I never was worthy to approach God. I never will be worthy to approach God. My access to God’s presence is not based on my worthiness, it is based on what Christ did for me on the cross.”

They hung in that specific area, until dead, for all who enter the city to gawk and beware.

Too often Christians forget that believing in Christ offers many benefits. Benefits born in faith enable Christians to stand firm with joyful hearts as we await Christ’s return.
Christians are unique, set apart to live as Christ lived on earth, with the satisfaction/contentment God provides through Christ.
I encourage you brothers and sisters, stay strong in all circumstances. Remember whose you are and reap the benefits of Christ’s work on the cross.
