We all know the words to this famous hymn: "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me...." but do we really, honestly think about the meaning behind these words? All who believe in Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior are SAVED!! Hallelujah!! This means that no matter what we were before; liars, cheaters, murderers, adulterers, etc. Christ has forgiven it ALL! Psalm 103:12 says that,"As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us." The past has been forgiven no matter what you've done. Christ was beaten, mocked, and persecuted for us. He loved you so much that he went through so much suffering for you. And even then, when Jesus my Lord and Savior was on the cross, dying for me, he didn't curse the people who denied him and wronged him. He didn't ask his Father, God to strike them all down for what they did to him. "But Jesus was saying, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." He forgave me for what I was before I knew him. There is no sin too great for Jesus. He forgives everything! Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound, that saved a WRETCH like ME!!
2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."
