Daily Reading: <\/strong>1 Chronicles 26:12-27:34 ESV<\/a>, Romans 4:13-5:5 ESV<\/a>, Psalm 14:1-7 ESV<\/a>, Proverbs 19:17 ESV<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Verse:<\/strong> \u201cFor the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression<\/em>.\u201d (Romans 4:15 ESV<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PARABIS (3847): <\/strong>\u201cParabasis is the act of excessive and enormous transgression of a stated law or a given commandment.\u00a0 This word means primarily \u201ca going aside,\u201d then \u201can overstepping,\u201d is used metaphorically to denote \u201ctransgression\u201d (always a breach of law).\u00a0 Negatively, where there is no law since \u201ctransgression\u201d implies the violation of laws, none having been enacted between Adam\u2019s \u201ctransgression\u201d and those under the Law, Rom. 4:15.\u201d [i]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going aside.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul explains the necessity of faith. Using Abraham as an example, Paul describes how our forefather\u2019s beliefs helped him persevere. At 100 years old, married to a barren woman, Abraham\u2019s faith never weakened when God promised to make him the father of many nations. Abraham didn\u2019t live to see it all, but he did see the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Isaac came into the world, he fulfilled God\u2019s promise to Abraham. As a result, God declared the patriarch righteous because of his faith. Abraham strayed in his walk, going aside from what God wanted, but justified by his faith, he gained God\u2019s peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No transgression<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we have Jesus to save us from our transgressions. When we go sideways, Christ draws us back to Him.  Consequences exist for our misdeeds, but we needn\u2019t fear God. When God looks at us, He sees Jesus, who makes us righteous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living for Christ means striving to imitate what He did. Jesus lived a sinless life. Once we become aware of our imperfections, convicted by the Holy Spirit, we should do our best not to do it again. We will falter; everyone does. But the joy of the Lord comes through His fresh mercy each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.\u201d (Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a day goes by we don\u2019t commit some type of transgression. A white lie here, an overindulgence there, everyone struggles with their sinful nature. But each morning when we rise, we can confess our misdeeds to the Savior and try again. Sincere apologies go a long way to living at peace with those around you. God forgives you the minute you confess your sin; hopefully, with time, others will too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
