The Harsh But Good News
We all carry around an internal list of our accomplishments, talents, or trophies. It’s the résumé of our worth. On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez explains that whether our résumés of righteousness are large or small, none of our good works move us any closer to God. The grace and love of the Lord is not the result of zealous self-improvement, but a humble reliance on the finished work of Christ.Every believer occasionally struggles with doubt over their salvation. This is born out of guilt and discouragement of their sin they believe is too big or egregious for God to forgive.
This can lead Christians to underestimate or disbelieve the complete sacrifice for sin accomplished on the cross. Want to understand God's complete forgiveness and wiping away of sin?
