May 25 – The Gift You Could Never Earn

In today’s episode, Pastor Jenny Dirmann shares a devotion from Romans 6, focusing on Paul’s powerful reminder that “the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” This message highlights the contrast between what is earned through sin and what is freely given through Jesus. While every other system of belief centers around striving, performance, or earning acceptance, the gospel declares that eternal life is a gift received through surrender and faith in Christ. Pastor Jenny also reflects on the freedom believers now have through Jesus—not freedom to continue in sin, but freedom from sin’s control and dominion. Because of Christ’s death and resurrection, believers are no longer slaves to sin but are now empowered to live lives of righteousness, holiness, and dependence upon God. As we daily choose to follow Him, we walk in the new life Jesus has already made available to us.Today’s Reading:May 25 – Isaiah 45–48; Romans 6
