• So I've been taking a walk down Romans and I can't help to stop and think that God is so just indescribable. I've been reading the beginning of Romans and about Romans 3 it really starts to get deep about how smart and how wonderful God's plans are. I mean I've been reading through it (chapter 5 is one of the coolest) and it just really talks about how God didn't give of the law so we could become self-righteous and raise ourselves above others but he gave us the law so we would know that we are sinners, and that were not perfect (even though we'd like to think we are.) It gets better though because since we know were sinners what hope do we have, well thats where the juiciness comes. You because we are sinners we are filled with death because sin is our downfall (see Romans 5: 12.) But because Christ came we have been shown the grace of God and it is just an astounding gift because we are all sinners and Jesus, who is the perfect son of God, came anhd bled and died for us. So to wrap up this is all so astronomical because what Romans 5: 20-21 says: "The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternallife through Jesus Christ our Lord."

  Now I knew all these basic concepts of our faith, but just reading it in the context in which Paul rights it, it truly shows me why we are priveleged to have God's amazing gift of grace through his extraordinary son Jesus Christ. So I thought I might share that and encourage ya'll to read Romans because as I read it, it changes my life!
