"For the free gift of eternal salvation is now being offered to everyone; and along with this gift comes the realization that God wants us to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures and to live good, God-fearing lives day after day, looking forward to that wonderful time we've been expecting, when his glory shall be seen-the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. He died under God's judgment against our sins so that he could rescue us from constant falling into sin and make us his very own people, with cleansed hearts and real enthusiasm for doing kind things for others." (Titus 2:11-15 TLB) We have been saved in order that we may serve and be examples to this dying world that "life now can be sweet and our joy full and complete!" Jesus gave so much for us and has given so much to us. It's our turn now to serve and give to others.
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for saving us. Help us to daily live our lives as examples of your great and tremendous love for mankind. May all come to know this love! Amen.
1 John 3:1-3. . . .Yes, dear friends, we are already God's children, right now, and we can't even imagine what it is going to be like later on. But we do know this, that when he comes we will be like him, as a result of seeing him as he really is. And everyone who really believes this will try to stay pure because Christ is pure. TLB
