Pensamento:
Libertos! Fomos libertos da lei, do pecado e da morte. Fomos libertos para servir a Deus e compartilhar da sua graça eternamente. Então, como usaremos essa liberdade!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We have been set free! Christ Jesus has delivered us from law, sin, and death through God's grace and our faith in him (Romans 8:1-4). We have been set free from trying to be justified by our adherence to the law. We now serve God out of our thankfulness for his grace, empowered by the Holy Spirit to share in the salvation that Jesus has poured out upon us (Titus 3:3-7). So how will we use this freedom? We must NOT allow ourselves to be "burdened again by a yoke of slavery" to sin or law-keeping! Instead, we live by the power of the Holy Spirit so we can be transformed to become more and more like Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:22-25) as we fulfill the "righteous requirement of the law" as we "do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit" (Romans 8:4).
Oração:
Deus de liberdade e graça, por favor, dá-me o seu Espírito de sabedoria para entender plenamente todas as maneiras que o Senhor tem me abençoado. Por favor, ajude-me a usar essas bênçãos para compartilhar a sua graça com a minha família e meus amigos. Que eu nunca faça mau uso dos seus presentes ou abuse as minhas liberdades ganhas com tão grande custo. No nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém. || Obrigado por curtir e compartilhar! Valeu!

My Prayer...
God of freedom and grace, please empower me with the Holy Spirit so I may fully understand and live in holiness as I live into the freedom you have given me. Please use me to share your grace and blessings with my friends and family through the power of the Spirit. May I never take for granted the gift of my freedom won at such a great cost. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
