The purpose of the Law was to reveal unrighteousness and to bring a sinner to repentance before God, but the Word of God identifies two types of righteousness: one that stems from a works-based morality, which is achieved by rigorously keeping the Law, and one which is a faith-based righteousness, which comes from humbly trusting Jesus as Savior and depending on Him at all times and for all things. There are Christians today who desire to be righteous through their own merit. They expend much of their time and energy in producing a works-based righteousness, which relies on what they do for God, rather than for what He has done for us (through the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus on the Cross of Calvary). Let us not blindly cling to our own self-initiated righteousness in the expectation that God will accept us for our good works. God no longer deals with His people on behalf of the unachievable righteous requirements of the Mosaic Law, but Through The Cross Of Christ Who became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God - in Him. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You, for sending the Lord Jesus Christ to be the end of the Law to all who trust in Him as their Savior. We confess that of ourselves, we can do no good thing, but praise Your holy name that we can do all things through Christ, Who has become our righteousness. In His name we pray, AMEN. Too many Christians have not come into the glorious freedom offered in the Word of God by the God of grace, because they have a wrong perception of God Himself. God is holy, and God is faithful. He is omnipotent, and He is omniscient, and God has "magnified His Word above all His holy name!" Surely we should Trust All That God Has Said and believe the many precious promises and assurances that He has given to His children in the Word of God? The enemy will accuse you of sin and try to dislodge your trust in God's holy Word, but GOD is the one that has forgiven your sins forever; past, present, and future, and flung them all into the sea of His forgetfulness, simply because we trusted in the Lord Jesus. The enemy will try to flood your mind with doubt and try to discredit the character of God, but God is faithful and true, His Word is forever sure, and all who are believers have been accepted in the Lord Jesus. So, who will bring a charge against you? No-one! Who then is the one who condemns you? No-one! Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you that there is no charges against us and no condemnation, because we are in Christ Jesus our Savior. Thank You that we are covered in His righteousness. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. It is as we dwell in Him and abide in Christ that we fellowship with the Father and commune with His Holy Spirit Who bears witnesses with our human spirit and that we are children of God. What wonderful wisdom of God that the Spirit of Christ can give such beautiful reassurance with our regenerated human spirit. He knows us so intimately, so personally, He is intricately involved with every part of our lives. He helps us in these amazing personal and intimate ways, in every part of our lives, even in our prayer life: "The Spirit also helps our weakness; we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us. We do not need outwards signs, visible proofs, or audible evidences of His presence in our heart. We have His promises in the Word of His saving work of grace in our lives and we have The Permanent Spirit Of Christ Who is a sure witness in our hearts that we truly are the children of God. The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the Holy Spirit and His witness with our human spirit. We want to abide in You and You in us so that Your Holy Spirit will have free access to teach to us and to guide us into all truth. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. Just as the work of the Cross provides salvation when we believe it to be true, the work of the Cross also provides victory over the old sin nature when it is believed. We need to understand that the sin nature remains with us until our life on earth is ended, but The Blood Of Christ Has Given Us Victory over the functioning power of the sin nature within our life. At rebirth, Christ's work on the Cross permanently severed the power that flowed from the old sin nature into the life of the new believer. The electricity (which represents the old-sin nature), is still there, and the lamp (which represents the believer), is still there, but the connection between the old sin nature and the believer has been severed, forever. The power working in a believer either comes from the old sin nature or the new life in Christ. But when Christ died, He not only died for our sins, paying the price of sin (the death penalty), but He died UNTO sin, providing victory over the dominating sin nature and permanently severing us from the power it has over us. By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you, that Christ not only died for our sins so that our sins are forgiven, but He died unto sin so that the old sin nature does not have power over us, as we trust our lives into His hands. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. Christian Hope is centered on the never-failing Word of God and His many precious promises, which are all 'yes' and 'amen' in Christ Jesus our Lord. Christian hope is an ever-flowing fountain of the unfathomable love of God, cascading into our hearts and washing through our lives. Christian hope is the highest expression of glorifying God, it springs from a trusting heart that believes God's Word of truth by faith. Never question the length and depth and height of God's gracious love towards you. God demonstrated His love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The hope that comes through faith in Christ does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, Who was given to us, through time and into eternity. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Our United Prayer:
Thank You, loving Father, for Your unconditional and unchangeable love. You have poured Your love so abundantly and generously into our hearts. Enable us to show forth Your love in our lives, so that others will come to a knowledge of the Lord Jesus. In Jesus’ name, we pray, AMEN |
