07/02 Romans 3:20-24
20 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. 21 But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. 22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. 23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24 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.
FORGIVEN
We recognize our sinfulness. We proclaim our allegiance to Jesus. He forgives our sin. His forgiveness cleanses us and brings us into the family of God. We belong to Him forever. Jesus is now always in our life, always present always seeking our freedom from our self the sinner.
