SCRIPTURE: Romans (NIV) 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
OBSERVATION: What a statement of the matchless wisdom of God. His wisdom is perfect, so He is perfect in judgment.
What causes the writer to make such a glorious statement of the character and judgments of God?
The preceding verse: 32 For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
Every person alive has been born with a nature bent toward sinning. All have sinned! (Rom 3:23) But the all-glorious God demonstrated His love and wisdom in providing a way to be free from the sin-nature and free from the punishment of sin. Available to all is the forgiveness and redeemed nature provided through the cross of Jesus!
APPLICATION: Through accepting the death of Jesus on the cross as the payment for our sins and placing Him as the Lord of our lives, we receive forgiveness for sins and a new life in Christ Jesus. We receive the promise of a glorious home in heaven.
PRAYER: Oh, the depths of your riches of wisdom and knowledge, Oh, God! Though undeserving, you have made me your child and given me an eternal home with you! Amen
