Obedience

"For no one can ever be made right in God's sight by doing what his law commands. For the more we know God's law, the clearer it becomes that we aren't obeying it. But now God has shown us a different way of being right in his sight—not by obeying the law but by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago."
~Romans 3:20-21

This was the passage from my e-devotion this morning. Talk about starting the morning off with a bang! I know I have felt this passage so many times in the last 10+ years that it is an incredible reminder of God's grace. No matter what I do, there's only one thing that will give me security for the future; knowing, accepting, trusting, and believing Christ is the only way to heaven and that his life, death, and resurrection were to allow us into the presence of God. It's be His grace that we are saved. Sure their may be all of these "laws" that we have yet to conform to, but that's okay. Life's not a report-card...it's more pass/fail...and there's only one thing we can do to "pass".
