Your Daily Bible Verse – 12-05-11

(2 Cor 5:20 NKJV)  Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

We’d like to share with you what was taught today with our home group. This is fitting for all of us, no matter where we are or what we’re going through.

We are ambassadors for Christ. Think about that. Think about what that means.

As ambassadors, we represent the kingdom of God here on earth. Everything we say and everything we do should be done in a way that represents God and His kingdom accurately and in a way that brings glory and honor to our Creator and our Savior.

We are the love and the light of God here on earth. We carry God’s spirit in us and we bring His love, grace, mercy and compassion to those around us, with our words and our actions.

What an incredible gift and an awesome responsibility!

It’s our job and our purpose to share God’s excellence. We need to carry God’s best within us and be ready at a moment’s notice to share it everywhere we go.

God has equipped each and every one of us with His spirit so we will have the words to speak and the actions we need to take in order to show His love to a dying world.

Let’s do our best for him!

Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-21-11

(Rom 6:11-12 NKJV)  Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. {12} Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

Alive in Christ, dead to sin; this is what God says we are to be if we follow Jesus and have accepted his sacrifice on the cross.

Sin is everywhere and we have opportunities to sin every minute of every day. Temptation comes our way in just about everything we do.

But we also have the opportunity to walk away from sin and live righteously every minute of every day! With every temptation that comes our way, God also gives us a way out… a door to walk through that will remove us from that situation that is tempting us.

When we first start walking with God, resisting sin can be tough. Some days it might seem like it’s easier to sin than it is to live righteously. But God has provided us with many weapons to help us battle temptation and sin in our lives.

We have His Word and we have the Holy Spirit. God’s Spirit guides us and warns us when we’re about to face temptation or make a bad decision. God’s word teaches us how to live by the Spirit and not fall into temptation.

We have been blessed with our very own defense mechanism that will help us to avoid dangers and pitfalls. We just need to learn how to hear and take action.

As we learn to walk more closely with God, we hear His voice and resist sin more and more easily. Before we know it, it’s actually harder to sin than to do the right thing, because we now feel the conviction of God more strongly.

This is one of God’s gifts to us to help us live holy, righteous lives in Him. I thank God for His leading and His guidance. It has truly changed my life. I pray that it has changed your life too. If it hasn’t, it’s never too late to start!
