John Wayne Gacy Jr.

“And in my best behavior, I am really just like him.”
John Wayne Gacy Jr. was a serial child rapist and murderer.
I’m no better.
Even in my best behavior, I was no better inside than He was. My good works were as filth before the Lord. And God didn’t see me any differently than He did Mr. Gacy.
Then Jesus loved me, saved me, and clothed me in His righteousness. Now He can work in me to change me. Now I am justified before God.
Really, though, outside of Christ we all deserve to be thought of with the same disgust with which we think of John.
Romans 3:21-25a – But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.
