, we are never a perfect being. There is no such thing as perfect being exception to God himself. Because God knows that and he endures the pain from our sins, he has gone so far to show mercy and generosity for all the sinner and believers. God himself sacrifice his utterly most valuable in his life, Jesus Christ. To wash our sins which we are so incapable of living the glorious life that God wants for us. Out of his love and pure generosity he had sacrificed his one and only son JESUS Christ to clear all of our compiling sins, so that we may restore our righteousness and clear all the filth in this world so that we may live in clean life. Life which will no longer be filled with pain for which our Father will endure no more. By God sacrificing his son, he has set everything right.
Application:
I am so reluctant to recognize how precious I am as a daughter of God. I doubt and react in total selfishness for my personal gain in many situation. I am sure many of us do that as well. But for purpose of this journal, my personal experiences can be display of example which we as Christian turn our head many times to God's gracious gift. Everyday, I go on to remind myself, today is the day I shall not ____. But being tempted into the world and the desire to be part of something, we put our priorities of God in the bottom. What happen when we wake up God is set as our priority in the beginning of the day, however, by end of the day priorities has been turned around? Why does that happen? My sins are compiling as the days go, as the minute go, but I don't come to recognize that I am forgiven and my sins are cleared with the gracious gift from God himself to save me. Why can't I value myself as God values me? If I am forgiven and cleared with God's gift, I should gear to work and live my life righteous way which God has planned for me. The value of the gift cannot measured or be offset by anything, it is the most precious and generous gift anyone can ask for. But God gave without me asking, because he knows the pain I endure and suffer through this gift, he hopes for me to be pure and clean. I need to recognize my heart, dig deeper to my heart, and understand my heart. Need to forgive for me to move forward and accept all the splendid gift provided from God. For God give many chances to his sons and daughters, and he never gives up. It's up to me to grab that opportunity and make changes.
