Pensamento:
Se recebermos o que merecemos, nao vamos gostar do nosso salário. Por outro lado, Deus, que é rico em misericórdia e graça, nos dá seu presente por causa do sacrificio de Jesus, e não o que merecemos. Nao sei sobre você, mas eu quero servi-lo com mais paixão e fidelidade.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
If we get paid what we deserve as flawed and sinful humans, we're not going to like our wages when we stand before God, trying to plead our case. On the other hand, God, who is rich in mercy and grace, gives us his gift of salvation because of the sacrifice of Jesus and our faith in him. We won't get what we deserve or receive the cruel wages of sin if Christ is our Lord and Savior. He died to pay that debt, that wage of sin and death. Instead, we will receive the gift of eternal life in the glorious presence of God and his holy angels. I don't know about you, but that makes me want to serve him more passionately and faithfully!
Oração:
Glorioso e gracioso Pai, santo e perfeito de toda maneira, obrigado por fechar o grande abismo entre sua justica e minha imperfeição através da sua graca sacrificial. Obrigado pelo presente da vida eterna. Que minha vida mortal seja santa e agradável ao Senhor. No nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém. || Veja a imagem especial: http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_romanos6_23a.html
My Prayer...
Glorious and gracious Father, holy and perfect in every way, thank you for your sacrificial grace, which bridges the great gulf between your perfect righteousness and my imperfection and sinfulness. Thank you for the gift of eternal life. May my mortal life be holy and pleasing to you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
