GOD’S WORD FOR JULY 3
Romans 6:11 (Amp) “ Even so, consider yourselves to be dead to sin [and your relationship to it broken], but alive to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.” When we accept the sacrifice of Jesus, and agree to His substitutionary death for our punishment, our dead spirits come alive and are connected with the Holy Spirit. We are forgiven of all our sins, and our sin nature that we inherited from Adam is replaced with the perfect nature of Jesus Christ. We no longer live to sin, but we live for Christ and in Him. We still sin because we are still in the body, but it shouldn’t be a habit anymore. We need to confess each sin to God and repent of it, asking for strength to not do it again. We can communicate with God and receive strength to stay away from living for sin. We thank You, Lord, for taking us out of the pit we were in. You said that even thinking negative about someone is a sin, so we sinned many times. Thank you for forgiveness and for the unbroken fellowship with You!!! We praise You forever.
NOTE to the reader: If you’re not sure how to be saved, and receive the promises in the Bible, feel free to message me, or talk to another true born again Christian. Jesus died for each of us. No one is excluded, no one is “too far gone”. He came to seek those who are lost, and, although He is fully God, He became man to suffer and die for YOU. But you need to accept this free gift. You can start by reading the gospel of John, and the epistles (Especially Romans, Corinthians, Ephesians, and Colossians) Go to Him sincerely, He WILL show you the Truth!!!
