ISAIAH 59:2 (MSG)
There’s nothing wrong with God; the wrong is in you.
Your wrongheaded lives caused the split between you and God.
Your sins got between you so that he doesn’t hear.
ROMANS 6:23 (CEV)
Sin pays off with death. But God's gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Sin is destructive but God is life-giving.
DAILY FODDER
How does one receive God's gift?
PRAYER
Please hear my cry, Lod Jesus. When given the choice to work for sin's wages or receive your free gift, I too often choose the wages. I like accountability and payment. What's free seems risky. But life in you is eternal. Today I choose your gift of life. Thank you for forgiving me and showing me your face. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
