Today's Devotional: Reconciled To God

From CDM

 “For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life” (Romans 5:17, 18).

Humankind was separated from God because of Adam’s sin. When Jesus came, He restored everything that sin had thrown out of balance; we are now reconciled to God. We receive grace from Him and are made righteous in His sight when we believe in Jesus.
