Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
Si Dieu abandonnait son Fils pour nous sauver, que n'abandonnerait-il pas pour nous bénir et nous garder ! C'est le point de Paul. Dans 1 Corinthiens 6:19-20, il nous dit que nous avons été rachetés à un prix pour nous encourager vers la sainteté. Ici, il fait la même remarque, mais pour nous rassurer. N'est-il pas étonnant de voir à quel point la vérité de la grâce de Dieu contient une telle bénédiction aux multiples facettes.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
If God gave up his Son to save us, what will he not do to bless, guide, and keep us? That's Paul's point in our verse today. God bought us out of bondage to sin, death, and hell so that now we are holy to him (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Paul was telling the Corinthians that God's overflowing grace should motivate us toward holiness, living wholeheartedly and unabashedly for God while using our bodies to glorify him as a temple to God in the Holy Spirit. In our verse for today, Paul is seeking to motivate us to live for God while also giving us assurance. God was gracious to redeem us when we were undeserving (Romans 5:6-11). Now that we are his children and seeking to honor him, we can trust that he is doing everything to bring his salvation in us to completion! God's initial grace saves us while his ongoing grace blesses us continuously. Isn't it amazing how God's grace is such a multifaceted and ongoing blessing to us?!
Ma Prière...
Dieu Tout-puissant, je suis submergé par Ton amour sacrificiel qui m'est offert en Jésus. Père, s'il te plaît, utilise Ton Esprit pour me pousser à servir en réponse à Ta grâce et fais en sorte que ce Consolateur renforce mon assurance dans Ton salut et dans Ton désir ardent de me donner Tes riches bénédictions. Au nom glorieux de Jésus, je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
Almighty God, I am overwhelmed by your sacrificial love offered to me in Jesus. As your Spirit comforts, encourages, and moves me toward holiness, I revel in the assurance of your continual outpouring of grace as you lead me toward the full realization of salvation, a salvation you long to grace me with your continuous blessings in my life. In Jesus' glorious name, I pray and thank you. Amen.
