The gospel is that Christ fully paid the penalty we deserved and we can do nothing except receive His salvation by faith. Human pride wants to play a part. It wants to earn it, or deserve it. But the Bible tells us, "Salvation belongs to the Lord" (Ps. 3:8). It is all of grace. If Jesus Christ crucified is your substitute and your hope, you will know the salvation of God and will remember His scars. If your love for the Lord has grown cold, go back to the cross and remember the scars—not just the physical scars, but the scars of God's wrath that Jesus bore in your place. Let His amazing love turn your heart from sin and give you more devotion to serve Him and speak the truth in love to a lost and hurting world.
