Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: The Burden of Sin
TODAY’S SCRPTURE: Romans 5:12-21
The burdens we carry come in all shapes and sizes. Many are weighty, but there’s one load that proves even heavier—and it can be traced back to the garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:6), and all people have suffered the consequences. The Bible says that every one of us has gone astray, like a sheep wandering from his shepherd (Isaiah 53:6). So on our own, we are unable to fellowship with God.
But our Creator loved us so much that He sent His own Son to live a perfect life on earth. Jesus deserved all glory, honor, and praise, yet He healed us from sin by dying on the cross in our place. And then He conquered death itself by rising to life again.
The Savior longs for us to accept that He willingly gave Himself to redeem us and relieve the burden of sin in our heart. Only then will we experience true life and freedom.
Have you received God’s free gift of salvation? Jesus loves you so much that He gave His life in order to have a relationship with you. When you believe in Him and accept His death as your undeserved atonement for sin, He forgives you for all unrighteousness and welcomes you onto the path of true life.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Luke 10-11
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Jesus loves you so much that He gave His life to have a relationship with you.
