What can be known of God but that which has been revealed?
What can be known of love but that which has been rendered?
What can be known of heartache but that which has been endured?
What can be known of grace but that which has been received?
What can be received but that which has first been given?
"But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."
Nicely said! These are questions for deep reflection. Thanks for the post.
