God Only Saves The Fallen

Monday, August 16, 2021

In the Lord we often feel the worst thing that can happen to us is that we fall. We should try to do everything possible to avoid falling. But we need to realize something else: when did redemption begin? Redemption only began after the fall. That's when it counts. We think we can relate to God as together people. We can't. We can only come to God in need of being saved through His grace. We never come because we've got it together. We come through mercy and grace. Salvation and grace only happen after the fall. We can only stand by His grace and mercy. Sometimes we get so far away from grace, we think we are doing great, we are independent and self-sufficient. That actually means we've fallen. Sometimes the best thing that can happen is that we trip up. Then we can go back to the foot of Messiah at the cross. There is no salvation without it, and all salvation is only within it. The grace of God can only be known now, after the fall.rn
