God is Holy
There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins. Ecclesiastes 7:20
Most of us have someone in our life, perhaps a boss, a spouse, a parent, or relative that regardless of how hard we try, leaves us feeling unworthy or like a failure. Sometimes this rejection can be overwhelming and we struggle to find our place because we know no matter how hard we try, it’s never enough.
God knows we aren’t perfect either, but he loves and accepts us anyway! He created us to be exactly as we are, with unique talents and gifts, but by no means perfect. Jesus, as God-made man, was the only being to walk the earth that was perfect. His death and resurrection paid the price for our completion. We aren’t perfect but that is okay, because Jesus is there to erase the wrongs and fill in all the gaps as we put our faith in Him.
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 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 Christ Jesus. Romans 3:22-24
Because God is holy, we can face man’s rejection with our confidence in Christ.
