Romans 5:18 - One righteous act

Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.
Sometimes we do not think our actions have much effect, but in the passage above two acts made a world of difference for man kind, The first sin of man brought sin into this world and Christ being crucified brought salvation. Our actions may not produce world altering results, but our actions do matter and may have a much larger result than we could ever imagine, for good or bad,

Lord, thank you for sending Christ to perform his most important righteous act. Please use us and make our every action be multiplied for good. Amen.

Romans 3:24 - Justified freely

And all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

In this passage, justification is freely given to the Jews and everyone else. There is no special pedigree or life circumstance to be justified by God. Non-Christians may fell like outsiders, like there is no place for them in the church, but there is. God and his church welcome all. Redemption is a gift, we just have to accept it. Will our lives change? Yes, because of our thankfulness, we want to become more and more like Christ every day.

Lord, thank you than we can be justified freely. Please help anyone thinking about accepting your gift to grab hold of it. Amen.
