LOVE WORTH FINDING 26TH FEBRUARY 2025 WEDNESDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: A Gift for the Guilty
“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” – Romans 10:1-4
Ponder This
Many in the world believe salvation is rooted in the merit of Man. If you were to walk up and down the streets of any city and ask people, “Are you going to Heaven?” many will say, “I hope so.” And if you were to ask, “Why?” they would likely say something like, “I’m trying to live as best I know how.” They think salvation is a reward for the righteous.

But salvation is not a reward for the righteous; salvation is a gift for the guilty. If you don’t understand that, you are never going to receive salvation. Paul wrote about his brothers in the flesh, people of the Jewish nation, that they were very religious and zealous but still misunderstood righteousness.
Many people in our culture are strutting to Hell—not because they’re drunkards, not because they’re thieves, but because they think they’re too good to be condemned. They trust in their own religion and good deeds. You are not good enough for Heaven. You need Jesus, not just for getting to Heaven but for every day you live on Earth.
- What is dangerous about depending on your good merit for salvation? How does the fact that salvation is a gift for the guilty give you hope?
- Who is someone who needs to know this hope? How can you share this with that person?
Practice This
Share the hope of this gift with someone who is struggling. Pray with and for that person and share your testimony of putting your trust in Christ.
