"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." – Romans 3:23–24We often live like spiritual job applicants—constantly updating our resumes, polishing our image, and hoping we’ve done enough to earn God’s approval.
