How awesome God is!

He knows we can’t be righteous enough on our own, so He forgives us of our sin and says, here, take my righteousness and gives it to us as a gift, so we can stand before Him.

I think that, if we EVER get to the point where we fully comprehend the grace of God in what He has done for us, we would not be able to get up off our knees for a moment because we would be praising Him so much! In heaven, we are told:

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying:

    “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”


Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

    “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”


The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped. (Revelation 5:11-14)
