Daily Bible Reading – April 2023 God’s Saving Word: HopeÖrnek
April 18
Introduction
Being put right with God opens the way for living the new life of faith. The apostle Paul teaches that God’s love for us is poured into our hearts by means of God’s gift, the Holy Spirit, and that God’s grace comes to us through Jesus Christ.
Scripture Reading
Romans 5:1-21
Today’s Key Verse: Romans 5:8
But God has shown us how much he loves us – it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!
Reflect
Reread verses 1-5. What does Paul teach about hope? In verses 12-19, what does he say about Adam and Christ? About sin and grace? According to Paul, what was the purpose of the Law (verse 20)?
Pray
Thank you, God, for making me your friend through the sacrificial death of your Son, Jesus. I now have peace and my heart is filled with hope because of being put right with you. Sin no longer has control of my life. Thank you, God, for your gift of grace and for loving me so. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Romans 6:1-14: The apostle Paul explains how baptism brings us new life.
