10/07 Ephesians 1:7
7 He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.
HIS
Jesus paid the price to redeem me from my sinfulness and separation from the family of God. Now I am forgiven. I belong to Him. I have become part of the Family of God. No longer a slave to sin. Jesus guides me daily. He gives me wisdom, mercy, grace and understanding. He is Lord.
10/06 2 Corinthians 5:17
17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
NEW
In Christ I am a new person. New heart. New mind. Power to break the chains of my sin. All things are possible in Jesus and I belong to Him. What I was cannot control what I am today. What I am today is just the beginning of what I will be tomorrow. Jesus is Lord of me. Hallelujah.
10/05 Isaiah 1:18
18 “Come now, let’s settle this,” says the LORD . “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.
RETURN
Where are you right now? Are you struggling with a secret sin? Return to the Lord. Confess your sin and He will forgive you and walk with you to fix whatever needs fixing. Turn back to the Lord, repent of your sin and walk with Jesus and He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Praise the Lord for He is righteous and loving and good.
10/04 Acts 3:19
19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.
REPENT
Oh Lord, I’ve done the wrong things. Sin has a grip on me. I want to change and by your power Lord I can. I am no longer a slave to sin therefore help me as I change a lifestyle of selfishness and sinfulness. I will change. I will turn to you. I surrender Lord, here’s my life use me.
10/03 Isaiah 43:25-26
25 “I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again. 26 Let us review the situation together, and you can present your case to prove your innocence.
CASE
I have no case. Lord I am not innocent. My desperate situation requires Jesus and His shed blood cleansing me from all unrighteousness. I know this Lord and I am so grateful for my salvation. Cleanse me of my sin and guide me as I seek to maintain a Godly lifestyle.
10/02 1 John 1:9
9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
SIN
We need to clean up the sin we harbor in our life. Stop sinning. Change our ways. Confess our sinful ways to Jesus. Ask Him to forgive us and cleanse us. Walk with Him. Real simple. I choose Jesus or I lose. We cannot hold hands with the Devil and have a Godly life.
10/01 Matthew 6:14-15
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
HARD
Jesus takes a hard line about forgiveness-we give to get. I must look at my life and those people that I don’t get along with and clean up my act. When I do that I find that forgiveness is given to me at the rate that I forgive. Think. Change. Forgive. Be forgiven.
09/30 Ephesians 5:2
Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
LIFE
All of our life is a canvas for the Lord to use us as His emissary. We are to go and tell. Our life is a life of sacrifice of obedience to the Lord Jesus. Take your cares your troubles and your woes to the Lord and he will equip you to meet the needs of those around you. We are the Lord’s servants. We serve Him by serving those around us. Plant your life and care for those around you.
09/29 Ephesians 5:1
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.
DO
Do the things Christ is calling us to do! Be the type of person that we know the Lord created us to be. It will require our full attention. It will take time. It will require us to be harsh in judging ourselves and lenient in judging others. Love one another.
09/28 Ephesians 4:31
Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
YOU
You change the way you are acting. Change the way you deal with others. Let Jesus reign in your heart and equip you to be kind and good to those around you. Love one another is the call. Be at Jesus beck and call. Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
