So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men. — Rom 5:18 BSB

All grace and goodness come to us through Jesus Christ. Through one man, sin entered the world, but through Christ, the victory of life was won. Now, through Him, all that is holy, true, and good flows to those who accept Him.

There is no other source of blessing. Without Christ, even the world’s greatest joys can’t bring lasting happiness. But with Christ, everything is made richer. The world becomes more beautiful. The common blessings of daily life come from His hand and are filled with new sweetness. Our daily bread becomes sacred as His gift to us. Every flower along the path reminds us of Him.

But the best gifts from Christ are the things of grace—the heavenly blessings that last forever. We need only to accept Christ and His redemption, and then all things will be ours in Him.
