It's me again God,
Reading through Romans, I realise that all too often I go through my day, forgetting the enormity of the grace I live in. Thank You so much for sending Jesus and turning things around for us. Today I will celebrate all that You have done:
"Death once held us in its grip, and by the blunder of one man, death reigned as king over humanity. But now, how much more are we held in the grip of grace and continue reigning as kings in life, enjoying our regal freedom through the gift of perfect righteousness in the one and only Jesus, the Messiah! In other words, just as condemnation came upon all people through one transgression, so through one righteous act of Jesus' sacrifice, the perfect righteousness that makes us right with God and leads us to a victorious life now available to all. One man's disobedience opened the door for all humanity to become sinners. So also one man's obedience opened the door for many to be made perfectly right with God and acceptable to him. So then, the law was introduced into God's plan to bring the reality of human sinfulness out of hiding. And yet, wherever sin increased, there was more than enough of God's grace to triumph all the more! And just as sin reigned through death, so also this sin-conquering grace will reign as king through righteousness, imparting eternal life through Jesus, our Lord and Messiah!"
Romans 5:17-21 TPTI declare with confidence and thanksgiving that:
Death no longer holds me in its grip! I am held in the grip of grace!
I reign in life and will enjoy my regal freedom through Jesus, the gift of perfect righteousness!
I am right with You Father because of Jesus' sacrifice!
I am perfectly acceptable and righteous in Your eyes!
I live a victorious life!
I will make sure that everyone I know realises that this amazing gift of grace is available to them too!Thank You that wherever sin increases there is more than enough of Your grace to triumph all the more! Finally, I thank You so much that I have eternal life through Jesus my Lord and Messiah. I am so blessed every moment of the day by Your sin-conquering grace!
In Jesus' Name
Amen.
