Stealing from Pastor Matti's Blog Again

No Limit

I imagined a conversation with the Lord.
Struggling believer, “Lord, how many times may I fail?”
Loving Savior, “There is no limit to it.”
Condemned believer, “But I’m afraid to believe that.”
Faithful Savior, “ There is no fear in love.”

We can stop speaking to people.
We can put them on probation.
We can put more rules and regulations into their lives
and we can stop them from coming to the church,
but we cannot stop God from giving grace to them.
His grace was not in the first place a reaction to something
that man did or didn’t do.
God was gracious far before the fall of man.
If that is not true, then God is diminished to a reactionary
man like boss, difficult to avoid and hard to please.

Don’t let sin discourage you.
Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners,
from the greatest to the smallest. I Tim. 1:15
Don’t let your or other people’s failure stop you from
ministering this wonderful message of salvation.
It is everybody’s only hope.
