Justified freely

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23 KJV) All have fallen short of the glory of God. We may fall in our walk and distractions of life may come upon us and lead us astray from time to time, but we must keep our eyes on Christ and our hearts in Jesus's heart. When we fall short of the glory of God, it does not mean we cannot serve Him anymore, it means we are still human beings. However, so many repel from the Lord when they fall into sin. Condemnation and guilt take over their hearts. Shame plays a blame game with their minds, and they run away from God. We have to continue reminding ourselves by faith that we have been bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. We have been set free from the bondage of sin. This is not the time to stay down in the darkness of this world, but time to rise up in Jesus Christ. Do not let guilt, shame, or condemnation pull you down and away from Christ, but allow the Holy Spirit to draw you back to the throne of grace. "Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." (vs:24-26) God bless you.
