This morning I was reading in Romans and found encouragement in some well loved verses. I thought I'd share them with you.

"For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by His blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over former sins. It was to show His righteousness at the present time, so that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." Romans 3:22b-26

I love these verses! God put forward His Son, Jesus, as a propitiation for my sins so that God's righteousness would be revealed! What an amazing God we serve! Also, I really like the terms "divine forbearance"... it reveals the patience of God as He passes over my sins due to the shed blood of His Son. How beautiful our God is!!!
