What We Deserve

When we pray for forgiveness, we are asking for something that we do not deserve. But we are agreeing with God that He is right and we are wrong. And if our repentance is real, we are telling God that we intend to turn from the wrong that we've been doing. Despite our failures and weaknesses, Christ Jesus is the reason that we get exactly what we do not deserve --- God's forgiveness.
