Total Depravity

I guess everyone of us has used these tool before.
The mistakes that was masked out would still be there, albeit underneath the white "ppt" (just look from th eother side, if the paper is translucent enough)
Its like Man's Sin. No matter how one tries to hide it or mask it, it will never go away.
My hair grows rapidly. Yes it does! Together with the white hair.
It wont take long after I dyed my hair for all these white hair to surface again.
Similarly, I guess I cant conceal these white hair forever.
Even after dying it, you know that beneath the dye, it is still white hair.

My Mum says, a leopard cannot change its spots.
Yeah, i totally agree. A leopard is always a leopard.....A sinful man will forever be one....

I understand all these and testify to them
I need a Saviour and I found Lord Jesus Christ (or He let me find Him)

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

I thank God for my salvation.
To save me from the bottomless pit I was in.
To redeem me through the blood of His only Son.
A person as wretched as me.
I thank God thee
for this act of compassion and love for us

The great Gospel of Jesus Christ not only redeems us by the payment of His death, but it goes a step further. Jesus purchased us out of the slave market and permanently set us free to never return to its bondage. The redeemed person has come under new ownership and management.

The apostle Paul wrote, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us” (Eph. 1:7-8; cf. Titus 2:14; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Matthew 20:28).

Some points to ponder

Have you paused and thanked God for His Son who actually shed His blood to ransom you?

Have you ever considered the exceptionally great price that was paid for your salvation? It is the most expensive gift you will ever receive. It is not cheap just because it is free.

Moreover, your gift of redemption has been paid in full. All that you can possibly do is come with open hands to receive it. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).

The next time you are tempted to throw in the towel and call it quits remind the tempter you are not, and never will be up for sale, ever again.

Why should you ever want to doubt your salvation yet again? It does not depend upon you, but upon the permanent completed transaction by God through the Lord Jesus, your Redeemer.
