G0SPEL NUGGET # 537

EX 33:5 For the LORD had said to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel, ‘You are an obstinate people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you.

Though these words apply primarily to Israel, it can be applied to the rest of mankind. 

Man is utterly depraved that apart from the grace of God, apart from the Lord Jesus Christ, there is not a single moment when we are acceptable to God. In ourselves, we are ripe for God’s judgment every single moment.

But thank be God that He gave us the Lord Jesus Christ. 

HEB 7:25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

Every single moment, in ourselves, we are ripe for judgment. But we have the Lord Jesus Christ who always lives moment by moment to make intercession for us. He made a sacrifice on the cross good for all moments, good for all time.

Put your trust in Him and His work on the cross. He is the only way by which God’s judgment and condemnation could be averted.
