By faith we have been made acceptable to God. And now, because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we live at peace with God. Christ has also introduced us to God’s undeserved kindness on which we take our stand. ~ Romans 5:1-2 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
The Lord freely gives forgiveness.PRAYER:
Lord, you freely extend forgiveness and peace to all who will accept your kindness. But I am among those who still fall back on trying to prove my worthiness of your grace -- at least some of the time. Help me to trust in your faithfulness so that I can live exclusively by faith. I am going to live by what you give. Amen.
