Verses: Romans 6 : 15 - 23
My thoughts about the verses:
I love the song "The Wind Beneath My Wings." If you think about it Jesus is the person that is in our shadow getting us through the dark moments of our life. We are free because the gift that he gave us. We do not have to die an everlasting life, because he died for our sins. We are free to have Everlasting Abundant Life because of what Jesus did for us.
Before you allow Jesus in your life you are caught in the snare of sin. You do things because of how good it feels to you. You do things that are against not only the law of God but also of man. There is no hero with you during those days. You are in a dark shadow that keeps you from seeing the light.
Once you accept Jesus into your life you are lifted out of the darkness. You are elevated into the light. You will soon find that you regret the things of your past. Yet, God does not even see those things. The only thing that God sees is the blood that cleansed our sins. Jesus's sacrifice allows us to have everlasting life. No longer are we alone. We always have someone with us that helps us through our life.
This is my favorite part of the song "It might have appeared to go unnoticed, But I've got it all here in my heart. I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it. I would be nothing without you." How true this statement is when you think about what Jesus has done for us. He is in everything we do. Once you have the Holy Spirit living within you the things of the old are forever changed. You know when you are doing what is right. You also know when you do things that are not the will of God. Jesus is the only thing that gets you through life because he lives deep within your heart. You are not blessed because what you have done. Rather you are blessed because of what Jesus did. Amazing how a song can mean so much.
Jesus is not only there for you but for everyone. You can hide Jesus from others for as long as you want. Yet, when you share the love that Jesus has given you the light gets brighter. People that you may not even know may come to understand the need to have Jesus living deep within their heart. There is only one hero in our life and that should be God. There are so many people that help us through life, yet if you look at those that truly love you and do things for you do they not have the Holy One living with them also. Jesus is not only there for you but for everyone.
So take off the shackles of sin. Take on the peace of God. Live within the law because that is the will of God. Does that mean you will never fall and commit sin. No Jesus knew that there would be times because of our human nature that we would do things that were against his will even though we have found the peace. Yet, we need to strive every day to do right things because, that shows other the love that they need and gives them the protector and hero that they need to make it through their life struggles.
Prayer:
Dear Savior we thank you for freeing us from our shackles of sin. We thank you for carrying us through our struggles. We thank you for always being there even when we go astray. May you help us understand how much we truly need to live in your love. Help us dear God be the light that the world needs. Let us Forget the things of the past so that we may live in the new covenant that you have established for us. In the name of the Risen Savior we pray. Amen
Questions:
Have you been freed from the slavery of sin? Have you allowed God to live freely in your life? Do you understand that the only way to be totally free is to allow God into your heart? Are you allowing God to be the strength that carries you throughout the day? Have you shared the message of God with all those that need to find comfort and peace?
