Just as I am, without one plea...

At the end of our lives, when we die, we will all stand judgement before the Throne of God. We will have to give account of the lives we have lived here on this earth. On that day, we can do one of three things, either (a) apologize for not living an absolutely perfect, sinless life and ask for forgiveness (b) be an arrogant, haughty person and claim our own righteousness or (c) claim the blood of Jesus. The right answer is (c) if you have believed upon the name of Jesus and are saved, then you have nothing to worry about. When on that day I stand before God, I know that I will plead the Blood of Jesus. I have believed in the Son of God, and nothing else I say or do will make a difference except for saying that I believed in Christ Jesus.

This reminds me of one of my favorite hymns: 

Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not
to rid my soul of one dark blot,
to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict, many a doubt,
fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
