Meditation Monday #11 with Gospel Gal: Who Can Stand?

Psalm 130 poses a question that is repeated throughout Scripture. "If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?" On today's meditation Monday, listen to John Fonville answer this age-old question, and the question that burns in our hearts so often.

Thanks be to God in our Lord Jesus Christ. Our standing is not in what we have done, what we can do or will do. It is in the perfect work done outside of us for us in His justifying, propitiating work. 

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. (Romans 4:5-8)

Psalm 130:3-4
New King James Version
3 If You, Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.
