If we see our past, none of us deserve the salvation, out of his magnificent kindness he has saved us and He has hand picked us.
‘I will surely show you kindness.’
2 Samuel 9:7
In Bible times, when a new king ascended to the throne, he commonly killed or banished each and every member of the historical king’s family. So, here’s the story. Jonathan, King Saul’s son, and David, whom Saul hated, have been shut friends. So close, they made a covenant to guard one every other with their lives. After Jonathan and Saul died in battle, Jonathan had one last son known as Mephibosheth. So, David had him delivered to the palace, saying, ‘I will sincerely exhibit you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will repair to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will constantly consume at my table.’ Mephibosheth used to be dwelling in Lo Debar, which skill ‘the land of nothing…the region of no bread’ (see two Samuel 9:4-5). That’s significant, due to the fact when your shallowness is non-existent, your environment typically replicate it. You both supply up completely, or go to the different excessive by way of striving to be perfect. But you don’t have to do either.
The Bible says, ‘God, for Christ’s sake has forgiven you’ (see Ephesians 4:32). Your acceptance with God isn’t based totally on who you are, however Whose you are! Mephibosheth used to be lame in each toes and couldn’t stroll properly. And spiritually speaking, you couldn’t either! Yet Mephibosheth ‘ate at the king’s table; he was once lame in each feet’ (2 Samuel 9:13 NIV ). His lame ft couldn’t be considered due to the fact they have been hidden below the king’s table. And God does the equal for you too! He wraps you in the righteousness of Christ and places all your sins below the blood. That skill you’re continually perfect in His sight - such as this very moment.
