A broken and contrite heart

Key verses
Matthew 22:21 - "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

Romans 3:21-24 - But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Psalms
Psalm 51 is another psalm that makes me read through it twice.  It is so comforting to see that even after grievous sin we can approach God, humble at heart, and know that he will respond in grace and mercy.  God's unfailing love and great compassion, shown through Jesus's death on the cross, will come through for us time and again, if we come with a broken spirit and contrite heart.
