Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Jesus did more than die for our sins; he lives as our resurrected Lord. So, since God emptied heaven of the Son, had him die on the cross for our sins, and then raised him from the dead to save us, imagine what God has in store for us now that he has saved us! We have only seen the beginnings of God's love for us, and even though what we have seen is amazing, God will do more than we can ask or imagine for us through the power and presence of our resurrected Lord and Savior, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit that he gives us (Ephesians 3:20-21).
My Prayer...
Holy Lord, we look forward to the day we get to see you and experience your grace in all its glory when we meet Jesus in that glory.* Please inspire us to be courageous and confident when facing challenges in the future. We want to live faithfully and victoriously before others, knowing Jesus is alive forever for us. Father, we believe that the best of what Jesus wants to do in us and through us lies ahead, so use us to your glory. In Jesus' name, we know we are forgiven as we pray confidently and anticipate our future glory with him. Amen.
* This prayer was inspired by Colossians 3:1-4.
