Romans 3:23-24 NIV
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”
MESSAGE
We fall short of God’s glory in many ways, often more than we’d like to admit. esus’ death on the cross paid the price for our sins—both those we’ve committed and those we will commit. There is no more price to pay, except receiving God’s free gift of grace. He has already paid for each of us, past, present, and future. Through this act, we have been redeemed and set free from the bondage of sin.
Do YOU believe in Jesus Christ dying for your sins?
When we sing ‘My Redeemer lives,’ we acknowledge that God bought us back through His Son, who lives in each of us, transforming us into His sinless image. Thank you, Holy Spirit for guiding us daily in this transformation. Let’s live in that truth and walk in that grace.
Today, we acknowledge that we may stumble in our walks with Christ, but we rise with confidence, knowing we will become more Christlike and sinless. Our journey may not be perfect, but God’s grace is abundant, and it is through this grace that we are continually renewed.
