The Total so Far is.....

What if? What if you were assigned an angel, not a guardian angel, but an accounting angel, to watch your every step? An angel to meticulously count your every mistake, every misbehavior, every misfeasance, every misstep, every misreckoning, every mismanagement, every misbegotten thought, every misnomer, every miscue, every miscalculation, every misconduct, every mishap, every misunderstanding, every misalliance, every trivial misdemeanor, and every mischievous misthought, time date and place!
It might go something like this: he fell down, he got up, he fell down, he fell down, he fell down, he barely got up, he fell down, he stayed down, someone helped him up, he fell down and kept falling, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera!
Romans 3:23 says: “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Attitude is not the issue, restoration is the issue. Romans 6:23 says: “For the wages of sin is death, the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.” Everyone must travel the Roman Road to have restoration.
What if, on Judgment Day, your scrupulously precise angel presented all the books on your behavior, and they stacked up like a redwood forest. The judge sees your Roman Road passport and dismisses all charges!
