ROMANS 5:12,15,17-21 ©

My Soul's Beloved,

Adam sinned and as a consequence of that first sin, all his descendants inherited death. But God our Father created for life, and despite being beguiled by Satan He would give us the antitode to sin. The remedy to sin is far, far greater than the fall, deathly grievous though it was. Sin entered the world through the first man, Adam, and the divine remedy for sin would also come from another Man, the Son of Man and the Son of God.  

The power of the Cross is able to save all humanity from the first to the last, across the globe and across all times and ages. One man was responsible for the fall of the human race and one Man willingly pay the ultimate price for that fall that redeems us all. 

Anyone and everyone who desires Your saving life will receive it. It is freely given to all. It is free because we could not afford to pay the price for our salvation, it cost the life of the only Son of the Living God. Beloved, You exchanged Your life on the Cross for our death. You snatched us from the jaws of hell. We deserved hell and condemnation but the love of God perfected in You through suffering has saved us. The power of the Cross can wash away every sin no matter how grave or how many. A humble, contrite heart You will not spurn.

Your obedience to Your Father's will has saved us. We are redeemed by Your Blood. May we imitate You and yield our will to God in loving submission and we will know true joy in this life and eternal joy in the life to come.
