MY WORD
Romans 8:1–9 (The Living Bible) 1 So
there is now no condemnation awaiting those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2
For the power of the life-giving Spirit—and this power is mine through Christ
Jesus—has freed me from the vicious circle of sin and death. 3 We aren’t saved from sin’s grasp by knowing
the commandments of God because we can’t and don’t keep them, but God put into
effect a different plan to save us. He sent his own Son in a human body like
ours—except that ours are sinful—and destroyed sin’s control over us by giving
himself as a sacrifice for our sins. 4 So now we can obey God’s laws
if we follow after the Holy Spirit and no longer obey the old evil nature
within us. 5 Those who let themselves be controlled by their
lower natures live only to please themselves, but those who follow after the
Holy Spirit find themselves doing those things that please God. 6 Following
after the Holy Spirit leads to life and peace, but following after the old
nature leads to death 7 because the old sinful nature within us is
against God. It never did obey God’s laws and it never will. 8 That’s
why those who are still under the control of their old sinful selves, bent on
following their old evil desires, can never please God. 9 But you
are not like that. You are controlled by your new nature if you have the Spirit
of God living in you. (And remember that if anyone doesn’t have the Spirit of
Christ living in him, he is not a Christian at all.)
1 Corinthians 1:26–31 (The Living Bible) 26 Notice among yourselves, dear brothers, that few of you who follow
Christ have big names or power or wealth. 27
Instead, God has deliberately chosen to use ideas the world considers foolish
and of little worth in order to shame those people considered by the world as
wise and great. 28 He has chosen a plan despised by the world,
counted as nothing at all, and used it to bring down to nothing those the world
considers great, 29 so that no one anywhere can ever brag in the
presence of God. 30 For it is
from God alone that you have your life through Christ Jesus. He showed us God’s
plan of salvation; he was the one who made us acceptable to God; he made us
pure and holy and gave himself to purchase our salvation. 31 As
it says in the Scriptures, “If anyone is going to boast, let him boast only of
what the Lord has done.”
2 Corinthians 5:17–21 (CJB) 17 Therefore, if anyone is
united with the Messiah, he is a new creation—the old has passed; look, what
has come is fresh and new! 18 And it is all from God, who
through the Messiah has reconciled us to himself and has given us the work of
that reconciliation, 19 which is that God in the Messiah was
reconciling mankind to himself, not counting their sins against them, and
entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore we are
ambassadors of the Messiah; in effect, God is making his appeal through us.
What we do is appeal on behalf of the Messiah, “Be reconciled to God! 21
God made this sinless man be a sin
offering on our behalf, so that in union with him we might fully share in
God’s righteousness.”
Ephesians 1:3–14 (ESV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should
be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for
adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6
to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the
Beloved. 7 In him we have
redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to
the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom
and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according
to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the
fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on
earth. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been
predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to
the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in
Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised
Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we
acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Romans 3:19–26 (The Living Bible) 19 So
the judgment of God lies very heavily upon the Jews, for they are responsible
to keep God’s laws instead of doing all these evil things; not one of them has
any excuse; in fact, all the world stands hushed and guilty before Almighty
God. 20 Now do you see it? No
one can ever be made right in God’s sight by doing what the law commands.
For the more we know of God’s laws, the clearer it becomes that we aren’t
obeying them; his laws serve only to make us see that we are sinners. 21
But now God has shown us a different way
to heaven—not by “being good enough” and trying to keep his laws, but by a new
way (though not new, really, for the Scriptures told about it long ago). Now
God says he will accept and acquit us—declare us “not guilty”—if we trust Jesus
Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, by
coming to Christ, no matter who we are or what we have been like. 23
Yes, all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious ideal; 24 yet
now God declares us “not guilty” of offending him if we trust in Jesus Christ,
who in his kindness freely takes away our sins. 25 For God sent
Christ Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to end all God’s anger
against us. He used Christ’s blood and
our faith as the means of saving us from his wrath. In this way he was
being entirely fair, even though he did not punish those who sinned in former
times. For he was looking forward to the time when Christ would come and take
away those sins. 26 And now in these days also he can receive
sinners in this same way because Jesus took away their sins. But isn’t this
unfair for God to let criminals go free, and say that they are innocent? No,
for he does it on the basis of their trust in Jesus who took away their sins.
[Please Note: Always Read the Word of God in Context asking
the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
