Today’s Scripture
“And his fullness fills you, even though you were once like corpses, dead in your sins and offenses. It wasn’t that long ago that you lived in the religion, customs, and values of this world, obeying the dark ruler of the earthly realm who fills the atmosphere with his authority, and works diligently in the hearts of those who are disobedient to the truth of God. The corruption that was in us from birth was expressed through the deeds and desires of our self - life. We lived by whatever natural cravings and thoughts our minds dictated, living as rebellious children subject to God’s wrath like everyone else. But God still loved us with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace! He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ! Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite, limitless riches of his grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ. For it was only through this wonderful grace that we believed in him. Nothing we did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the gracious gift from God that brought us to Christ!”
Ephesians 2:1-8
Today’s Thought
He raised us up with Jesus and made us sit with Him in victory. We were hopeless but now we are victorious in all we do. Jesus is living in us so just like Him, we are living a totally victorious life.
Today’s Confession
Lord Jesus, because of you I am victorious, because of you I have hope, because of your blood, I am washed clean of my sins. Jesus, you live inside of me, helping me and guiding me through all of life’s ups and downs. You have given me love and I will worship you every day of my life.
