Romans 5:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” You and I deserve nothing or should I write– you and I deserve the worst life possible and an eternity in Hell. That makes us realize our self worth without our beloved Savior. BUT, we have a Savior. He makes our worth tremendous. He freely gifts us a wonderful feeling of self worth–a gift of a joyful life as faith filled Children of His and a life eternal with Him in the glories of Heaven. There is no greater love. We can say and live nothing other than—THANK YOU, JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!!

Romans 6:17 “But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.” Thank God you are who you are. Your loyalty is to Him. You live with a heart of thankfulness and obedience. You have a close and binding relationship with your Heavenly Father. Heaven is your Home and your future looks magnificient. Would you consider yourself blessed?

Romans 6:14 “For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.” You and I live with a relationship with our God which is humanly indescribable. You and I should have no fear of death because Heaven is our home while this earthly life is very temporary. You and I live under the joy of grace—never let that joy be diminished by having too much attachment to this world’s pleasures.

Romans 6:6 “For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with.” Having faith and living in our faith puts us into a special relationship with our Heavenly Father. In that relationship we have become heirs to eternal life. You and I can enjoy our inheritance while living with faith on this earth realizing Heaven is really our home where we will totally receive the massive benefits paid for by our Savior.

Romans 5:19 “For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many were made righteous.” Adam brought extreme tragedy to the world. Nothing could be worse. Because of Adam we all suffer and die. Terrible!!Jesus brings fantastic blessing to you and me. Nothing could be better. Because of Jesus we all have joy and live forever. Wonderful!!That is a summary of Christianity.

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Usually we love those who show a love for us. We find it irrational to love those who hurt us, misunderstand us, don’t listen to us, do anything which seems to enjoy making our lives difficult. God is far different. He loves you and me because He created us and wants us to be His. There is not much about any of us which makes us desireable. Yet, God, in His perfect love makes us His own. There is no greater love!! Thank Him!
