Romans 3:23-27 ERV
23 All have sinned and are not good enough to share God’s divine greatness. 24 They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made
free from sin through Jesus Christ. 25-26 God gave Jesus as a way to forgive people’s
sins through their faith in him. God can forgive them because the blood sacrifice of Jesus
pays for their sins. God gave Jesus to show that he always does what is right and fair.
He was right in the past when he was patient and did not punish people for their sins.
And in our own time he still does what is right. God worked all this out in a way that
allows him to judge people fairly and still make right any person who has faith in Jesus.
27 So do we have any reason to boast about ourselves? No reason at all. And why not?
Because we are depending on the way of faith, not on what we have done in following the law.
How long has it been since you thought about the great sacrifice God made for you?
Spend some time considering your redemption.
When you consider your own sinful nature, how great does God’s gift of grace appear?
Spend some time thanking Him for your salvation.
How can you actively thank God today for His great gift?
