Sunday's Living Water

As you read and reflect, pause for a moment to comprehend the peace we have with God through Jesus! Through Jesus we have gained access to grace! We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God! Yes, take in these truths given to us to understand and when we face trials remember them and the promise, "that hope does not disappoint"!


Scripture-

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Romans 5: 1-5
