Blood of Christ

October 28th – Titus 3:3

Titus 3:3

As children who depend on our heavenly Father’s care, blessings, and strength everyday, it can be hard to understand how others can reject such a love. And sometimes that lack of understanding can come across as condescending, unloving, and hypocritical to unbelievers. That’s why Paul reminds Titus, and us, how Christians ought to behave. For once we too lived in darkness. We lived lives filled with every kind of sin, void of hope, and separated from God. But in His unmerited mercy, God rescued us from the jaws of death. Allowing us to live in the glorious light of His saving love. And so in treating others, we need to remember the amazing grace in which God treats us. We are to minister to the lost with a humble, gentle, compassionate, and loving spirit. So that the good deeds they see us do, will glorify our Father in heaven. (Matt. 5:16)

March 24th – 1 Corinthians 6:11

1 Corinthians 6:11 

Once we were eternally separated from God, dead in our sins. We practiced all kinds of worldly debauchery. But then we received Jesus as our Savior. And now the heart that once craved immorality, longs for the things of Christ. For we have been washed, sanctified, and justified through the blood of Jesus. So the change in our heart should be followed by a change in our actions. For how can we be shining examples of Christ to the world, if our lives mimic the lives of the unsaved. May we each walk in His Spirit and truth, “so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.” (Phil. 2:15)
