Today's Blog Title: "History's Clearest "I Love You"
Today's Scripture Reading: Romans 5:1-21
Today's Key Verse: Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrated His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
The believer now stands in a unique relationship with God which provides a new perspective on all life (verses 1-5). That perspective is rooted in the conviction that a God who was willing to give up His Son to bring us to Himself will surely, now that we are His, keep on working in us (verses 6-11).
What difference does Christ make in our situation? Paul summarizes in one of the New Testament's key theological passages (verses 12-21). Adam introduced death and sin into every person's experience, bringing us under condemnation and releasing those dark forces that make human life short and miserable.
In contrast, Christ as a second Adam created a new race of human beings, righteous rather than sinful, upheld by grace rather than weighted down by failure, alive rather than dead to the bright hope of life lived in the light of God's holiness and love. In Jesus Christ all things truly have become new!
Today's Hymn: "There's Something About That Name"
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, There's just something about that name
Master, Savior, Jesus, Like the fragrance after the rain
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Let all Heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, But there's something about that Name
Heaven Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how wonderful it is to have such a Loving and Gracious Heavenly Father whom loved us so much that You send Your only Son to die a sinners death upon the Cross of Calvary that we might be drawn closer to You. We thank you Father for Your inexhaustible supply of love that is poured out to us by the Holy Spirit who lives within us. How great is is to know that whatever may happen to us, we are always surrounded by love.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Jesus interjects life, the opposite of death, making us alive to God and guaranteeing a bright eternal future."
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you tell out, "I CAN'T", God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
"Let the certainty of God's love give you a new perspective on all of life."
