DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Warts and All
Romans 15:7
"Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
The Lord Jesus accepts and loves us – warts and all! We don't have to measure up to some standard of perfection. After all, He chose to include the Gentiles in His great plan even though they were not of the chose race of Abraham (vss. 8-12). In this, God is glorified because it demonstrates His mercy and grace. We also glorify God by extending mercy and grace to others who do not meet our standard of doctrine or holiness. If they have come to faith in Christ, God accepts them, and so should I.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: We can love others – warts and all, because Jesus loves us – warts and all.
Have a "receiving" day. Love you.
