They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I have hope in Him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Christians were crucified alongside Jesus Christ years ago
1 John 3:16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. I remember years ago after I first heard the gospel. I was listening to a sermon on Luke 9:23-24 when Jesus was telling his listeners how to become
Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, What are you believing as true of you today?

Isaiah 53:4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. This text teaches two things: That Jesus bore the weight of, and carried away our grief, sickness, pain, and sins That we considered God the responsible party for the afflictions of Jesus; (i.e.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. We all have some sort of disgust over sin. It will vary of course by any number of things within our individual lives. Most of us won’t be
1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. The word “ransom” reminds me of any number of old hostage movies. A bad guy takes a
