Devotional Reflection
We can't keep God's Law perfectly, so God gave us a sacrifice that makes us righteous and pays for our sins. God's love is so big that He sent Jesus to do what we can't: live a perfect life and die as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. We don't have to live by the law and try to be perfect so that God will accept us. Instead, we live "by faith," trusting that God will see us through Christ's perfection and not our flaws, judge us based on Jesus' holiness and not our sins, and our righteousness is seen through the righteousness of the Son, not our unrighteousness. So, we meet the Law's requirements for righteous behavior without having to be tied to the "curse of the law.
Prayer
Almighty and Most Holy God, thank you for your plan of grace that has saved me from sin and death and given me a way to live victoriously for you. Thank you, dear Father, for Jesus, whose life was awesome and holy, and whose sacrifice for my sins was kind and loving. May what I say and how I live show that your grace has won my heart and that real faith in Jesus has changed my life. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
