daily reading 6.2 (Romans 3:25)

5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024


Our opening prayer for this week:

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of your holy word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfil in us
All Your purposes, for Your glory.

Teach us Lord full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility.
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise
Cause our eyes to see,
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of power that can never fail;
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us.
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time,
That will echo down through eternity.
And by grace we’ll stand on Your promises;
And by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us.
Speak, O Lord, ’til your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory. Amen.


Romans 3:25

  • God presented him as an atoning sacrifice in his blood, received through faith.

5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024 Our opening prayer for this week:      Lo! He comes with clouds descending,      Once for every sinner slain;      Thousand, thousand saints attending      Swell the triumph of his train:      Hallelujah! Hallelujah!      God appears on earth to reign.      Every eye shall now behold him      Robed in dreadful majesty;      Those who ridiculed and sold him,      Pierced and nailed him to the tree,      Deeply wailing, deeply wailing,      Shall the true Messiah see.      Every island, sea, and mountain,      Heav’n and earth, shall flee away;      All who hate him must, confounded,      Hear the trumpet sound the day:      Come to judgment! Come to judgment! ...
