Bible Verses :-)

[Hope]

At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ
died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous
man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But
God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.
-- Romans 5:6-8

Thank you Jesus!

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we
might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you
have been healed.

Jesus has led me to Romans 8:1 -2, There is therefore now no condemnation which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. During my fourth step I was getting hammered for the many resentments and my part in them. Most uncomfortable of all was working my fifth step and admitting to God myself and another person the nature of these defects of character. It blew me away how great and free this made. jackf

I've been eating to much food over my keyboard, at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Please forgive me for submitting an incomplete verse I really believe in accuracy with scripture, it is corrected as follows;

Jesus has led me to Romans 8:1 -2, There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. During my fourth step I was getting hammered for my many resentments (9 pages) and my part in them. Most uncomfortable of all was working my fifth step and admitting to God myself and another person the nature of these defects of character. It blew me away how great and free this made me feel. I think on this experience often and thank God for his serenity. jackf
