There is the vilest and most
unworthy creature that has ever entered heaven. By Stephen Ting. Their sin abounded, grace abounded
much more. Romans chapter 5 verse 2. I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more. Hebrews chapter 8 verse
12. Jesus has pardoned the immense
mountain of my sin. It is impossible to overstate
this. Nothing can be more vile than the view of my original
debasement and corruption, of my wayward youth, of my rejection
of His love, of my rebellion against His authority, of my
unthankfulness for His goodness, of my backslidings from His way,
of my inconsistent profession, of my vain and sinful example,
of the wickedness of my unconverted state, and of the failings of
my renewed state. Alas! every day and every act
brings up its distinct testimony, and all condemn me. But Jesus
has blotted out my whole horrifying record. He has hurled all my
sins into the depths of the sea and remembers them no more. When
once in heaven, I would willingly have it said of me, there is
the vilest and most unworthy creature that has ever entered
heaven. My sin has fearfully abounded, but His grace has so
much the more abounded. All the glory for my salvation
is His. How blessed are those whose transgressions
are forgiven, whose sins are covered! How blessed is the man
whose sin the Lord will never count against him! Romans chapter
4, verses 7 and 8
