Romans 5 & 6; 2 Corinthians 5; Romans 8

I rejoice in you, Father, through my Lord Jesus Christ, through whom I have received reconciliation to you, Father. Glory and thank you for your mercies.

Sin entered the world through one man, but by your grace, the free gift of life and salvation through Jesus Christ abounded to many and resulted in justification.

Through Jesus’s righteous act, the free gift of salvation came to me resulting in justification of my life. With joy and humility, I receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, and I reign in life through the one Messiah, Jesus Christ.

This “reigning” means my old man is crucified with Christ, and I am no longer a slave to sin. I am in Christ now and freed from the shame of my past for I am a new creature, and the old is gone, and behold everything is new for me.

There is, therefore, now no condemnation for me for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.
