Blessed Beyond Blessed

Today’s Through the Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 3:12-6:20

We have more blessing than could possibly be counted. God Himself redeemed us! We’ve been purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ (1 Pt 1:18, 19); forgiven of all our sins (Col 2:13); justified, the record that detailed our sin has been taken away and we’re declared innocent (Rom 3:24); God has washed us, sanctified us (1 Cor 6:11); He has given us new life (1 Cor 5:17); He has given us eternal life through Jesus Christ (Titus 3:7); He fills us with His Spirit and dwells within us (1 Jn 4:13); He has given us joy for our sadness and filled our heavy hearts with praise (Isa 61:3); He has given us all we need to live life in Him (2 Pt 1:3).

Our faith, our trusting in God, does not end with believing that Jesus died and rose again. That's only the beginning of our faith. We're called to continue living by faith - faith to faith -trusting in God not only for our salvation but for our sanctification! (Rom 1:17; I Cor 10:13)

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11

We are free from sin. It brought us death, but Jesus gives us life. So let’s not hold on to that sin, be bent on giving in to it, or show affection for it! We are Jesus’ people, free to live for Him.

So dig into His Word today and let Him continue to clean you up and fill you with joy!
