Devotional Reflection
Jesus came to tell us about God. He has shown us what God is really like in the clearest way yet. We can know God, the only one who is real, because of Jesus. Because we are in Christ, we have a special connection with the Father and find a whole new way to live in Him. This life won't end when our bodies do; eternal life starts now as we walk with Him every day and goes on forever. Grace is when God, who is eternal and outside of time, shows Himself to us. If He does it through Jesus, that is salvation!
Prayer
I am confident that because Jesus has united my life to yours, holy and awesome Father, I will spend all of eternity in your presence. I appreciate everything you have done for me, especially the horrendous price you paid to atone for my sins. When no one else knew I was even conceived, you created me and had a plan for my life, and I love you for that. I adore you most of all for being God and making the decision to behave as the kind of Father who desires for His children to know and love Him. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
