Today’s Scripture: Acts 13:39 NLT: Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do.
Be careful! These are the next words after this verse. Just like when Paul was telling them back then we need to heed the warnings today. We continue to heap guilt and attach strings by the law. Yes, we believe, but… there is no but.
This gospel, this Good News is for all of us to believe in Jesus and to rely on His grace. Go back and review and know who God is and what He has done. Creation, His promise to Abraham, His promise to Jacob, His works through Joseph and Moses, the lives of King David and Solomon, and the promises of the coming Messiah through His prophets.
Jesus made us ALL worthy of eternal life. We do not need to complicate this message. The message we heard was that Jesus Christ died and rose again for us. No more, no less. Do you believe?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father thank You for Your Son Jesus who died for my sins. Forgive me when I return to the law seeking salvation. I know through the law I am guilty but through Jesus I am free. Father God thank You for Your Holy Spirit that confirms and renews me. Continually remind me of my death to the law so I might live for You. Amen
