SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Romans 3:1-8

¹ So, do Jews have anything that other people do not have? Is there anything special about being circumcised?² Yes, of course, there is in every way. The most important thing is this: God trusted the Jews with his teachings.³ If some Jews were not faithful to him, will that stop God from doing what he promised? ⁴ No! God will continue to be true even when every person is false. As the Scriptures say:
"So you will be shown to be right when you speak,
And you will win your case." — Psalm 51:4

⁵ When we do wrong, that shows more clearly that God is right. So can we say that God is wrong to punish us? (I am talking as people might talk.)⁶ No! If God could not punish us, he could not judge the world.

⁷ A person might say, "When I lie, it really gives him glory, because my lie shows God's truth. So why am I judged a sinner?"⁸ It would be the same to say, "We should do evil so that good will come." Some people find fault with us and say we teach this, but they are wrong and deserve the punishment they will receive.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we cannot remain neutral but must stand for that which is good or we will fall for that which is evil. Help us, as believers, to cling to that which is good even when it comes at great sacrifice. With the aid of Your Holy Spirit, we will be keenly discerning of the spirits of this age. We look to You alone, for “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

WISHING YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
