Daily Devo 01/07/20

Today is Tuesday, January 7, 2020 and here is your Daily Devo. Another way judgment humbles us is because in Christ, we see just how rich in mercy God truly is. He did not leave us to the fate we very well deserve. Instead, “because of his great love that he had for us, made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses” (Eph. 2:4-5). Jesus was judged in our place on the cross, facing the consequences of our sin when He had no sin of His own; and His righteousness—His absolute perfection—is given to us by faith in Him. That is the gospel! It is humbling to think that God shows that kind of mercy, that He is that willing to forgive sinners. And it should grieve us to think that some love darkness so much that they would rather persist in disobedience than turn to Christ in faith (John 3:19). Think about this: Why should God’s grace through Jesus serve as a means to develop humility within us? What are some other means of grace God might use to humble us?
