Fantastic Friday #280- Hardened

Hardened


22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:22-24

I watched a brief 4 minute interview clip this week with a very famous individual who believes very strongly in the theory of evolution, and in his comments he surmised there was a .1% chance that there might be a God. He then related a couple of situations in his life of where his life was spared, but even after those close-to-death experiences he still doesn't believe in God. A friend of mine noted after watching the clip "how gracious of God to rescue him knowing that his heart would be hardened." Do you see your heart hardened when you don't acknowledge how God works in your life, or when you don't appreciate the creation God has placed us in. Or do you know someone whose heart is hardened and continues to resist the free gift of grace to all those who believe. Either way, God can soften your heart or theirs which can lead to glorifying God. Keep your eye on the Lord and through faith those hard hearts can turn soft.

Have a great weekend.
