Ephesians 1:4-8: Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. (NLT)
While you were yet a sinner, God loved you and sent His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die for you. (John 3:16).
His love is not something you deserve, it is not something He had to give. It cost the life of His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, but He still did it.
The desire on His heart is to reconcile you to Himself and make you a new creature; holy and blameless before Him. (Ephesians 1:4)
So make the decision today to praise Him! Reflect on His love through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ today. As you reflect in gratitude, think of how much more He is ready to do for you now that you are reconciled with Him in Christ Jesus.
Romans 5:8-10: But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. (NKJV)
Romans 8:31-32: What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? (NLT)
PRAYER: Thank you Abba (Father) for reconciling me to Yourself through the sacrifice of my Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for forgiving me and making me a new creature. Please give me the grace to live worthy of my calling. Make me full of faith and confident that all your promises for me are true in Jesus name. Amen.
