Righteousness as a Gift
Paul describes here how the gospel transforms your thinking and actions.
Scripture: Romans 5:17
For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life...
Thought: A ruler has died. Death had established its reign over humanity. Original: צְדָקָה
