All Are Justified Freely by His Grace

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. — Romans 3:23-24 

We have all sinned.

And everyone falls short of God's glory.

Redemption came to us by the death of Christ Jesus.

And we are justified freely.

By the grace of our Lord Jesus.

Lend Freely

Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. — Psalm 112:5 

God commands us to be generous to others.

To lend freely,

To conduct our affairs with justice.

And this comes with a promise - that good will come to those who do this.

But sorrow will also come our way.

This weekend Kirk had two friends who lost their elderly parents.

We both know how hard that can be.

Kirk took the opportunity to share some favorite Scriptures.

And he sent a link to The Chosen.

God will come to those who turn to Him.

All Have Sinned and Fall Short

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. — Romans 3:23-24 

God created us but in Adam we all sinned.

As a result, we've all missed the mark, and we all fall short of God's glory.

We are freely justified by His grace.

And Jesus Christ died to redeem us by His blood.

I am loved and redeemed!

Amazing grace.

Turn to the Lord

Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts, let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. — Isaiah 55:7

God calls us to turn to Him.

He will have mercy on us, when we turn our lives over to Him.

He freely pardons us.

Today Abby got her first covid-19 shot

She went up to UCSD and was in and out in 30 minutes!

Including 15 minutes to wait and be observed.

And they already scheduled her next vaccine for the end of the month.

The healthcare workers told her they had already seen about 5000 people that day at the RIMAC center alone. 

The best part was that it had rained here, and she saw a rainbow on her way home!

Since she works both at Millennial Tech Middle with students on Zoom and at City Tree Christian with students in person, it is a relief to know that she is inoculated.

We are grateful.
