Scripture: Romans 5: 8-9
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!
Scripture Commentary:
We are descendants of Adam but we are the children of God. We were born sinners but Jesus saved us from God’s wrath. God gives us His peace. This may differ from peaceful feelings such as calmness and tranquility.
Jesus paid for our sins.
Because Jesus died for us on the cross, the price for our sins has been paid. God loved us so much that He sent His Son to save us. He also sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us. The Holy Spirit enables us to live.
If you ever feel uncertain about God’s love for you, remember that He loved you even before you turned to Him. God loved you when you were a lost sinner. And He can strengthen you now that you have returned to love Him.
You can pray for God’s power and love at any time.
Be assured that having begun a life with Christ, you have a reserve of power and love to call on each day. You have help to meet every challenge or trial.
