romans 5-6

"Therefore, as the trespass of one led to condemnation for all men, so the act of righteousness of one leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

"Now the law came in to increase trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more...

"We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life..."

"But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed."


Oh Father may we humbly walk in your grace, knowing that only YOU have justified us. We plead the blood of Christ.
