collections

Posted in Uncategorized tagged , at 9:30 pm by rachelelaine

I am not a collector. Mostly, this is because I don’t like junk or clutter, things that are useless, or things that aren’t beneficial.

I collect Polish dishes which are inherently useful (um, I eat on them every day) and meaningful.

But the other thing that I collect is infinitely useful and infinitely meaningful and infinitely beneficial.

I collect Bible verses that share the gospel in one verse.

My favorite is 2 Corinthians 5:21 “God made Him who knew no sin to become sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

1 John 4:10 “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

Romans 8:2 “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.”

Ephesians 2:5 “Even when we were dead in our tresspasses, God made us alive together with Christ – by grace you have been saved.”

From death to life. These were the first ones that came as I started writing this post. I come across more all the time, and want to be better about writing them down. Do you have any to add?

    Would you take two verses instead of one? :) Romans 10: 9 & 10. 9That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
