Bible Reading
But now, completely apart from the law, a righteousness from God has been made known. The Law and the Prophets testify to it. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all and over all who believe. In fact, there is no difference, because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. (Romans 3:21-24 EHV)
Hymn ELH 226:1-2 By Grace I’m Saved
By grace I’m saved, grace free and boundless;
My soul, believe and doubt it not.
Why stagger at this word of promise?
Has Scripture ever falsehood taught?
Nay; then this word must true remain:
By grace thou, too, shalt heaven obtain.
By grace! None dare lay claim to merit;
Our works and conduct have no worth.
God in His love sent our Redeemer,
Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth;
His death did for our sins atone,
And we are saved by grace alone.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, in grace and mercy You sent Your only-begotten Son, Jesus, to be my Savior. By Your grace, through faith, you saved me from the punishment my sins deserve. Forgive my sins and strengthen my faith through Your Word.
