ROMANS
Chapters 5
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
I love the progression of the book of Romans
Chapter 1 is tough truth
Chapter 2 we all are guilty; no one is worthy
Chapter 3 there is hope
Chapter 4 we discover justification
Chapter 5 is the good news we have peace with God.

Something Great to remember today.......
PSALMS 1
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he mediates day and night. He is like a tree planted by the streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

READING THE BIBLE IS BENEFICIAL
- I really enjoy the bible readings. If you have it all together and you are faithful and steady. I am sure God is super pleased with you. But if you are a person in between and trying to get steady; you can read the bible while you allow God to clean your heart, your life, or whatever. If you need to be wash its okay while God wash just read and enjoy the bible. We know from reading these passages God wants us to learn that he has a plan of love and peace for mankind. You do not need to be a bible scholar or have certificates but you just need to be a believer. I am going to continue to read and enjoy my bible this year. I allowed the devil to trick me out my bible readings last year. I call myself strong but I was really weak. Somehow someway I had stopped reading. Not this year. The devil comes to block fellowship with God. We know from the word of God the devil accuses us day and night and the scriptures tells us, that we will never be good enough. I read to live. It is my daily bread. It helps me to know God loves me. I am going to be okay. The devil spends all his time sending the message of how bad we are. But God is telling us you are good enough for me? So when the devil says things like you are not clean yet, 99% wont do, you are not worthy to read the bible. You cant go to church. He is a liar. Keep reading. Keep looking for a good church. Not all these churches are bad. You will know when you get home. Your church will make you feel like you are at home. That will be the one you belong to. The bible says it is the goodness of God that brings us to repentance. If your life is not where it should be just hang on in. We don't get into mess over night and you wont get out of it over night. Just stay close to God; and I will too. I cant speak for you but it has been a blessing reading but that old devil showed up immediately. I have had some car repairs and strange odd things show up since I started this bible study. At first I wanted to put things on hold; I thought I have too much to do but I am going to keep going because that is not God breaking things and accusing us. It is the devil. If you mediate in his law the bible says we will grow. When the devil says you still smell like sin, just confess I am being washed everyday I read the word. Like a tree I don't see it but I am growing. Peace, Love, Joy, Happiness, and Great friendships to you. God knew you before you knew you. How awesome is that.
