Our Helper

You, however, are not controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. Romans 8:9

Bible Reading: Romans 8:1-17

We have been considering God’s standard of holiness and righteousness. It is not self-righteousness that will save us, rather we have to believe in the saving grace of Jesus and rely on the Holy Spirit to help us live for God. Here are some biblical truth to help us as we seek God.

First, we have become the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). It is absolutely about Jesus Christ. As we fix our gaze on Him, we are transformed unto glory, continually becoming like Him (2 Corinthians 3:18). This position we now occupy in Him is a result of Christ’s death, resurrection and the new life we have in HIM (Ephesians 1:17-23). No wonder Apostle Paul reminded us in Romans 8:1 that: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

Furthermore, the Holy Spirit, who is our Helper and Counselor is always ready to empower us when we rely absolutely on Him. We have to set our affections on things above and live a holy life unto the Lord (Col. 3:1-5). God’s word continually serves as our guide. It is important that we understand our position in Christ Jesus, cooperate with the Holy Spirit, make the word of God our companion, and deny self each day are absolutely important.

Action Point: Make a commitment to grow spiritually byliving according to God’s standard.

Daily Confession: Lord Jesus I thank You for the redemptive grace, the cleansing by the blood of Jesus, the word of God that guides me, and the Holy Spirit that is my Counsellor. I choose to stand in the position I have in Christ Jesus and rely on the Holy Spirit to help me in all things.

Intercessory prayer: Pray for your church members for deeper walk with God. May God meet them at the points of their needs.

Hymn: The Comforter has come,

The Comforter has come!

The Holy Ghost from heav’n,

The Lord’s dear promise giv’n;

Oh, spread the tidings ‘round,

Wherever man is found—

The Comforter has come
