Read Romans 3 A Problem and A Solution Rom 3:23-25 everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence. 24 But by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free. 25 God offered him, so that by his sacrificial death he should become the means by which people's sins are forgiven through their faith in him. WHAT’S THE WORLD need to know? Here it is: There’s a problem: everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence. There’s a solution to this problem: by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free. What does knowing the problem and the solution do for you today? I pray it gives you a sense of fear, knowing you are born far away from God’s presence. I pray it gives you comfort, hope and joy knowing offers his eternal solution. Sin makes us wrong before God.
