Answer:

This comes from Romans:

__:__God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

*I remember when I was in college once being in an anthropology class and the professor of that class making a remark that went something like this: the world is so big and humans are so insignificant, that we were going to have to save ourselves from ourselves; because nobody was going to do the job for us. I considered most things in that class to be coming from an unreliable and twisted source anyway and so I knew that statement was not right in a lot of ways. As I thought about what she said, it is true that the world is big and as a matter of fact the universe is big; but she was wrong about humans being “insignificant” and that “we can save ourselves”. She did not understand the “sin problem” and probably did not really want to admit the “sin problem” that humans have is bigger than anything we can solve for ourselves. In God's sight people are important and so important as a matter of fact He sent His only begotten Son to save mankind from his sins. He shed His own blood on that Cross for us to redeem us from sin's grip because we could not pay the debt off; and He raised from the dead on that 3rd day for our justification! It is a free gift and has nothing to do with mankind saving himself from himself, but it does require a person to see the need they are in before they accept Jesus as Savior. The sayings of man cannot be trusted and oftentimes are lies, but God's Word on the other hand is true and right.

Weekly Scripture 4-13-2025

Answer: Galatians 3:13

This comes from Galatians

__:__Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

*Jesus died so each one of us could have life. He died in our place. Don't ever let that become something that is just routine for you. Never minimize the kind of horrid death that He died as He took our place on the cross and bore our sins. This verse makes it clear that He was cursed in our place. The full fury of God's wrath was poured out on Jesus, and for the very first time and only time the perfect fellowship between the Father and the Son was torn apart. This is the kind of King that God promised, a King that would take the punishment that we deserve so we could enjoy a life that we do not deserve. A King that would lay down His own life so that we could be rescued and redeemed from sin. He has victory through death and crushed death by rising from the grave; the grave could not contain Him!
