Unknown Bible Study leader reveals that she struggles with self focus and spiritual pride. She loves the Lord and knows Him from their daily time together. She longs to obey Him. She has grown in knowing God's character and sees how far short she falls of it. She knows that she is
unworthy
unholy
unable to stand before God's throne
Her sin is no less vile than her previous battle with immorality. She know she does not deserve God's grace, but then no one does. It is free.
John Newton, slave trader, slave rapist, and infidel wrote:
'Amazing grace
how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me.'
Paul too looks to that same grace as the only answer for not only his initial salvation but the civil war in his soul, now. He says:
'Wretched man that I am
Who will rescue me from this body of death?'
He describes that war, knowing God so intimately and loving him so fiercely and longing to please him completely and yet failing again and again.
God on the other hand, keeps extending his grace to John, to Paul, to the unknown Bible study leader and to you.
