Daily Scripture
 
"Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness."

Psalm 37:3

"It seems difficult for the mind to grasp that, as revealed in God's Word, God does not deal with any sin in mercy or leniency. The sinner is never forgiven because God is big hearted enough to remit the penalty or waive the righteous judgments. Any representation of divine forgiveness which represents God as directly exercising clemency toward a sinner is a fatal detraction from the meaning of the cross of Christ, and is a disastrous misrepresentation of the truth in the Gospel of His saving grace... The fact that Christ as substitute has already borne the undiminished righteous judgments of God against sin, is the sole ground upon which divine forgiveness is now exercised. The forgiveness of God toward sinners, therefore, is not an immediate act of grace; it is rather a judicial pardon of a debtor in view of the fact that his debt has been fully paid by another."

~Lewis Sperry Chaffer
