Daily Bible Verse and Devotion
“Yet
God freely and graciously declares that we are righteous. He did this through
Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.” – Romans 3:24
Have you ever thought about the fact
that there is a penalty to sin? Our sin keeps us from God. God can’t have sin
around Him, so if you sin, even in the smallest way, that sin keeps you from
God.
Our sin demands that we be separated
from God. That’s not what God wanted for us, however. So He sent Jesus to die
on the cross to pay the penalty for sin. Jesus’ sacrifice allows us to be with
God.
This is great news for anyone who
accepts Jesus into their heart. This means they are freed from what they
deserved for sin. To God you’re righteous. What Jesus did was payment for our
sins. When God looks at you, He doesn’t see your failures and your sin. Instead
He sees us righteous, made holy by the blood of Jesus.
