Contemplative Bible Reading

Romans 10:4 (New Living Translation)

4 For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.

We read here about how Christ accomplished the purpose of the law. And what was that purpose?

All who believe are made right with God.

This is one of those little sentences that are fit for a plaque on the wall or one of those tapestries or needlepoint things people used to do. I guess today it is a good “meme” for the Internet.

This is all quite simple. This is all so amazing it is difficult to understand. A poor carpenter’s son made be right with God. Well, that poor carpenter’s son was also the Son of God. That poor carpenter’s son lived a sinless life and suffered death anyway just for me.

Yes, this is all so amazing it is difficult to understand.
