Romans 5:8- “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Please join the choir. No talent required.
I was excited to read these words in our church bulletin. Let’s just say that if they’d hold auditions based on talent, I wouldn’t have a chance.
Oh, I do like to sing along with the car radio, and once in awhile in the shower. I do worship in song from my seat in church.
But, up front and center? Behind a microphone? Oh, no, that would never happen.
Most choirs, I was sure, would never “accept” me. But, the call for new members for the church choir said no one would be refused.
Maybe I would go to that first practice on Wednesday night…
Even though a lot of things in life must be earned, we don’t need to be talented, perfect, or beautiful to be accepted by God. We don’t have to do a certain number of good works or fulfill specific requirements.
Membership in God’s family is “come as you are.” Even though we are sinners, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
