Romans 8:3-4 New International Version (NIV)
3 For what the law was powerless to do because it
was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the
flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be
fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the
Spirit.
Jesus did what we could not do; he lived perfectly before
God. He showed that sin isn't a necessity in our lives and that it does not
have to hold us captive. He poured out his Spirit on us so that we could not
only share in his forgiveness and cleansing grace, but also so that we could
have power to live in a way that pleases God. Jesus is our sin offering and our
Savior.
Thought for today:
Can I recognize sin and if so am I mindful of the ultimate sacrifice?
