TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Our lives are a fragrance presented by Christ to God..." (2 Corinthians 2:15, NLT).
TODAY'S WORD Proverbs 28:1 tells us that "the righteous are as bold as a lion." But the only way you´re going to have that kind of boldness is to know that you have been made righteous through Jesus. When you know who you are in Christ, when you know that God is smiling upon on you and that your sins are forgiven, then you´re going to hold your shoulders back and have the boldness and confidence that God really wants you to have. Being righteous doesn´t mean that you´re perfect. It doesn´t mean that you don´t make mistakes and sin. Righteousness is being in right standing with God. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and have a desire to please Him, then you have been made righteous. You have been born into God´s very own family. You did not do anything to earn this righteousness, it´s simply a gift. Because of Jesus´ obedience to pay the price for our sin, we are made righteous through Him! Receive His gift of righteousness today so you can move forward in the boldness and victory He has for you! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son to pay the penalty for my sin. As a believer in Jesus, I receive Your righteousness by faith today so that I can live in boldness and confidence all the days of my life. In Jesus´ Name. Amen. |
