Good Little Tax Payer

Amazing grace...how sweet the sound..that saved a wretch...like me.

God's grace...as revealed in the Gospel...the message of the Cross of Jesus is truly amazing!

It is also something that scares the pants off of people.

If you ask "why is that?"...maybe you need to look at God's grace again.

The reason why so many people like to think that their "right standing" with God as something that involves their good deeds or their works is because if salvation depends upon us performing for God...doing what He requires...

...then God becomes our debtor.

All of a sudden we view ourselves as tax payers...we have done as our government has said...and now we have rights...there are limits on what God can ask of us...

But...

We our debt is so great...

...that we could never pay it...

...and God came and paid the price for us...

...then there is no limit to what He can ask of us...

Amazing...and sobering...
