9:12 But when he heard it, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 9:13 Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
God didn't look at our frazzed lives and say, 'I'll die for you when you deserve it".
No despite our sin, in the face of our rebellion, He chose to adopt us. And for God, there is no going back. His grace is a come-as-you-are promise from a one-of-a kind King. You've been found, called and adopted; so trust your Father and claim this verse as your own: "God showed His love for us in this way: Christ died for us while we were still sinners" (Rom. 5:8). And you never again have to wonder who your Father is - you've been adopted by God and are therefore an "Heir of God through Christ" (Gal. 4:7).
