1. My quiet time reading in God’s Word today, Exodus, chapters 20-23, which include, the Ten Commandments, drive me to seek help from the God definitively revealed to all in Jesus. As a sinful person, I see I’m incapable of keeping God’s Law...

2. ..., summarized by Jesus as “love God, love neighbor.”
But Jesus has perfectly kept God’s Law, then offered Himself as the perfectly sinless Lamb of God Who takes away the power of sin and death over our lives. ...

3. ...All who repent and believe in Jesus are reconciled to God and are given life with God in His everlasting Kingdom. By God-given faith in Jesus, we are rescued from the power of sin and death over us and belong to God eternally. ...

4. As Romans 3 says:
“Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; ...

5. ...rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.” (Romans 3:19-21) ...

6. ...Jesus has done everything necessary to free you and me from sin and death, from condemnation for our failure to keep God’s Law, and to give us endless life with God. ...

7. ...Our call is to turn to Jesus with honesty about ourselves and trust or faith in Him, however big or small our faith in Jesus may be. God doesn’t welcome us into life with Him based on the size of our faith, but on the basis of what Jesus has already done for us ...

8. ... in His death and resurrection. Thank God for making us His own in Jesus Christ!
