Размышление над стихом дня
Когда мы произнесли Иисуса как спасителя нашего во время крещения, мы погибли для греха. В этом процессе мы возродились и наша вера в Бога и Иисуса подарила нам вечную жизнь (Иоанна 5:24, Колоссянам 2:12). Наша жизнь теперь связана с жизню Иисуса и мы стали одним целом. Его могушественное будущее теперь и наше будущее (Колоссянам 3:1-4). Мы не под законом, а под благодатью. Давайте же ответим на благосклонность Бога желанием прожить праведно и честно. Откроем же наше сердца чтобы Святой Дух сделал нас похожими на Иисуса (2 Коринфянам 3:18). Мы больше не рабы греха. Бог нас освободил. Грех не имеет над нами власть!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
As we called on Jesus' name in baptism and trusted him to be our Savior, we died to sin (Romans 6:3-4). By sharing in his death and resurrection, we died to dying (Romans 6:8-10; John 11:25-26). We passed from death to life because of our faith in Jesus and God's power (John 5:24). Our life is joined with Jesus, and his glorious future becomes our own (Colossians 2:12, 3:1-4). We are not under law, but grace. Let's respond to the gift of grace with passion and with zeal to be holy. Let's open ourselves to the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, who is daily at work transforming us to become more like Jesus with ever-increasing glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). We are grace-children. We don't earn our righteousness. We don't keep laws to be owed salvation. In fact, we could never succeed at such a venture. We are not in bondage to sin, but liberated by grace to be all that God has made us to be — his craftsmanship, his artistry created to do good works (Ephesians 2:1-10). So let's refuse to let sin be our master and live fully into the grace we have received!
Моя молитва
Очисти сердце моё, дорогой Господь и Отец. Возради меня для Твоей милости и не дай греху меня опять окутать. Во имя Иисуса, аминь.
My Prayer...
Purify my heart, dear Lord, and make it new and alive to your grace and dead to the sin that once entangled me. By grace I rejoice and choose to live by the power of your Spirit. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
