تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
يذكرنا بولس ان معموديتنا ليست فقط تغطيس فى المياة. لكن فى المعمودية شاركنا المسيح فى دفنه و قيامته. ما فعله لكى ينقذنا الان يشاركنا به. نحن نموت عن الخطية و نقوم لنصبح انسان جديد طاهرا مقدسا يقويه الروح القدس. لقد تحررنا من قوة و عقوبة الخطية.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul reminds us that our baptism was more than just a dunking in water. In baptism, we share in Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. What he did to save us, we now get to share with him in doing. We died to sin and were raised to be a new person, cleansed and made holy, empowered and indwelled by the Holy Spirit. We have been set free from the power and penalty of sin and the limits of our mortal physical bodies. This experience we had with Jesus is our physical connection, our assurance of our future spiritual glory with him! Why? Since "we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection."
صلاتي
ايها الآب اشكرك لأنك اعطيتنى حياة جديدة فى المسيح. اشكرك لأن كفرت عن خطيتى بنعمتك. اطلب منك ان تعطينى القوة لأحيا حياة الحرية بعيدا عن الخطية. سامحنى على المرات التى تهاونت فيها مع الخطية. اعطنى ان انفر بشدة من اي شيء يلوث نفسي او يبعد قلبي عن ارادتك. في اسم يسوع اصلي. آمين.
My Prayer...
Father, thank you for giving me new life in Jesus. I am truly thankful that your grace covers my guilt, makes me holy, and gives me assurance of my future. I ask for the Holy Spirit's power to live my life in freedom from sin. Please forgive me for allowing my passion to slip into mediocrity and sin. Give me a strong sense of revulsion toward anything that would pollute my soul or distract my heart from your will. I refuse to be a slave to sin, and I choose to build my life on my promised future with you. In the name of Jesus, I thank you and recommit my life to you today. Amen.
