*TUESDAY 5TH NOVEMBER, 2024**TEXT: ROMANS 8:9-17*
*SPIRITUAL FOCUS: THE BLESSING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.*
The reading we had revels that everyone who has received God's forgiveness through the death of Christ and believes in Him, has the Holy Spirit. He who does not have the Spirit living in him, is not saved (verse 9). Happily, since the Holy Spirit lives in us, we have no reason or excuse to commit sin, though it is not by keeping God's law that we are saved.
However, everyone who is already saved, keeps the law not by his own power, but by the Holy Spirit who lives in him. It is the help of the Spirit that makes us know that we are saved (verse 16) because of His testimony in our hearts that we are His. There is no doubt, the Spirit will direct us if we believe and listen to Him (verse 14). This will enable us to become God's beloved children, HEIRS of His eternal kingdom with Jesus.
Today there are many believers in Christ who do not want to suffer for Him. According to them, following Him is an easy way of life. This is a big mistake. Since we are the heirs of the kingdom, Jesus Christ, the senior HEIR suffered for us, we must suffer as He suffered so that we can live our lives in peace.
*FOOD FOR THOUGHT:*
God has chosen us.
*PRAYER:*
O Lord God, give me the power to trust You, to thank You for the blessing of sharing the throne with Your Son Jesus Christ, Amen.
