For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. — Romans 5:6

Christ died for sinners. Christ died on my behalf. Without his death on the cross and God’s grace, I have no way to save myself or become good. Jesus did for me what I couldn’t do, and he paid off my debt to sin, which I couldn’t pay. He did it for me, not because I was good enough to deserve his death, but because I couldn’t be good enough without him.

Prayer

God, I love you, thank you. Sacrificial Savior, I praise you. I can’t thank you enough for your grace, which cost you so much but means so much to me. All honor, glory, and praise to my Father who sits on the throne and to my Lord Jesus who went to the cross and in whose name I give thanks. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
