Today's Verse: Romans 5:6-7

Monday, January 20, 2025

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
— Romans 5:6-7

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Christ died for the ungodly — for me, for you, for those you love, and even for those who do not love you. Without Jesus' sacrificial death and God's amazing grace, we could never save or make ourselves fully righteous. Jesus did for us what we could not do: he paid off our sin debts, which we could never pay. He did it for us, not because we were good enough to be worthy of his death, but because we couldn't be worthy without him.

My Prayer...

Loving God, we thank you. Sacrificial Savior, we praise you. Holy Spirit, we live through your power. Words cannot express our thanks for the gift of your grace that cost you so much yet means so much to us. All honor, glory, and praise to our Father who sits on the throne, our Lord Jesus who went to the cross, and the Holy Spirit who empowers us to live transformed lives. We pray this on the authority of Christ Jesus, whose grace makes us worthy to come into your presence, dear Father, through the intercession of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
