When we repent of our sin and surrender our will and life over to the care of God, amazing things happen. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus we are born again to a new life. By believing in the finished work of Jesus we become co-inheritors with Him 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)
Over the years of the Covid-19 pandemic, the lives of people throughout the world have changed dramatically. Each country tried to minimize any serious infection of their residents by putting laws and restrictions in place for their protection. There was a penalty to pay when people disobeyed these laws and restrictions.
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)
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 while here on earth, made me complete in You. Please let my faith in Jesus be expressed in my actions towards others. Amen
