As you begin this week, we ask that you think about the following scriptures and how they apply to your life and your growing relationship with the Lord.

“Everyone has sinned and fallen short of God’s glorious standard, and all need to be made right with God by his grace. which is a free gift. They need to be made free from sin through Jesus Christ” (Romans 3:23-34)

If anyone does sin, we have a helper in the presence of the Father – Jesus Christ, the One who does what is right. He died in our place to take away our sins, and not only our sins but the sins of all people” (1 John2:1-2)

“God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him. People who believe in God’s Son are not judged guilty…. Those who believe in the Son have eternal life, but those who do not obey the Son will never have life. God’s anger stays on them” (John 3:17-18, 36)
