“For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death” (Romans 7:5). Sin produces destructive results; left unchecked, sinful desires result in spiritual death and brokenness. Freedom comes through Christ, not through self-improvement alone.

“No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father” (John 10:18). Jesus’ death wasn’t a tragic accident but a deliberate act of love and obedience, carried out according to the Father’s plan for salvation. Because He has authority over death, we can have confidence in His victory over the grave and His power to give eternal life.

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me” (John 14:30). Believers are called to eliminate spiritual footholds that give the enemy access. Sin can give him opportunities to influence our lives, but walking in obedience to God helps prevent such footholds from developing.
- September 5
“Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth” (1 Peter 2:2). As followers of Christ, we’re encouraged to imitate His character, humility, and obedience. His life demonstrates what complete submission to God looks like.
- September 4
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). This captures the heart of the Gospel of Grace and exemplifies the Great Exchange that Jesus accomplished. Christ took upon Himself the penalty for sin even though He was completely innocent; in return, we receive a right standing before God through faith.
- September 3
“For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Christ experienced the realities of life in a fallen world. He understands weakness, suffering, pressure, and temptation from firsthand experience; we can therefore confidently bring our struggles to Him.

“Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith” (Romans 16:25, 26). Spiritual stability comes from God's power rather than from human effort. Grace, in the form of Jesus Christ, is how He establishes believers in the faith.

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly” (Matthew 11:28-30, MSG). Constant drama in our relationships is not only unhealthy but also exhausting, and many of us know what it feels like to be worn down by repeated conflict. Jesus offers us rest from this through a relationship with Him.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). Christianity is more than just following rules; it’s God living in and working through us. The Christian life is impossible to live independently of Christ.

“And why do you think I keep risking my neck in this dangerous work? I look death in the face practically every day I live. Do you think I’d do this if I wasn’t convinced of your resurrection and mine as guaranteed by the resurrected Messiah Jesus?” (1 Corinthians 15:30-31, MSG). Paul viewed the spread of the gospel as a mission worth every risk. His example reminds us that serving Christ may require courage, perseverance, and personal sacrifice.

“So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, ‘Abba, Father’” (Romans 8:15, NLT).
Religion has taught us to fear God’s wrath when we sin or make a mistake. However, under the covenant of grace that we’re living under now, He picks us up when we fall, loves on us, and encourages us like an earthly father does with his children.

“Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved” (Matthew 9:17).
“Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved” (Matthew 9:17).

“So, as the Holy Spirit says: ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts…’” (Hebrews 3:7, 8, NIV).
God is always speaking His love and grace over us, but not everyone hears Him. A hardened heart and a seared conscience are the eventual result of sin-consciousness, and it causes spiritual deafness.
April 9
“I am writing to you who are mature in the faith because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning…I have written to you who are God’s children because you know the Father…” (1 John 2:13, 14, NLT).
God is all about relationships. Accepting Jesus and becoming born again allows us to enter a relationship that elevates us to being members of God’s family; this is no small thing.
April 8
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people” (Ephesians 1:18, NIV).
As believers, we’ve received spiritual vision that goes beyond seeing with our physical eyes. This kind of insight and wisdom comes from God and springs from our hearts.
April 7
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15).
Grace has radically changed our relationship with God. In the Old Testament, He was a judge who punished people for their sins and wrongdoing; in the New Testament, He is no longer a judge but a loving Father who wants to be part of our everyday lives.
April 6
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
Under the law, God was distant and unapproachable. Under grace, it’s the exact opposite; God invites us into His presence so He can show us mercy and help us when we’re struggling.
April 5
“By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh” (Hebrews 10:20).
Doing the same old things that religious traditions teach us gives us sub-par results in life and prevents us from enjoying God’s best. There’s no reason to get stuck living according to the old way when the new and living way through Christ is now available to us.
April 4
“In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness” (Hebrews 9:22, NLT).
We all make mistakes, but religion has taught us to beat ourselves up over them and condemn ourselves. The beauty of living under grace instead of under the law is that Jesus shed His blood to make God’s forgiveness available to us; we can therefore forgive ourselves.
