Have a nice day! 🙂

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:
– Romans 3:23-24

This verse is a cornerstone of grace, isn’t it? It holds the tension and the triumph. Our shared need and His unearned gift. This is spoken through the heart of the gospel in two lines: the truth of our condition and the beauty of our redemption. Deeply aligned with Paul’s heart. These verses weren’t written just to expose sin, but to level the ground beneath all of us. Paul was speaking to a divided audience, Jews and Gentiles, law-keepers and outsiders, and he wanted to make it unmistakably clear: no one earns righteousness. Not by heritage, not by effort. All fall short. But all are invited. Knowing we’re not perfect, but God is, that’s the soil where mercy grows.
