Daily Prayer for March 15th, 2020
Good Sunday morning, God—thank you!! 🙂
The penalty for sin is death, but your gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus, the substitutionary atonement. No one is righteous. Therefore you made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him, we might become the righteousness of You. He was crucified on the cross and died in our place to satisfy the payment. Trying to save ourselves only negates what truly happened. To be saved, we must trust in what Christ did at Calvary. Hallelujah!! Amen.
Romans 3:9-18 English Standard Version (ESV)
No One Is Righteous
9 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, 10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
13 “Their throat is an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Romans 5:18 English Standard Version (ESV)
18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.
Colossians 2:9 English Standard Version (ESV)
9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
2 Corinthians 5:21 English Standard Version (ESV)
21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Matthew 1:23 English Standard Version (ESV)
23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us).
