Romans 5:9

Scripture: 

Romans 5:9  “Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.” (NASB) 

Observation:

It’s something we don’t like to talk about, but in God’s Word (especially the Old Testament) we see God’s wrath. It was and is a terrible thing, but the act of one man changed the world and eternity forever. His precious blood was poured out for ALL. His willingness, despite the pain and suffering, to give up His life for us was the greatest act of love.

Have we ever spent some time at the foot of that cross realizing that the debt of our sin was paid in full? Now, we have a decision to make—do we accept Him in full or do we make some excuse and choose to walk away from that act of love? Because there was a Resurrection Day three days after the cross, we can be saved from the wrath of God through Jesus Christ.

Application:

1) Think about what you just read.

2) Ask the Holy Spirit for clarity and insight.

3) Share this with someone who would benefit from reading it.

4) Make sure others see Jesus in YOU today.
