Verses: Romans 8 : 1 - 8
My thoughts about the verses:
The gift of living in the spirit is everlasting life and peace. Peace comes to those that understand that Jesus died to take away all the sins that were ever committed by us. We have to understand that Jesus lived a human life that was pure and holy. He obeyed the law and therefor lived completely without sin. Jesus was able to live out the law as good and through his death he was able to take away the bad that we had committed in the law.
Everlasting life comes to those that fully comprehend that Jesus death was what was needed to take away our sin. The one that was without fault was sacrificed for those that were full of faults. The sacrifice was that of the purest lamb. Therefor if we put our trust in the Risen Savior we are gifted with eternal life.
The person that trusts in Jesus lives to obey God. They walk knowing that it isn't their actions that have made everlasting life and peace possible. They know that they are forgiven of their sins. They know that they have done nothing to earn their peace. That it all comes from accepting Christ.
The person that does not accept Jesus into their life does not receive the free gifts that God wants them to have. They get rewards here on Earth that is superficial. They believe that fulfilling their human nature will make them feel rewarded in their afterlife. When actually what happens is that their spirit is dead. They are in direct opposition to God. Even though they are given many opportunities to accept Jesus in their heart they choose not to accept the Savior. They push God from the center of their life and never found peace.
God gives us many beautiful things to help us understand the saving grace that comes through Jesus. The next time you are out in nature observe the things that find peace by just existing. I loved this little flower because I saw the image of the Spirit in its shadows. See how graceful and peaceful it is. That is just a mere glimpse of what life is like when you have Jesus in your life. Being surrounded by God's nature and seeing its serenity brings you closer to understanding true peace.
Seeing God's creation and how different each one is helps us see how much God loves us all. There is no one that God does not want to be with in Heaven. Yet, it comes down to our decision. Our Eternal life is based on our decision to choose to follow the God of Peace and everlasting life or to live for human nature. God sent the only gift that we need and that is the Messiah that came to die for us.
Prayer:
Dear God we thank you for your abundant gifts that you have given to us. We thank you for the Messiah who came to take away the sins that we have committed. We thank you for allowing us to see your beauty in the simplest things of nature. We ask dear God that you help us understand what you desire from us. Help us each day move closer in relationship with you. Help us dear Risen Savior to put the things of the world behind and walk closer we you. In the name of the Most High we pray. Amen
Questions:
Have you accepted to live with God in your life? Have you found the peace that God so freely gives? Are you living for fulfillment of your human needs or for your spiritual needs? How can you show others how to find the peace that comes from trusting the one who died for all?
