Our Scripture reading today is Romans 5:9, "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, 
we shall be saved from wrath through him."
 
As sinners, we deserve to experience the wrath of God. As sinners, we deserve to be 
in the Lake of Fire for all of eternity. God is holy and we are anything but holy. It is
vital that we recognize our sinful state and what was placed on Jesus Christ as He
hung on the old rugged cross. Romans 1:18, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in 
unrighteousness;" We are the ungodly and unrighteous. Jesus Christ took the wrath of
God on Him while he was on the cross. Our sins were placed on the Lamb of God. 
His blood was shed as a sacrifice for our sin. His blood saved us from the wrath of
God.
 
Please take a moment and re-read the verses and the application above. Thank God
for His love in sending Jesus Christ to be your sacrifice. We are blessed to be in the
family of God. Today is a good day to tell someone about Jesus Christ. Today is a 
good day to gather together with God's family.
