Today's Verse - Romans 5:6-7 (KJV)

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.

—Romans 5:6-7 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Christ died for the ungodly. Christ died for me. Without his sacrificial death, without God's grace, I am powerless to save myself or make myself righteous. Jesus did for me what I could not do and paid off my debt to sin which I could not pay. He did it for me; not because I was good enough to be worthy of his death, but because I couldn't be worthy without him.

My Prayer...​

Loving God, thank you. Sacrificial Savior, I praise you. Words cannot express my thanks for the gift of your grace that cost so much and yet means so much to me. All honor, glory, and praise to my Father who sits on the throne and my Lord Jesus who went to the cross and in whose name I offer my thanks. Amen.

Thank you Jesus for dying for me on the cross. O sacred head now wounded.... with grief and shame weighed down. now scornfully surrounded with thorns thine only crown. O sacred head what glory, what bliss till now was Thine. Yet, through despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. My Lord and Savior has suffered so much on the cross. Dying for the ungodly was truly a gift coming from heaven.
