March 2025
Greetings,
I am reminded of a bumper sticker that reads, “Christians aren’t perfect; just forgiven.” That doesn’t excuse our sinfulness, but it does remind us of whom we are and where we stand before our God.
We never claim to be perfect. We can’t obtain perfection, as we are still in the flesh. Any attempt to work towards a perfection would result in increased awareness that we fall short of the glory of God (as stated in Romans 3:23). But we do come before Him, pleading, “Lord, have mercy.” And all for the sake of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, God has had mercy upon us and for His sake forgives us all our sins.
This month, we enter Lent, a good opportunity to remember we aren’t perfect and to ask for that forgiveness we so desperately need.
In His Service,
Pastor
