daily reading 10.5 (Romans 6:8–10)

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


Our opening prayer for this week:

Drawn to the Cross, which you have blessed
With healing gifts for souls distressed,
To find in you my life, my rest,
Christ Crucified, I come.

How well you know my griefs and fears,
Your grace abused, my misspent years;
Yet now to you with contrite tears,
Christ Crucified, I come.

Wash me and take away each stain;
Let nothing of my sin remain.
For cleansing, through your cross and pain,
Christ Crucified, I come.

To pledge my labor willingly
Which shall so sweet a service be
That angels well might envy me,
Christ Crucified, I come. Amen.

 

Romans 6:8–10

  • Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him, 9 because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will not die again. Death no longer rules over him.
  • 10 For the death he died, he died to sin once for all time; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024 Our opening prayer for this week:      The advent of our King      Our prayers must now employ,      And we must hymns of welcome sing      In strains of holy joy.      The everlasting Son      Incarnate deigns to be;      Himself a servant’s form puts on      To set His servants free.      O Zion’s Daughter, rise      To meet your lowly King,      Nor let thy faithless heart despise      The peace He comes to bring.      As Judge, on clouds of light,      He soon will come again      And His true members all unite      With Him in heaven to reign.      Before the dawning day      Let sin’s dark deeds be gone,      The sinful self be ...

5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024 Our opening prayer for this week: Christ be my leader by night as by day, Safe through the darkness, for he is the way. Gladly I follow, my future his care; Darkness is daylight when Jesus is there. Christ be my teacher in age as in youth, Drifting or doubting, for he is the truth. Grant me to trust him, though shifting as sand. Doubt cannot daunt me— in Jesus I stand! Christ be my Savior in calm as in strife; Death cannot hold me for he is the life. Nor darkness nor doubting nor sin and its stain Can touch my salvation— with Jesus I reign!  Amen. Romans 2:28 –29 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh. 29  On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart—by the Spirit, not the letter. That person's praise is not from people but from God. Helpful notes on Romans 2:28–29   For yourself pray:...
