Text for the Day -- Romans 1:16-17 ---------- For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, ‘The one who is righteous will live by faith.’
Devotional ---------- Martin Luther found a great illumination for his life in these verses, and for the church. The burden of legalism, moralism, and whatever kind of "ism" people try to use to establish a righteousness apart from the gift of Jesus Christ, is overcome in a clear understanding and experience of God's grace in Christ. God's grace makes you free, not your own efforts to justify your life before God and others.
Prayer ----------- May your Holy Spirit encourage my faith in your grace in Christ Jesus, gracious God. Amen
