God's Glory Church

“And Moses was afraid, and said to himself, “Truly, the matter has become known!”” – Exodus 2:14

The crime was horrific, and the person who committed it was sentenced to life in prison. In the following years, while in solitary confinement, he repented and turned to Christ, finding in Him mental and spiritual healing. After that, he was allowed limited contact with other prisoners. By God’s grace, some of them, through his testimony, also accepted Christ as their Savior and received forgiveness of sins.

Moses, now a recognized hero of the faith, somehow also committed a crime. Seeing “an Egyptian who was beating a Jew from among his brothers… he killed the Egyptian and buried him in the sand” (Ex. 2:11-12). But despite this sin, God by His grace did not turn away from His imperfect servant. Later, He chose Moses to deliver the Israelites from oppression (Ex. 3:10). In the Epistle to the Romans, the apostle Paul writes that “the gift of grace is a justification from many sins” (Rom. 5:16). Grace changes and reconciles us to God, regardless of past sins.

It may seem to us that the evil committed deprives us of the right to God’s mercy and service for His glory. But through His grace in Christ, we can change ourselves and help others.

How has God and His grace changed you? What changes is He calling you to make now?

Heavenly Father, thank You for the grace that transforms.
