I must confess I am enamoured with the Gospel. Probably because I have always had a painfully low opinion of myself. (Can you tell I've been reading a bit of Jane Austen lately?) But seriously, resting on the truth of the Gospel has become a such a great comfort. It is Christ's work and not my own that God sees. God has declared me righteous. What a great salvation! The truth in this song by Shane & Shane always moves me. And John Piper's words at the end are so powerful.
"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God". 2 Corinthians 5:21
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1
