Living Free

DAN 3 OD 11

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you from rescuing me from death and giving me eternal life in Jesus Christ. Thank you that you didn’t leave me in my shame, but you came after me and embraced me in all my brokenness. Your love is amazing. I want to experience more of you and be transformed by your grace. Help me to worship and honor you with the life you’ve given me!

One Hope

Every single one of us falls short of God’s standard, and we are all deserving of his penalty (Romans 3:23). We were all dead in our trespasses, and only the amazing grace of God has the power to transport us from death to life. No amount of human effort could ever accomplish this. But God loves us too much to leave us to our own demise. From the moment sin entered the world, He had a rescue plan. He was coming for us.

Since we have no ability whatsoever to save ourselves, there had to be a Savior. We might be able to escape bad situations, unsafe locations, and harmful relationships, but it’s impossible to escape from ourselves. By now you have probably come to the realization that you cannot run from who you are, what you have done, and what you deserve. Our only hope is that our God’s redeeming love will move towards us and do what we are incapable of doing.

God sent his only Son to be the second Adam. Jesus Christ entered into this broken world and faced the temptations that Adam faced, but he did not fall. Our Savior would obey perfectly where Adam failed, and surrender his life to take on himself Adam’s punishment. The second Adam chose to die in our place. Jesus met God’s righteous requirements and fulfilled the whole law, which opened the way for us to have an eternal relationship with God again. Everything he did, he did for you. 

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  1. In what ways do you still try to earn the free gift of salvation?
  2. What is the purpose of the law? Why was it important for Jesus to fulfill the law? (Matthew 5:17-20)
  3. How have these verses caused you to love Jesus more?

What’s Next? 

  1. Confession and repentance are the keys to living in the light and experiencing full freedom. Spend some time confessing to God where you fall short of his standard and thank him for his forgiveness and abundant grace.

Living Free

Jesus promised his followers that they never had to walk in fear because He overcame the worst this world could bring against them. Over the course of 11 days, we will examine Romans 5-8 to better understand how following Jesus Christ enables us to live free from fear, failure, demands, and death itself.
