Safeguarding Our New Life

Thursday April 15, 2021
 

When we repent of our sin and surrender our will and life over to the care of God, amazing things happen.  We are born again to a new life through the death and resurrection of Jesus.  By our belief in Jesus, we become co-inheritors of the Kingdom of God and have a part to play in the plan of God for the community He has placed us in.  When we receive Jesus into our lives, our lives are complete in Him.


Don’t tell lies to each other; it was your old life with all its wickedness that did that sort of thing; now it is dead and gone. You are living a brand new kind of life that is continually learning more and more of what is right, and trying constantly to be more and more like Christ who created this new life within you. (Colossians 3:9-10 TLB)


In the past year and months of the Covid-19 pandemic, the lives of people throughout the world have changed dramatically.  Each country has been trying to minimize infection of their residents by putting laws and restrictions in place for their protection.  There is a penalty to pay when people disobey these laws and restrictions. 

God wants to protect His people from the stubborn infection of sin in their lives.  In the Bible He tells us what is good for us and what will cause us harm.  If we disobey God’s laws, there is also a penalty to pay.



For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23 TLB)

We need to pay attention to what God says in His Word.  We need to put in place His laws that will protect us and those around us from the infection of sin.  We have been made complete in Jesus and we want to safeguard our lives from everything that would cause damaging infection.

Give up your evil ways and start thinking pure thoughts. And be faithful to me! Do you really want to be put to death for your sins? (Ezekiel 18:31 CEV)

Prayer: Gracious God, Thank You for Jesus, who by His finished work on earth, made me complete in You.  Please let my faith in Jesus be expressed in my actions towards others.  Amen
