AMAZING GRACE. As the Lord Jesus said in John 17:17, "Thy Word is truth." Because God's Word is truth, it's incumbent upon us that we strive to understand God's truth rightly. Even so, there are still a few areas of doctrine where genuine Christians might disagree, e.g. the End Times. However, one area where all genuine Christians should be on the same page is when it comes to being thankful. Paul often thanked God for the "heart surgery" that He performed on many pure pagans throughout the Roman empire in bringing them to life-changing faith in Jesus Christ. And with good reason! People in the Roman Empire were commonly consumed with many sins. They certainly trusted in and worshipped dozens of imaginary, lifeless gods and goddesses. Concerning this, Paul wrote, "Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image made like corruptible man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts" (Rom. 1:22-24). Paul also listed out some of the life-consuming sins which were practiced throughout the Roman culture when he told the Corinthians, "Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you" (1 Cor. 6:10-11). It's no wonder that Paul thanked God for His amazing grace that can save and transform even those consumed by such dark sins when they humbly trusted in the One who loved them and gave Himself for their sins. The same is still true today. Paul's statement, "And such were some of you" speaks of all who have come to genuine faith in Jesus in our day. Sin consumed us and controlled us, but Calvary changed us and placed our feet on the Rock, the Lord Jesus Christ! Amazing grace, indeed!
