‘The 99’ by Mac Powell Reminds Us No One Is Ever Too Far Gone

Everyone is a sinner who needs to be brought back into a right relationship with Him. On this point, the Bible is completely clear where it stands, leaving no room to be interpreted in any other possible way. Romans 3:23 states that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. However, thankfully for us, that is not where things end.

The very next verse, Romans 3:24, mentions that even though we may be sinners, we can be forgiven only because of His grace and experience salvation, which is only available and found in Jesus Christ. Because of His love, He made a way for sinners to be forgiven and redeemed. And because of His love, He will never stop chasing after the lost. Even if the 99 may be saved, He will always remain concerned for and chase after the one.

In the official music video for his tune “The 99,” Mac reinforces the idea that God is constantly reaching out and running after the one. While our sin may be greater, the Lord’s grace and love will always be greater. There is nowhere we could go or anything we could do to escape His love.

“I know You left the 99 to come and rescue me
When I had wandered way too far from where I’m supposed to be
There ain’t no one too far gone, oh Jesus, I believe
‘Cause I know You left the 99 to come and rescue me”

Those lyrics perfectly describe the powerful, loving, faithful, and merciful God we serve.

Revelation 3:20 “See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man’s ears and he makes the door open, I will come in to him and will take food with him and he with me.”
