Welcome to Elmhurst CRC's daily dose of the Word of God. It's Thursday, June 1, and Sunday's coming. This is Kara Hackert, and I'll be reading from the International Children's Bible, Romans 8, verses 1 through 4.

Kara Hackert  0:22 

Life in the spirit. So now, those who are in Christ Jesus are not judged guilty. I am not judged guilty because in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit that brings life made me free. It made me free from the law that brings sin and death. The law was without power, because the law was made weak by our sinful selves. But God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son to earth with the same human life that others use for sin. He sent his Son to be an offering to pay for sin. So God used a human life to destroy sin. He did this so that we could be right as the law said we must be. Now we do not live following our sinful selves, but we live following the Spirit.

Kara Hackert  1:11  

Please pray with me. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your son to Earth to save us. Thank you for freeing us. Please fill us with your spirit and help us to live this dglorifying You. Amen.
