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. — Romans 5:5 KJV
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! — Romans 5:15 NIV
In response to such grace, we are compelled to live a life that reflects gratitude and obedience to God. We are called to extend this same grace and love to others recognizing that just as we have been forgiven, we are also called to forgive. This verse challenges us to embrace the power of God’s grace in our lives and to share it with others so that they too may experience the freedom and joy found in Christ.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, strengthen my faith and deepen my trust in you, knowing that your grace is sufficient for me in every circumstance.
I pray that I will be a constant reminder of your unending love and the hope I have in Christ. In times of joy and times of struggle, may I always turn to you, my refuge and my strength.
Thank you, Lord, for your grace that knows no bounds. May I live each day in the light of your love, sharing the message of salvation with others and glorifying your name in all that I do.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
