(August 11, 2015)
There
is a part of each of us, I suppose, that wants to ignore the truth that we are
all sinners and equally condemned under the law. Whether we see those who we believe to be
more righteous (and thus condemn ourselves – and, by implication, limit the
power of the Atonement) or whether we see those we believe to be more wicked
(and thus condemn them – and, by implication, limit the power of the Atonement)
we are seemingly built to want to ignore this powerful truth.
But
that is something that comes from the natural man. Instead we must recognize that the law must
and does yield to Christ through the mechanism of the Atonement. We are all equally sinners, and we are all
equally saved if, and only if, we surrender our wills to Christ and accept the
Salvation He has already completed on our behalf.
Comparisons
become meaningless in the light of truths of that sort.
