4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5 thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: (Ex. 34.17; Lev. 19.4; 26.1; Deut. 4.15-18; 27.15) for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6 and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (Ex. 34.6,7; Num. 14.18; Deut. 7.9,10)

Lord I Want To Be A Christian

grace did much more abound

Romans 5.20,21

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. 2 Corinthians 9.15

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6.23

we have eternal life

We have eternal life through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord

Free Gift, Reconciliation, Justification, Atonement, Righteousness

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. 2 Corinthians 9.15

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6.23

(Romans 5.1-21)

1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

4 and patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5 and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous person will one die: yet peradventure for a good person some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Adam and Christ

12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; (Gen. 2.17; 3.6) and so death passed upon all, for that all have sinned:

13 (for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

15 But not as the offense, so also is the free gift: for if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification.

17 For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

18 Therefore, as by the offense of one judgment came upon all to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon ALL unto justification of life.

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
