Greater Commitment (II)

Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:39

Bible Reading: Romans 8:31-39

Each time I read today’s Bible passage, I leap for joy because “if God is for me, who can against me?” I also tremble at God’s power, and His pre-eminence because He is the Lord of all! While this truth strengthens me, it also humbles me because it reminds me that I am kept by God’s grace, and that righteousness and holiness are key to walking with God who gives grace abundantly. (Ephesians 1:8).

While God continually strengthens His children, the devil wants to weaken us. Sin humiliates and condemns. Fear is the instrument the devil uses to oppress and torment many children of God. Many times, some Christians forget that they have been redeemed, justified and have become the righteousness of God when they gave their life to Jesus Christ. The load of sin pulls many people down and devil also mocks them. Today’s reading is a bold declaration that God’s love secures us. In fact, we are to glory in our salvation, and continually walk in harmony with God. Since perfect love casts out fear (I John 4:18), it is important to remember that God’s commitment to loving us is by grace, and not by works. This should also open a new chapter of deeper relationship with God and a walk devoid of sin and carelessness.

Like Apostle Paul, I ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. (Amen)

Action Point: Pray with Ephesians 1:17-23

Intercessory prayer: We pray for those who feel lonely to encounter  God’s love.

Song: Open the eyes of my heart Lord (x2)

I want to see You

To see you high and lifted up,

Shining in the light of Your glory,

Pour out Your power and love

As we sing holy, holy, holy.
