Our Scripture reading today is Psalm 71:16, "I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make
mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only."
We see two great needs in this verse that can only be met by a relationship with God.
Strength and righteousness are what every lost sinner need. Without God, we are not
only weak, but we are also bound for eternity in Hell. God's love provided a way to
have His righteousness and strength. Jesus Christ is the link between fallen man and
a holy God. Every day, strength is provided through God's grace. Every day. access is
provided to God through His Son.
Salvation provides eternal life, but it provides many other benefits. The two mentioned
above are a great encouragement as we live day by day.
