The Problem with Being Ugly
When we gaze into the mirror, we might like what we see. Sure, there are a few wrinkles, some faint love handles, maybe a blemish here or there. But over-all, we’re not unattractive people, are we? On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez holds up the mirror of Scripture to give us an honest reflection of our spiritual appearance. And it’s not a pretty picture! The bad news is that sin has marred our image. But Colossians, Chapter 1, provides some good news.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?
