There is a difference between what the Bible DESCRIBES and what it PRESCRIBES.
Yes, the Bible describes sinners doing sinful things. That's the whole point: We're not good people who just need encouragement to fulfill our potential; We're bad people who need a Savior.
In fact, the Bible DESCRIBES sinners doing sinful things, SO THAT it can PRESCRIBE giving your life to a Savior who leads you in a new and better way.
There's only 1 guy in the whole Bible who leads a good life: Jesus.
The goal of the Gospel is not to affirm you, celebrate you, or empower you to do whatever you want.
The goal of the Gospel is to rescue you, transform you, and empower you to do whatever God says.
Powerful: Venezuelan superstar Eugenio Suárez gave all glory to Jesus Christ immediately after beating team USA.
“All the glory is for Lord Jesus. He was with us the whole time. We have to glorify, put his name in front of everything”
What a special moment ❤️🙏
"First, God’s been good… I have to glorify His name… We believe in God. We pray every day. We give glory to the one and only, Jesus."

Morning.
Imagine Jesus carrying a 300+ lb cross up to calvary, beaten, intestines exposed, beard ripped from its follicles, and the only thing He had on His mind was you.
No one will ever love you, the way He does.
