The human hand is a fascinating and wonderful creation. One hardly ever gives thought to its twenty-seven bones animated by over sixty muscles, articulated by thirty-nine joints and protected by its water-tight, selfhealing covering we call skin. And yet this biological marvel instantly obeys our every command, both conscious and subconscious, performing countless skills from the powerful to most delicate twenty-four hours a day. Most of us hardly ever consider the wonder of the human hand. When we do, however, it reveals the wonder of creation and the genius of our Creator. Yet, here is another way of looking at our hand that reveals the wonder of eternity and the genius of our Savior. Let the five fingers of your hand represent five marvelous truths of eternal significance for us all... The Thumb represents Grace because like a ride given to a hitchhiker, eternal life is a free gift of God's grace.
What the Bible Says:
“The gift of God is eternal life.” Romans 6:23
The Index Finger reminds us of Man. We may point out the sins in others, but there are always three fingers pointing back at ourselves. We all have a problem called sin.
What the Bible Says:
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
Jesus says the passing grade for entry into Heaven is perfection. “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matthew 5:48
Think About It:
Think About It:
Anything that is truly considered a gift must be free and is neither earned nor deserved. Even so, Heaven is a free gift, not earned or deserved.
We all share a problem. It’s found in the heart of “Mankind”…
Just as an omelet made with a rotten egg would not be acceptable, so our lives containing any sin at all are certainly not perfect and are not acceptable to God.
That is the reason we cannot save ourselves!
