Words of Encouragement
March - 28 - 2004
God's salvation leaves us no room for boasting. We couldn't live up to the righteous demands of the Law. When we are broken and sinful, God buys our salvation by sending Jesus and having him pay the debt of our sin. We have nothing to boast about except the overwhelmingly generous grace of God and the incredible sacrificial love of our Savior, Jesus.
The Bible reading today is from Romans 3:27-28.
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Let us pray.
Thank you, Father, for redeeming us from the righteous judgment of the Law. Thank you, Jesus, for paying our debt for sin. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for cleansing us and making us holy. Thank you, God, for your incredible grace.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
