Romans 3:21-31
The house trim looked faded and was in need of some new paint. I ended up with a gallon of paint on a ladder about 20 feet in the air. All was fine until the ladder slipped and my hand that was holding the gallon of red paint instinctively swung to grasp hold of the ladder. But, while I managed to grab was the ladder the red paint kept moving and ended up all over the front corner of a white house. What a mess! Eventually the paint was wiped off but a stain was still there. I decided to get some cans of white spray paint. After several trips to the local hardware store for more paint cans the mess that seemed impossible to cover was hidden from sight. God does the same for us. He offers cleansing by faith through Jesus, His Son. If we accept His work on the cross on our behalf we are justified by God so that all He sees in the cleansing accomplished by Jesus.
