Pensamento:
Paulo está voltando ao ponto em Romanos 3, de que nenhum de nós chega perto da perfeição e santidade de Deus. Então, como chegamos lá? Como escapamos da fortaleza do pecado? A resposta de Deus é Jesus! Eu acredito que esta também deve ser a nossa resposta!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul is driving home the point in Romans 3 that none of us can come close to approximating God's perfection, righteousness, compassion, grace, and holiness. So how do we get there? How do we escape the stranglehold and guilt of sin? God's answer is Jesus! I believe that must be our answer, too!
Jesus came to ransom us from sin (Mark 10:45), paying the price for our sin even while we were sinners (Romans 5:6-11). We couldn't earn our way to God by our goodness, so Jesus became our bridge back to God. The glorious truth is now this:
God made him [Jesus] who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Oração:
Deus Santo e Justo, eu admito diante do Senhor o pecado em minha vida. Por favor, abençoe-me e dê-me poder para viver como um filho vitorioso. No nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém. || Não perca a imagem especial de hoje! http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_romanos3_10.html
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous God, I acknowledge my sinfulness as I come into your presence in prayer. Yet by faith, dear Father, I trust in what your Son did for me through his death, burial, and resurrection. I believe my trust in his work and your grace will bring me life and make me holy (Colossians 1:22). Please bless and empower me to live as your victorious child because of your amazing grace and the power of the Holy Spirit within me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
