God\u2019s grace, mercy, and love are truly blessings beyond our imagination. We do not fully understand their depth and width due to our limited understanding of the absolute Holiness of God, yet our need for them in light of our sin.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We begin to scratch the surface of it when we begin to understand Sin. Without a basic understanding of sin, there is no application for the Gospel in our lives. We can not understand the basis for God\u2019s grace, mercy, and love. There is no reason to fear God. Without this basic understanding of sin being jointly proclaimed and declared with the Good News of Jesus Christ people will shallowly come to God seeking the benefit of eternal life, but not for the forgiveness of Sin. The need fo repentance will not be recognized. The brutality and cruelty of all the physical violence Jesus bore on His body will not be understood. The penalty He bore was OURS! It was due to our SINs! His agony and death to redeem us and give us eternal life. How can the need for the Gospel be presented without the declaration of Sin?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It can not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A person should feel shame, guilt, hopelessness, despair, conviction, worry for their souls, helplessness, unworthy, fear, judgment, etc\u2026. in light of the Holiness of God and hearing of the Gospel when the understanding of sin is exposed to their hearts and minds.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The fullness of God\u2019s grace, mercy, and love is only understood in the light of His holiness and our sinfulness. Sanctification, growth, and maturing in a Christian\u2019s life continue in this understanding of sin and holiness until their death.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Good News &#8211;\u00a0 Gospel &#8211;\u00a0 Repentance &#8211;\u00a0 Forgiveness &#8211;\u00a0 Redemption &#8211;\u00a0 Salvation &#8211;\u00a0 Eternal life Jhn 3:16-17\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. \u00a0For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/2025\/01\/22\/53-y-colossians-31-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;53.y.
