The Year in Review - Part 2
Psalm 14:3
12/30/2025
3 They have all turned aside; together they have
become corrupt; there is none who does good, not
even one. (ESV)
We are counting down the top truths you have heard in the
Moments of Meditation broadcast in 2025. First on the list, the
Bible is the Word of God. We believe, teach, and confess that
the Bible contains two great teachings, the Law and the Gospel.
The Law shows us our sin, the Gospel shows us our Savior.
None of us like the Law. None of us likes to hear what we
have done wrong. When Adam took the forbidden fruit from Eve and
ate, he realized that he had truly sinned. Paradise was lost,
and his relationship with God was broken.
When God walked in the Garden of Eden in the cool of the
evening, Adam and Eve hid in shame. They wanted nothing to do
with a just, righteous, and perfect God. The Law did its work,
it accused them of sin.
King David, who was the author of many of the Psalms, wrote:
``They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good, not even one.'' We don't like to
hear that truth. Especially, we don't like to hear that there is
nothing we can do to make up for our sins, for our failings.
We go to Church, not because we are holy, but because we are
sinners. God invites us into His presence, not to punish us, but
to redeem us through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus
Christ. Rather than hiding from God, He desires to bring us back
into His household.
May our Lord grant that we believe the accusation of the Law
so that we can believe the good news of Jesus Christ. Amen.
