Joyce Meyer Devotional 12th December 2024, Thursday Message
TOPIC: The Answer To The Sin Problem
Since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God, and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus. – Romans 3:23–24 (AMP)
Sin is a problem for everyone, but Jesus is also the answer for everyone. No problem is really a problem as long as there is an answer for it.
Not only have we fallen short of the glory of God, but according to Romans 3:23, we are currently falling short. This indicates it is a continual problem, yet Jesus is continually at the right hand of the Father, making intercession for us, so this continual problem of sin has a continual and uninterrupted answer.
Although we deal with sin, we don’t have to focus on our failures. When we are convicted of sin, we can admit it, repent, and then turn toward Jesus. By focusing on Him and His Word, we will receive the power to overcome.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, Your Word teaches us to turn away from all that will distract us from Jesus—the Author and Finisher of our faith. Please help me keep all distractions at bay, so that I can focus my attention onto You, amen.
