Advent ~ A Photo Diary ~ Day 6


In the past you were slaves to sin, and goodness did not control you. You did evil things, and now you are ashamed of them. Those things only bring death. But now you are free from sin and have become slaves of God. This brings you a life that is only for God, and this gives you life forever. The payment for sin is death. But God gives us the free gift of life forever in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:20-23


In the past you were spiritually dead because of your sins and the things you did against God. Yes, in the past you lived the way the world lives, following the ruler of the evil powers that are above the earth. That same spirit is now working in those who refuse to obey God. In the past all of us lived like them, trying to please our sinful selves and doing all the things our bodies and minds wanted. We should have suffered God's anger because we were sinful by nature. We were the same as all other people. But God's mercy is great, and he loved us very much. Though we were spiritually dead because of the things we did against God, he gave us new life with Christ. You have been saved by God's grace. Ephesians 2:1-5

Thank you for the beautiful pic's with the Word...to remember and keep holy this time of year. Love seeing all the sights of your home and little ones and if I were there, I'd put a child-snotty nose and all-on my hip and help you. Thanks for spreading light and cheer in our world.
Blessings and hugs, Noreen
