2 Corinthians 2: 8 – 10 “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.”
Dear God,
I understand that Jesus, who created all things, is all powerful, totally pure, good and merciful, loving me along with every other soul, born under the heavens. The hard to understand truth is, it does not matter whatever our sins are, and we are counted precious in the heavenly courts. You, God our Father show us Your love, by sending Jesus Your Son to rescue and atone for each and every sinful person. Jesus redeemed every person from their sins, because He took upon Himself all our sins, and atoned for them, by allowing Himself to be put to death, as our sin price.
Oh it is a wonderful thought, I am saved out of my darkness and sin, by the merciful love of God, the Father, Who has given us His Son. It was Jesus Himself, clothed in a human body, who allowed Him to be crucified as the complete sacrifice, doing away with the substitute animal that was killed, and with its blood had pointed to the Saviour. Once Jesus had made His supreme sacrifice, there was no need of any animal sacrifice. We can come to Him, anytime and I can be reconciled to Him, just as if I had never sinned; and be made complete in Him. Although Jesus is the head of all principality and power, He has and is doing this for me
Lord I see that I have not worshiped You enough or as You deserve; nor adored You enough, as You deserve. Please forgive me and enlighten me as in confession I make things right with You and truthfully with joy give You what wells out of my heart of love for You.
Amen.
