Romans 3:23-28
For everyone has sinned;
we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
Yet God, with undeserved kindness,
declares that we are righteous.
He did this through Christ Jesus
when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin.
People are made right with God when
they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life,
shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that
God was being fair when he held back and
did not punish those who sinned in times past,
for he was looking ahead and including them
in what he would do in this present time.
God did this to demonstrate his righteousness,
for he himself is fair and just, and he
declares sinners to be right in his sight
when they believe in Jesus.
Can we boast, then, that we have doneanything to be accepted by God? No,
because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law.
It is based on faith. So we are made right
with God through faith and not by obeying the law.
He loves us no matter what! wow I don't know a human who would ever do this for me!
Today make sure you thank God for everything even the small things!
