Rest in Jesus

We tend to think we have a bit of Superman in us; but in reality, we are all only humans. There's only one hero in our stories, and that's Jesus. Whether we are Jews or Gentiles, we are all under sin. Not one of us can claim righteousness before God. There is no need for us to put on an act. But God is righteous! Jesus paid the price to redeem us from our slavery to sin. He chose to love us while we were still enemies, and He bestows His perfect righteousness upon us. Receive Jesus and rest in Him. He is the only hope we have. Stop striving to earn grace, and get off the treadmill of your own works. Christ is righteous, and He has done everything necessary for us to be at peace with God.
