PSALM 106:6 (CEB)
We have sinned—right along with our ancestors.
We’ve done what is wrong.
We’ve acted wickedly.
ROMANS 3:28 (NLT)
So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's solution to our sinfulness is a life defined by faith in Christ Jesus.
DAILY FODDER
Some people are naturally better than others, but none of us have the moral stamina to cross the finish line. Our only hope is to piggyback on Jesus who has the strength to cross the line with all who will trust him to carry them.
PRAYER
You, Savior Jesus, are the perfect person we all fail to be. As hard as we try we can't overcome our sinfulness. We know that our only hope is to trust you and what you've done on our behalf. I do trust you and I ask that you increase my faith so that I'm living in harmony with you and your ways. You are my 24/7, moment-by-moment, Savior. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
