Romans 4&5; Colossians 1; Romans 5

Lord Jesus, I know that you were delivered up for my offenses, and you were raised for my justification. Therefore, having been justified by your life and obedience, Lord Jesus, I have peace with God, our father.

Now, by faith, I stand, day by day, moment by moment, in the grace of my Almighty, sovereign, God of heaven and earth. I rejoice in the hope of the glory of Christ now dwelling in me, by the Holy Spirit.

With faith, and hope, I look for your person and communion, Lord Jesus, in all the tribulation of this life, because I know that with you as my Lord, tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance, character, and character, hope.

This hope grows and shines within me because the love of God is poured out in my heart by the Holy Spirit, who has filled and birthed me again from above.
