In the beginning, God created Adam. Adam *sinned. God judged Adam’s *sin and punished Adam with death (Genesis Chapter s 2-3). All people die because of Adam’s *sin (Romans 5:12). But Jesus came to this world. God punished Jesus for people’s *sins. Every person’s physical body still dies. But God gives *eternal life to people who believe and trust Jesus (John 3:16). This good news is for everyone. God saves people from the result of *sin because of what Jesus has done.


v7
The time is near when all things will end. Have a clear mind. Keep yourself under control so that you can pray. v8 It is most important that you continue to love one another deeply. Love hides many *sins. v9 Be ready to welcome one another into your homes. Do not be unwilling to do this. v10 God has given each person a gift. Use this gift to serve other people. When you use God’s various gifts in this way, you will be like his good servants. v11 If you have a gift to speak, use it to *preach God’s message. If you have a gift to help other people, do it with the strength that God gives. Do everything in a way that brings honour to God through Jesus Christ. *Glory and power belong to him always. *Amen.
