Today's Reading
1 Chronicles. David and Solomon both exercised great wisdom as they dedicated themselves to build the Temple and worship God. They were building something that opened the way to God for all who had a heart to follow Him. Unfortunately, many Jews took it as a sign of their superiority over others. How many Christians have had the same attitude through the ages?
Romans. Sin is universal. We are all guilty! There is only one adequate payment for sin and it was made by Jesus Christ, the Son of God, on the cross. The only way to clear our sin account with God is through faith, trusting in Christ alone for salvation. That's the Gospel in a nutshell!
Psalms. God loves the poor and oppressed. Do we?
Proverbs. Thank you, Lord, for my wife. She is truly a gift to me!
What do you see today? Do you have questions for us?

I love how plain it is in Romans 3:19-31. Paul explains why we aren't saved by what we do, but because of what Jesus did. He also explains how the Law reveals our sin. The Gospel pieces together seamlessly and you would think it is difficult to understand because of all the parts that work together, but it's truly not difficult. It's beautiful.
ReplyDelete...our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith.
ReplyDeleteI think the use of the word "Acquittal" here puts our salvation in very real terms.
