Live A Guilt-Free Life – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional February 22nd

(You’re Justified And At Peace With God)

TO THE BIBLE: Romans 5:1 CEV
“By faith we have been made acceptable to God. And now, because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we live at peace with God.”

LET’S TALK
God isn’t angry with you nor does He have a logbook of your wrongdoings. He’s your loving, heavenly Father and through Jesus Christ, you’ve come home to Him (the Father).

The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ have brought you into a harmonious and inextricable union with God.

It’s like migrating to a new country; you’d be granted access into such a country and regarded as a legal immigrant only after you’ve acquired the right visa. Ephesians 2:13 NIV says, “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”

Following Christ’s substitutionary work, you’ve been granted access to God to relate with Him as your Father, without fear!

Don’t be afraid that one day God may remember all the wrong things you’ve done and punish you as a result. You’ve come home to Him; you’re at rest in Christ Jesus.

In Christ, you’re in God’s divine presence, at peace and in fellowship with the Father. This should be your consciousness when you worship the Lord in prayer. You have been justified and are now at peace with the Father who delights in you. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for bringing me into a life of peace and fellowship through Jesus Christ! Now I live in your presence forever, justified, holy and righteous before you in love. Thank you for an everlasting life of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
