I'm a sinner, no better than any other human being. I have no personal bragging rights. My only boast is that, in spite of my many sins and my numerous faults, through God's grace, given in Jesus Christ, my sins are forgiven and I have a new life.

Faith Tidbit #39
This being made right with God, which we talked about yesterday, is what the Bible calls "justification." In the original Greek of the New Testament, this word is related to the word, "righteous." To be justified or to be made righteous by God is a gift from God to all with faith in Jesus Christ. In Christ, the condition of sin is erased, making believers in Him able to stand in God's holy presence.
