The team is back in Ongole, India after spending a week near a jungle about a hundred fifty kilometers west of here. We had an opportunity to go to a number of villages to preach and share the good news of God has done and is doing in our lives. More stories are coming in the next couple weeks. Right now however, I just want to leave you with a thought..

It is grace we have been saved through faith and this not of ourselves, it is the gift of God lest any man should boast.

No one will ever be accredited as righteous based on their own works and I can give you verses to back that.

Therefore, His grace must cover us completely which means that our righteousness can't at all be based on the things we do or don't do in regards to the law.

Do you really believe that?

If that's true then this must also be true:
Our unrighteousness can't at all be based on the things we do or don't do in regards to the law.

If we are made righteous by accepting grace, then our righteousness or unrighteousness is not based on the measurement of our behaviors based on right or wrong.

Can you follow that?
Can you believe that?

It's a powerful thing to consider.
