Romans 5:19, NIV
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19, NIV We are made sinners because of Adam’s disobedience. He chose to follow his own will. Because of this one man, sin is now flowing through our blood. This is the reason why nobody is perfect. No matter how much we try to do good things, we still can’t help but embrace our identity as a sinner. Because of this, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ. And through His obedience, we are made righteous. It’s His blood…

Romans 2:5, NIV
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. Romans 2: 5, NIV One day, God will execute His righteous judgment. Yes, He is a good God, and He desires all of us to be saved, but He is also a Holy God.

Acts 3: 14-15, NIV
You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. Acts 3: 14-15, NIV Jesus was disowned and killed. He suffered and died in front of the Israelites. People chose to save the murderer instead of choosing the holy and righteous One. He experienced injustice. That’s why don’t act as if Jesus can’t relate to what you feel, because people also accused Him before. He received a series of rejections and painful comments. So when you experience injustice in your life, remember what Jesus went through.…
