What God has done for you through your baptism into Christ is truly AMAZING!!
21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
- I was an enemy of God because of my evil behaviour.
- I used God as a life jacket just for in case the Bible is true.
- I was pretty much like a submarine Christian, surfacing on Sundays.
- My sinful life.
- Not living wholeheartedly for God.
- God was not my first love.
- It means I have confessed all my sin that i know of to have a clear conscience before God.
- Holy means set apart for God.
- That means God is my first priority.
- Without blemish I think, I do not live in my obvious sin any more.
- Free from accusation means that people should see in my life that I am a disciple of Jesus through my life and doctrine.
- I need to continue in my faith.
- For me it is really reading, studying my Bible every day and praying.
- Also to confess my sin so that God can forgive me of it daily (1 Jn 1:5-10)
- If I love God I will be about His purpose for me and that is making disciples, sharing my faith on a daily basis.
Prayer:
- Morning Father.
- Thank you,thank you, thank you for saving me and forgiving my sin.
- Thanks you that I can be part of your kingdom, your church here on earth.
- Thank you for my new brothers and sisters in Christ.
- Help me to live a holy life, without blemish and free from accusation.
- Yes I do know that my sinful habits / struggles will not disappear over night but I am determined to make it happen and live as a disciple.
- I love you Lord.
- Amen.
