Jesus Loves Me by Chris Tomlin

He loves you too!

Real Good Thing by Newsboys

Yet another song composed by the team of Steve Taylor and Peter Furler...

When we don't get what we deserve that's a real good thing
When we get what we don't deserve
That's a real good thing

Born to sin
And then get caught
All our good deeds
Don't mean squat

Sell the Volvo
Shred the Visa
Send the cash to Ma Theresa
Great idea
The only catch is
You don't get saved
On merit badges

When we don't get what we deserve that's a real good thing
When we get what we don't deserve
That's a real good thing

Doctor's coming
Looking grim
"Do you have a favorite hymn?"

Check your balance through the years
All accounts are in arrears
Guilt is bitter
Grace is sweet
Park it here
On the mercy seat

When we don't get what we deserve that's a real good thing
When we get what we don't deserve
That's a real good thing

Karma versus Christianity

All other religious systems say that "what goes around, comes around" and "you get what you deserve." Christian faith says that all have sinned and fallen short of being human.

But those who turn from sin and trust in Jesus Christ as their God become beneficiaries of what He did for us on the cross, where He took the punishment we deserve for sin.

Jesus then rose from the dead so that all who repent and believe in Him have life with God...even though we don't deserve. That is truly amazing grace!

We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

As an old song put it of grace, "When we don't get what we deserve, that's a real good thing."
