It Depends

It does not, therefore, depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. (Romans 9:16, NIV 1984).

My Musings – Who would not desire an eternity with God? Who would not make every possible effort to achieve it? But our desires and efforts will never be sufficient to make it happen. That said, it is almost inconceivable that anyone would spurn God’s mercy. Yet many do. And without that mercy, justice must prevail.

My Advice – “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.” (Psalm 51:1–2, NIV 1984). If we cry out to Him, He will answer.

I was raised in a Christian family and my earliest childhood memories include regular Sunday school and Church attendance as a family. I was taught that our Judeo-Christian values were not just a part of our Sunday routine they should be part of our character and influence all aspects of our lives. I was also taught that as important as these values were they could not save us. We must also be “born again” by accepting Christ. View all posts by thebrewisamusing
