Recently I saw a sermon preached by Louie Giglio, entitled "Fruitcake and Ice Cream". I totally recommend this video to anyone. Go watch it and be encouraged.
I love Louie's focus on the importance of grace and the results of grace in our lives. He points out that we often think that the Gospel (eternal life in exchange for belief and trust in Jesus as our Savior) is too easy, when really it was the most difficult thing ever accomplished. We, the recipients, often forget the cost of grace and minimize what should be a completely life altering truth:
"He made him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." ~2 Cor. 5:21
In the moment of the crucifixion the greatest transaction ever took place. God took all of my sin and put it on His perfect son, and took His righteousness and put it into me! The Gospel is not about us; it is about what God has done. Amen!
I need to be reminded of these awesome truths more often.
