A little boy asked his mother,
“How am I to be saved, Mother?”
“By coming to Jesus.”
“But I have heard that I must be good, or else God will not save me,” said the boy.
“My boy, Jesus died to save the bad, not the good. It is your badness, not your goodness, you must carry to Jesus.”
“That is good news,” cried the boy, “how cruel it was to tell me God would have nothing to do with me unless I was good.”
“Yes, it was,” replied the mother, “you can’t he good until you carry your badness to Jesus.”
The little boy did carry his badness to Jesus, and found that all goodness was in Him, “who forgiveth all iniquities.” He must have been made very happy, for he could know thatall his iniquities were laid on Jesus, when He suffered on the cross; and that God would never rember them against him.
“Blessed (happy) are they whose in iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.” Rom. 4:7,87Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. (Romans 4:7‑8).
