Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
Lorsque nous avons été baptisés en Christ, nous avons partagé sa crucifixion et nous avons été ressuscités pour être une nouvelle personne. Christ est vivant en nous. Le vrai défi est pour nous d'être le Christ vivant dans notre monde ! Notre motivation ? Non pas pour mériter le salut, qui nous a déjà été donné par la grâce, mais pour honorer celui qui a tout sacrifié pour nous sauver. (Voir Romains 6:1-14)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When we were baptized into Christ, we shared in his crucifixion and burial, and were raised to be a new person through our faith in the power of God (Romans 6:3-7; Colossians 2:12-15). Christ is not only alive in us, but our life and future are joined with him in his glory (Colossians 3:1-4). The real challenge is for us to be Christ's presence to our broken world!
How do we do this? We do this as we live by faith in Jesus, who gave himself for us.
Our motivation to do this? It is not to earn our salvation, which has already been given to us by grace, and we received it by faith. Now, we do it to honor him who sacrificed his all to save us.
We can say with the apostle Paul:
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Ma Prière...
Merci, Dieu, de m'avoir aimé et d'avoir envoyé Jésus pour me racheter de mon péché. Je m'engage aujourd'hui auprès de Toi à vivre par la foi en Ton Fils qui s'est donné pour passer l'éternité avec Toi. Je demande que par ton Esprit, tu aides la vie de Jésus à être vue en moi. Par lui je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
Thank you, God, for loving me and sending Jesus to redeem me from my sin. I commit to you today that I will live by faith in your Son, who gave himself so I can spend eternity with you. I ask for the Holy Spirit's power and help so that Jesus' presence comes alive in me. Through Jesus, I pray and seek to live for your glory. Amen.
