Bible Verse of The Day – 11-28-24

1 Peter 2:24-25 (NKJV) 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness – by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

When Jesus Christ died on that cross, He broke the bondage that sin tried to keep us in. He set us free.

The sin that tried to hold us captive has no power over us.

We were completely set free from all that tries to keep us in prison. He says we were healed!

So, if we are healed, we must have been sick; sick from these addictions, weaknesses, etc. These things that have or previously had a grip on us would bring death with them, and would have destroyed our souls if not for the blood of Christ that brings freedom.

But praise God, He made a way through Jesus Christ, His Son!

Those addictions, lust, perversion, hate, jealousy, adultery, etc. have been broken and we can live a life of righteousness in Christ.

We may ask, “how can we? I’m so tempted at times”.

We know that as we cry out in His name, the name of Jesus Christ, and we resist the devil, he will flee.

James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

We can’t love our sin and resist the devil at the same time. It won’t work. We must hate our sin and love Jesus. He will help us overcome the obstacle that pulls on our flesh.

We are all like sheep, heading astray. Every one of us. But through our Savior, the Overseer of our souls, we can be set free!

What hope we have in Him as His children! Amen
