At
just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone
might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans
5:6-8
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
Jesus
died for us, but not because he had some high hopes for who we are or what we
would be. No, he died for us because he knew exactly who we are and what we
would be without him. But praise be to God, we are now God's righteousness
because he took our sin and gave us God's grace (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
MY PRAYER...
Holy God, thank you
for Jesus, my Savior. No words are adequate to express my love and devotion to
you for such an incredible gift! Through him I give and live my thanks to you.
Amen.
VICTORY OVER ALL
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"But
thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus
Christ"
(Romans
8:11, AMP)
TODAY'S WORD
This
coming weekend, we will celebrate the resurrection of our precious Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. So much happened at Calvary's cross over two thousand
years ago; but ultimately, because of Jesus, we can celebrate victory! Jesus
overcame sin and death so that we can have abundant life. Because of Jesus, we
have total victory over anything that would try to hold us back in this life!
No
matter what stronghold, sin, addiction or bondage has held you captive in the
past, today you can be free. When you receive Jesus as your personal Lord and
Savior, you receive His power. Sin can't hold you back any longer because when
the Son sets you free, you are free indeed! (See John 8:36.) It all starts by
believing and receiving this promise and then building faith by hearing the
Word of God.
Today,
if you don't know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, there's no better
time to get on the road to victory! Receive Him, receive the truth, and let it
transform every area of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly
Father, thank You for giving me victory! Thank You for Your Word which is life
and healing water to my soul. I choose to set my heart and thoughts on You,
knowing that You are empowering me to overcome in every area of my life in
Jesus' name. Amen!
