“But where sin increased, grace increased all the more.”
— Romans 5:20
There is a dangerous lie that many of us have unknowingly embraced — the idea that somehow our sin is bigger than God’s grace.
We measure our failures, our past mistakes, and our struggles, and we begin to imagine a God who looks like us: limited, conditional, and easily disappointed. We create a false god in our minds that resembles our shame. And in doing so, we reduce the cross to something smaller than our brokenness.
But hear this truth:
The grace of God is greater than any sin you’ve ever committed.
The blood of Jesus did not flow halfway down the cross. It was poured out completely. His sacrifice wasn’t partial, it was perfect.
When Christ declared, “It is finished,” He wasn’t leaving room for debate. He wasn’t making an offer that depended on how many times we fell. He was sealing victory once and for all — victory over death, over sin, and over shame.
Too often, we try to cover our sins ourselves. We excuse them, rationalize them, or pretend they’re not as bad as they are. But that’s not true repentance. That’s self-justification. And self-justification only keeps us trapped.
True freedom comes when we humble ourselves before the Father, acknowledge our need for forgiveness, and receive the grace that has already been purchased through the blood of Jesus.
God’s grace isn’t based on how well we perform.
It’s based on what Christ already performed on the cross.
If you’ve been weighed down by the guilt of your past — if you’ve believed the lie that you’re too far gone or too broken — let this be the moment you surrender fully to the grace of God.
There is no sin that surprises Him.
There is no mistake that disqualifies you.
There is no failure that outweighs His mercy.
The cross is enough.
Grace wins every single time.
