I’m wondering what you mean when you ask “End of story?” since life goes on. I’m thinking that it might be more encouraging to think “I am not good. But God is… praise God!” But maybe I’m misunderstanding you when you asked “end of story?” Were you saying something like…”enough said?” or asking if the knowledge that “I am not good and God is” is all we need to know?
When I said God’s good. I’m not. End of story?, I attached the end of story part as a question. Is that the end of the story? Of course it’s not. And I knew this as I’m sure you did. But I was trying to emphasize the hopelessness we’d face if that was the end of the story and the grace the believer is given since that’s not the end of the story.
It reminds me of a favorite verse of mine in Romans 5:6:
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
amen and amen. And I promise, I’m not the person who wrote the anonymous comment! I’ve done that once before by accident…sorry. :/
I am “Anonymous.” I didn’t realize until I sent my question that I forgot to leave my name. Sorry about that.
Thanks, Wilson, for explaining that for me! Romans 5:6 IS such an great verse.
