If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? (Psalm 130:3)Who would want to live under condemnation for every bad choice we've ever made? The psalmist is only saying what we've heard from many other biblical sources: All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
Thankfully neither Paul, in his letter to the Romans, nor our psalm writer let it stop there.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. (Romans 3:23,24)
If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness. (Psalm 130:3,4)
Is there anyone you need to let off the hook?
