Today : A New Reality
TODAY’S VERSE
“Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.” I Corinthians 1:30 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
It is easy to miss the reality of what Christ has done for us. We get so caught up in our everyday living. Our habits, thoughts, emotions constantly remind us of our humanness. However, Paul reminds us that there is another reality. There is a new you! It was created in Christ when you were born again. Born again as in a “new” creature. So what is this new creature? It is royalty. It is a new child of God. Not made with flesh and blood like you were in your mother’s womb, but rather born again in the Spiritual realm. God took you, with your own self-will and sinfulness and made you right with Him. He created you this time, pure and holy and most of all He has freed you from the power of sin. It is hard to believe but you don’t have to strive to be right with God. You don’t have to beat yourself up to be pure and holy. When Christ died on the Cross and you received His free gift of salvation, He freed you from sin that very moment. He made you over again, pure and holy in His sight. He cancelled any and all records of any wrong doing and made you right with Him. Today, live in this freedom. Look into the mirror of God’s love and see what He sees.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, thank You for Your love and forgiveness. Thank You for freeing me from the punishment of sin. Thank You for Your salvation and making me pure and Holy in Your sight. Help me live today as a person that has been made right with You.
AMEN
