- There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 – We need to remember who we are and what we are in Christ. This chapter is filled with such reminders for those who follow Christ. It says we are alive in Christ. It says we are free from sin. It says we are heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ. We are children of God. We are conquerors through Jesus. One of the most defeating things for a Christian is when they forget who they are in Christ. Our enemy knows that and will seek out to label you the opposite of all these things. His goal is to convince you of his false labels. That’s not who you are though. Listen to your Heavenly Father who knows you and saved you. You are what He says you are. Listen to, lean in, and live by what He says you are. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1056
- What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 – We are back at it again with youth camp and last night was night one. I was in a room with over 400 students praising Jesus and learning about His word. Yet do you know what I also am aware is happening at camp this week in the midst of God powerfully moving? An enemy seeking to shut down all the wonderful things God is shaping to do this week. While our enemy is smart, sneaky, and practiced at is work, I have confidence in what this scripture speaks. If my God is with me and if His Spirit is within me and if my God is for me, what do I have to be afraid of! Sure the enemy is going try his best to ruin what’s happening here, but I know my God is going to protect and save. Thanks be to God that we serve a Lord that is present in our lives and powerful to save from our enemies. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2417
