An Enemy Of Christ

Some part of me deep down feels as if God saw a speck of good in me, and took pity on me because of this grain of sand. How long will it take for me to wholly understand the gospel?

I have done nothing to merit his favor. Not only that, I have even pushed him away. His own word says before his saving work in my life, I was his enemy. Wow. That is such a massive part of the gospel that I can't fully grasp. But it's vital to know.

It breaks my heart even more before the cross. But more than that, it is crucial for me to see that God saved me, even though I was his enemy, because it is from this perspective I must view his current enemies. It should not be as one I can't understand, but as one I used to be.
