No Sin?

“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned – for until the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law.” Romans 5:12

“And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, ‘From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.’” Genesis 2:16-17

Some seek a world with no laws, even if they have to force their way on others. Some wish a world in a straight jacket of laws governing every possible contingency. Yet it is clear that people sin with or without even one written law. God’s Word is there to show us the purpose of the “don’ts” of life and the solution that is provided. You see, God risked everything when He offered His creation the privilege of following Him or not and when He saw we could not, He even gave His own Son to ensure a way.

“’For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: New: Billy and Michelle for RECOVERY. Ongoing Requests: Bill - unspoken request; Australians and support workers still dealing with the aftermath from natural disasters (fire and floods). God’s hands on the USA. Barb to find the new job God has for her; wisdom for doctors caring for Doris, Denny, Gary, Michael, David & Adrian. Randy’s family moving to Canada and his ministry. New work projects for me. Amazing ways God is using the WeakDay Devotions lately!
