Daily Prayer for August 14th, 2018
Good morning, God—thank You! 🙂
My faith is in Christ Jesus that I may be justified by faith in Him, and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. I would never negate what took place on the cross of Calvary, “for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing”. I died to the law so that I might live for You. Keeping the faith in Jesus! Amen.
