Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone. ~ Romans 5:18b (NLT)
Christ Jesus, because of the compassion of God, your righteous sacrifice on the cross extended righteousness and forgiveness to everyone. I accept that gift and will let your righteousness, forgiveness, and compassion reprogram my life. And I know that it will happen because you have made me your friend. Thank you. Amen.Challenging Words
