Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
Nous sommes enfants de Dieu, avec tous les droits d'héritiers à part entière! Notre foi, exprimée dans notre baptême, déclare au monde que nous sommes les enfants de Dieu. Nous avons choisi d'être revêtus de Christ et de sa justice, de ne pas dépendre de gagner notre propre salut. Il est notre salut et notre espérance. Il est notre vie et notre force. Il est notre frère aîné et notre Sauveur. Il est notre Seigneur.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul's words are radical. When he wrote them, women didn't have the rights of honor and heirship that sons did. This verse, however, declares all followers of Jesus, men and women, have the rights of sonship and heirship. We are children of God, with all the rights and honors of full heirs! Our faith, expressed in our baptism, declares to the world that we are God's children, his sons by right. It doesn't matter if we are young or old, rich or poor, male or female, bond or free; we have chosen to be clothed in Christ and his righteousness. We do not depend on earning our own salvation. It is given us along with our heirship. He is our salvation and hope. He is our life and strength. He is our older brother and Savior. He is our Lord.
Ma Prière...
Merci, cher Père, de m'avoir adopté dans ta famille. Comment puis-je te remercier pour tout ce que tu as fait pour faire de moi ton enfant et l'héritier légitime de tes glorieuses richesses de grâce. Merci, cher Jésus, pour ton sacrifice qui m'a amené dans ta famille. En ton nom, ô Jésus, j'offre ma prière et ma louange. Amen.
My Prayer...
Thank you, dear Father, for adopting me into your family. How can I thank you for all you have done to make me your child and a rightful heir to your glorious riches of grace? Thank you, dear Jesus, for your sacrifice that brought me into your family. In your name, O Jesus, do I offer my prayer and my praise. Amen.
