THE DIVINE "BUT"
In grammar, "but" cancels what came before it. In the Bible, it is where God rewrites a man's destiny.
The Bible declares our hopeless condition: "You were dead in trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1), and "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). If the story ended there, we would all be condemned.
But thank God for the Divine "BUT".
“BUT GOD, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love... made us alive together with Christ" (Ephesians 2:4-5). We were lost, BUT God loved us. We were guilty, BUT He showed mercy.
We were also helpless to save ourselves, for salvation is "not by works... it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). We could not reach heaven, BUT Christ came down to us and died in our place.
Now you must choose. "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life... BUT the wrath of God abides on him who does not believe" (John 3:36).
Today, let your story change from "I was condemned, BUT Christ saved me." Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.
