GOOD NEWS...BUT.....

"We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penality of our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood."

(Romans 3:22-25)

Having read this passage today, really reminds me of how good my God is. His grace and mercy just makes things right for us to come to Him without feeling like we're not good enough, or like we've not done enough. God is a God that loves, no matter what state you are in. And that is GOOD NEWS.

But if this is such good news, why do people find it so hard to accept it? Is it because it's too good to be true, hence the possibility that it might all be a lie is there? Is it because too much bad things have happened and the slightest glimmer of hope seems just impossible? Or is it because people are just too complacent with living the normal, status-quo kind of life that there is no point in wanting more? Have people lost that hope of living for a purpose? Are we loosing our existence in this planet called earth?
