PASSAGE

1 John 1:8 - 2:2
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

2 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

You make it easy to love You
You are good and You are kind
You bring joy into my life

You have never left my side
You’ve been faithful ev’ry time

All I want is You Jesus
All I want is You

Nothing to fear
for You are by my side
I’ll follow You anywhere

Verse 2
O Jesus You came to my rescue
Took my place upon that cross
You redeemed what I had lost
Now my whole world
revolving around You
You’re the center of my life
You’re the treasure
You’re the prize

Wherever You lead me
Whatever it costs me
All I want is You
Jesus all I want is You

Jesus Paid It All

Verse 1
And I hear the Savior say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness watch and pray
Find in Me thine all in all

Chorus
‘Cause Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Verse 2
Lord now indeed I find
Thy pow’r and Thine alone
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone

Verse 3
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat

PRAYER

Romans 3:21-26

21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
