The 5/11 verse for today is Romans 5:11, "So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God--all because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us in making us friends of God." (NLT)
Where would we be without Jesus? All of us are born into a broken world where we are separated from a Holy God. Prior to God's plan of salvation and redemption for us, through the death and blood of Jesus, we were doomed to eternal damnation in hell, apart from God. But God gave us one way out of hell. The only way we can be in right relationship with God is by accepting Jesus, the sacrifice that bridged our separation from God. I don't think we can ever truly grasp the depth of that sacrifice; the depth of that kind of love.
For Christ followers, our outlook is suddenly bright. Hell is no longer our penalty for sins and we are declared "Not Guilty Anymore!" I rejoice in that kind of relationship with God. I would be remiss if I didn't say, "Thank You Jesus!"
