Genesis 26:1-35; Job 32:1-33:33; Matthew 13:44-14:12
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. Romans 1:17-18
In his classic hymn, Amazing Grace, John Newton wrote that God’s grace taught him to fear the wrath of God. Yet the same grace taught him that through faith in Christ his sins would be permanently removed. In Christ he found peace. One must first known they are lost before they can be found. It is God’s grace that reveals our sinful condition as well as the remedy. Has Christ found you? —George Ferrier
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed! —John Newton
