TOPIC: According to the Spirit
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. – Romans 8:1, 4, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
Too many people go around feeling bad about themselves. When they sin and make mistakes, instead of receiving God’s mercy and moving forward, they listen to the voice of the accuser. That voice constantly rails at them about their mistakes, their blown diets, their temper tantrums, and their shortcomings. After so long, they are weighed down with guilt. The enemy’s goal is to deceive them into living condemned.
The last four words of today’s Scripture are so important. When you sin and make mistakes, if you are in the flesh, you beat yourself up. You feel guilty and unworthy. You live depressed and defeated. But choosing that response will leave you on a dead-end street. Instead, embrace the Spirit and say, “Yes, I made mistakes. It was my fault. But I know the moment I repent of my sins and ask for forgiveness, God will forgive me and forget my sins so I can move ahead. Jesus Christ paid the price for my sins and failures two thousand years ago on the cross at Calvary. I am redeemed. I am free.”
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
“Father, thank You that I am forgiven. Thank You that I am redeemed by the blood of Your Son. Thank You that the price for my sins has been paid once and for all. I receive Your love and forgiveness and refuse to live under guilt and condemnation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
