Accepted!

This is a great verse to think about to end the week on.

Proverbs 14:9

9 Fools mock at the guilt offering,
but the upright enjoy acceptance.

Those who mock our guilt offering are fools! What is our guilt offering? Jesus! We are guilty of sin before our Righteous God. He demands payment for our sin. Jesus paid that demand on the cross on behalf of us. Sadly many mock what Jesus did on the cross as our guilt offering and thus they are fools...God says so here in His Word!

But those who believe in Jesus and have accepted Christ as their sin offering become upright in God's eyes and we enjoy acceptance as sons and daughters of God! WOW!!! Stop for a moment and chew on that. We who were once dead in our sins and had been rejected by God become alive and righteous before God all because of the shed blood of Christ on the cross! Thank you, thank you Jesus!

So this morning if you have not accepted the guilt offering Jesus offers do it today! Don't be a fool! If you have already accepted this free gift enjoy your acceptance by God and praise Him for His loving kindness!

Have a good weekend!
