Prompt: How does it stir your soul to consider God's wrath fell on Christ instead of sinners?"

To be honest, my mind still has trouble wrapping around the concept. I am human and I tend to think in human terms. It is difficult for me to think like and understand God. I have to take it on faith that He loves me and forgives me no matter what. This becomes even harder when I find myslf in a patterm of sin. I know better than to sin. I know sin is harmful to me and therefore God hates it. I know God wants only the very best for me. Yet I find there are some sins that are nothing short of addictions. Try as I may I cannot overcome them and find myself engaging in them even though I know they are against God's will. At this point the accuser steps in with "See, I told you so. You're week and useless to God. God cannot forgive you because you intentionally, flippantly, and defiantly sin against Him. You are useless and lost."

At this point all I can say is "Yes. I am weak and helpless. I'm addicted to sin and will be as long as I remain in this flesh. However Jesus died for me once and forever. No matter how rebellious my attitude and no matter what you maay say Accuser, I am covered with the blood of the Lamb. Every sin I ever committed, continue to commit, or ever will commit was forgiven at the cross. Jesus did not save me and expect me to keep myself saved by living perfectly ever after. Jesus saved me period and that is the end of the story."
