I have spoken with many who dared not darken the door of a church for fear that their sins might be found out. Some have taken pride in their loose lifestyle claiming that they are happy to follow the road that leads to hell. Others proclaim that they are haunted by their sins, but have not been willing to leave them behind in order to follow Christ. Whether you are living wildly without regard, or stumbling in your guilt, one thing is sure. Your sins are never too big. God's grace is offered to anyone who is willing to put their Faith in Christ alone. The truth is that given 100 lifetimes, we could never build a heap of good works that would outweigh our rotting pile of sin. That is why God's grace is so miraculous! You could never earn it, but it is offered to you freely still. Charles Spurgeon spoke on this very topic and leaves us with a beautiful picture of God's grace in light of our sin.
"The bridge of grace will bear your weight, brother. Thousands of big sinners have gone across that bridge, yea, tens of thousands have gone over it. Some have been the chief of sinners and some have come at the very last of their days but the arch has never yielded beneath their weight. I will go with them trusting to the same support. It will bear me over as it has for them."

This comment is so succinct, yet pithy. It captures the great need and the gracious depth of God's Grace. We are all (christian and infidel) buried in our sin. God is ready to lift us out if we only take His hand and never let it go. Once He lifts us to new heights of righteousness, we retain that propensity for sin that we inherited from Adam; therefore we must cling to that Hand of God daily for the rest of our lives. What a Gift!
