Words of Encouragement
November - 06 - 2005
Jesus did what we could not do; he lived perfectly before God. He showed that sin isn't a necessity in our lives and that it does not have to hold us captive. He poured out his Spirit on us so that we could not only share in his forgiveness and cleansing grace, but also so that we could have power to live in a way that pleases God. Jesus is our sin offering and our Savior.
Let us read Romans 8:3-4.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.Let us pray.
Thank you Father for providing the sacrifice for our sins. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for being willing to pay the awful price to ransom us from those sins. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for living in us and helping us to live for God. Thank you, O God, for your salvation!
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
