#romans 5:1-11

[walkswithmyfather]

Romans 5:1-11 (ESV). [1] “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. [2] Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. [3] Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, [4] and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, [5] and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. [6] For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. [7] For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— [8] but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. [10] For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. [11] More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”

“Jesus’ Offer of Peace” By In Touch Ministries:

“Peace isn't dependent on circumstances—it's ours when we surrender to the Lord.”

“What gives us peace? Most people would say inner tranquility is dependent upon circumstances—like a solid relationship with a spouse, a well-paying job, or good health. But what happens when a couple fights, the company lays off employees, or sickness saps the body? Then, the serenity we thought we had crumbles, because peace rooted in good situations isn’t really peace at all.

Jesus is the only One who offers a deep, lasting contentment that is unshakeable. However, we cannot experience that genuine sense of calm unless we are living in His will. Submission to the Lord and His plans allows His peace to permeate our life.

When the Holy Spirit lives within us, we can approach each day confidently and serenely, but that happens only through a relationship with the Savior. The apostle Paul explains that to be justified—that is, declared no longer guilty—we must accept the sacrifice Christ made in our place. Justification makes us right with God and opens our hearts to His peace (Rom. 5:1).

If you haven’t yet acknowledged to God that you recognize His Son’s loving sacrifice was made on your behalf, now is the right time to surrender to Him.”

O Radix Jesse, qui stas in signum populorum, super quem continebunt reges os suum, quem Gentes deprecabuntur: veni ad liberandum nos, jam noli tardare.

O Root of Jesse, you stand as a sign for all peoples; before you kings shall keep silence, and nations shall seek you out: come to deliver your people, and do not delay. ——————————————————————————————————— 1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a flower shall rise up out of his root.

"I'm Not Good Enough" is Only One of the Lies

“I’m not good enough” is only one of the lies we tell ourselves. Moreover, this is what I told myself most of my life along with other lies like “You’re not good enough”, “You’ll never amount to anything”, “You’re too fat”, “You’re not pretty enough”, and the like. What Lies Do You Tell Yourself? I guess the point that I’m trying to make is that these are lies. So, why did I continue to believe…

A Credible Resurrection Requires Credible Witnesses

(The resurrection on Easter Sunday, the last of the Ten days of Passion Week)  All over the world, people today are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. It’s an interesting phenomenon because most rational people know that it is impossible to raise anyone from the dead, right? And yet, believers everywhere accept by faith that the resurrection actually occurred. Why? Is there a reason why…

Romans 8:11 (NLT) “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”

Galatians 5:22-23 (ESV). “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. ”

Acts 1:6-8 (NIV). Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

“The Power Within” By In Touch Ministries:

“The love we give will always have more impact in our world than the words we say.”

“If you’ve received Jesus as your Savior, then the One who raised Him from the dead—the Holy Spirit—resides within you (Romans 8:11)! Just think about the unsurpassed power needed to bring about the resurrection. And now God’s Spirit pours His energy into producing godliness in all who follow the Lord.

In Galatians 5:22-23, we read about the “fruit of the Spirit”—the character and conduct produced by the Holy Spirit. These are qualities that we can’t generate consistently on our own. Especially in this Christmas season, the most powerful message we can give isn’t a testimony or sermon; it’s the way we live our life. The world doesn’t need more festive decorations or empty songs. Instead, it needs to witness godly families loving one another, businesspeople working with integrity and frugality, and believers serving their neighbors.

By showing peace instead of anxiety, or patience instead of frustration, a Christian bears witness to the beauty of God’s good news. The strongest gospel message doesn’t necessarily come from a pulpit; it comes from wherever you work, live, and relax—because of Jesus Christ in you. During the next few weeks and on into the New Year, be mindful of the message you preach through your words and actions.”

A Saturday Meditation Between Horror and Glory

Mis-named or Perfectly Named? Yesterday, in the mis-named/perfectly named, Good Friday, we reminded ourselves of the price of our redemption. Today we remind ourselves of the utter loneliness and suffering of the early disciples. On Saturday, their vision of the greatness of the sacrifice was obscured by the pain of their loss, and un-ameliorated by the glory of what would happen on Sunday…
