Saturday's Living Water

Scripture

For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
Romans 5:6-9



Porque mientras aún éramos débiles, a su tiempo Cristo murió por los impíos.

Porque a duras penas habrá alguien que muera por un justo, aunque tal vez alguno se atreva a morir por el bueno.

Pero Dios demuestra su amor para con nosotros, en que siendo aún pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros.

Entonces mucho más, habiendo sido ahora justificados por su sangre, seremos salvos de la ira de Dios por medio de El.
Romanos 5:6-9

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

Thursday Living Water

Reading - Slowly read the Scripture passage several times


Scripture-

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:3-7 (NLT)
