Today's Good News

JUNE 14 – FAITH

06/14. Romans 3:21
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.
FAITH
By faith we trust Jesus to save us. He brings us into a right relationship with the Father. It is not what can I do? We do not have a works relationship with the Lord.

 

JUNE 13 – SIN

06/13. Romans 3:20
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.
SIN
I proclaim my innocence and moan how badly the world treats me. Two things to note that the world will always treat us badly and we are always sinners. Only by e blood of Christ do we find absolution and forgiveness. Jesus brings us into a relationship to the Father. We bring nothing good to the relationship. Only because we have turned to Jesus do we find cleansing and He gives us His righteousness.

 

JUNE 12 – ALL

06/12 Romans 3:19
Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to
keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty
before God.
ALL
you, me, everyone that has ever been born, except Jesus is a sinner. Jesus saves us from this sin, gives us a relationship with the Father and He will never leave us. Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow.

JUNE 11 – ME

06/11 Romans 3:11-18
No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. 12 All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” 13 “Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with lies.” “Snake venom drips from their lips.” 14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.” 15 “ They rush to commit murder. 16 Destruction and misery always follow them. 17 They don’t know where to find peace.”18 “They have no fear of God at all.”
ME
The only good in me is Jesus Christ. His sacrifice saved me. He came that I might have life. He gives light to my daily walk. He is s Lord.

JUNE 10 – ONE

06/10          Romans 3:5-10 

“But,” some might say, “our sinfulness serves a good purpose, for it helps people see how righteous God is. Isn’t it unfair, then, for him to punish us?” (This is merely a human point of view.) 6 Of course not! If God were not entirely fair, how would he be qualified to judge the world? 

7 “But,” someone might still argue, “how can God condemn me as a sinner if my dishonesty highlights his truthfulness and brings him more glory?” 8 And some people even slander us by claiming that we say, “The more we sin, the better it is!” Those who say such things deserve to be condemned. 9 Well then, should we conclude that we Jews are better than others? No, not at all, for we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles, are under the power of sin.  10 As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous— not even one. 

ONE

The absolute number-NO ONE is righteous.  We are desperate for His presence, desperate for His wisdom, desperate to be in charge and yet we fail so sadly for no one is righteous.  Jesus gives us His righteousness.  Jesus saves us from eternal separation from the Father.  Jesus is Lord. 

JUNE 9 – TRUE

06/09          Romans 3:1-4 

Then what’s the advantage of being a Jew? Is there any value in the ceremony of circumcision? 2 Yes, there are great benefits! First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the whole revelation of God. 3True, some of them were unfaithful; but just because they were unfaithful, does that mean God will be unfaithful? 4 Of course not! Even if everyone else is a liar, God is true. As the Scriptures say about him, “You will be proved right in what you say, and you will win your case in court.” 

TRUE

God is true.  He is always true.  His Word will not cease for God Almighty is true.  Do not measure yourself by others.  Do not evauluate God based on what your eye sees our your mind thinks for God is eternal and He knows all things and He is always true. 

 

 

JUNE 8 – THANK YOU

06/08          Psalm 56:12-13 

I will fulfill my vows to you, O God, and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.  13 For you have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So now I can walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light.

THANK YOU

I want to thank you Lord.  So much to be thankful for it is hard to know where to start but I will start with salvation.  Thank you for my life with you.  Thank you for security.  Thank you that you are constantly pursuing me.  Thank you Lord.  Thank you.  

 

 

JUNE 7 – SAFE

06/07          Psalm 56:11
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? 

SAFE
The Lord is in charge.  I am safe in Him.  Jesus knows all about me and is able to keep me.  He will never lose me or leave me.  The Lord God almighty is in charge and I belong to Him.

JUNE 6 – PRAISE

06/06          Psalm 56:10

I praise God for what he has promised; yes, I praise the LORD for what he has promised. 

PRAISE

The Lord God is so wonderful.  He is so involved in our life, seeking our best good and He loves us.  He richly deserves our praise.  We praise Him with our voice, with our mind and with our hearts.  The Lord God almighty is worthy of every form of praise that we can offer up to Him.  Our obedience, our faithfulness, our service and our love all come together in praise to the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ as we spend time with them and seek to let them know our devotion and love.  Jesus is Lord and He is worthy of all our praise honor and glory.  Thank you Lord.  We praise you. 

 

 

JUNE 5 – SAVING

06/05          Psalm 56:9 

My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help. This I know: God is on my side! 

SAVING

Our God-the Lord- is a saving God.  He seeks our best good.  He knows what is best for us and will guide us in the way we should go if we will just listen to Him.  When we get on the wrong path He, the Lord, will bring us back to the right path.  He never lets us out of His sight.  He is always with us.  Jesus is Lord and He loves you.
