THE 19th OF JULY
THROUGH JESUS, WE ARE RIGHTEOUS AND SPIRITUALLY ALIVE
“And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.” Romans 8:10
We are also triune beings. Each of us is a spirit that has a soul and lives in a body. The body will experience physical death, but the soul and spirit are eternal. The penalty for sin is death, which is why things are very different for Christians compared to those who reject Christ. If Christ is in us, the only part of us that death can touch is the human body. However, death cannot touch a Christian beyond that. At the rapture, we will receive our perfect, glorified bodies that we will enjoy for all eternity.
As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit united with our spirit. He is life because He is righteous, and there is no sin in the Spirit of Christ. Life and righteousness are interdependent, each involving the other.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Dear Lord, I am so blessed to be Yours. I am happy that Jesus is in me through the Holy Spirit, and I have His righteousness that assures my eternal life. Please help me remain true to You and hungry for more of You. Lord, please help me feel Your presence more and teach me how to offer proper praise to the Father. Thank You, Lord, for redeeming me and making life beautiful and worth living. Glory and honor to Your Holy Name. Amen
