Romans 4:3-8 (New International Version)
3What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
4Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation.5However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. 6David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7"Blessed are they
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
8Blessed is the man
whose sin the Lord will never count against him."

Forgiveness from God is so amazingly simple that sometimes it seems ridiculous. But that's the thing about grace, all we've got to do is believe.
But what should be our response? Continue to live in sin because our God forgives? I hope that's not's the case but in view of His great love we choose to change and become more like Him.
PREPARE FOR BIBLE STUDY THIS WEEK!
Anyone got ideas for CG outing during school holidays? I'm only free on Tuesdays-Thursdays after 2pm =p...
