Our suggested Scripture reading for August 13, from the 2017 UCC
Church Calendar:
Romans 10:5-15 (NLT)
Faith in Jesus Brings Joy!
5
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly
God loves us because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts
with his love. 6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the
right time and died for us sinners. 7 Now, most people would not be
willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be
willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8 But God showed his
great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still
sinners. 9 And since we have been made right in Gods sight by the
blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from Gods condemnation.10 For
since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while
we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of
his Son. 11 So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with
God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adams sin brought death,
so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. 13 Yes, people sinned
even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because
there was not yet any law to break. 14 Still, everyone died from the
time of Adam to the time of Moses even those who did not disobey an
explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a
representation of Christ, who was yet to come.15 But there is a great
difference between Adams sin and Gods gracious gift. For the sin of
this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is Gods
wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other
man, Jesus Christ.
