Wisdom - Epistles - New Testament
S - Scripture
Romans 3 v. 16 In their paths are ruin and misery.
O - Observation
The Power of sin. This verse is in the middle of a description of the Power of Sin and the results of it. Webster defines sin as "the breaking of the law of God." God developed these laws for our protection, not our punishment. But, when we sin, it results in ruin and misery. We can't help it we are born sinful. No one is perfect. Thus God sent his Son Jesus to save us from our inability to keep God's laws. In Matthew 5 v. 17 Jesus says, "Think not that I have to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come NOT to abolish them, but to Fulfill them." Jesus being perfect, fulfilled the Law of God on our behalf. This saves us from the eternal aspect of sin. God will punish all sinners, unless they call upon the name of Jesus. Knowing those facts does not change our approach to strive to follow God's words. It will bless your time on earth.
A - Application
How am I dealing with the sins in my life?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Thank you for fulfilling the laws since I can't. Help me to strive to follow your words. Love Will
