My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense — Jesus Christ the Righteous One. — 1 John 2:1 Thoughts on Todays Verse... God hates sin. Dont you? I know I do. But isnt it amazing how well fall back into the same old traps again and again. This is where John, the tender Shepherd that he was, hits the nail on the head. The goal is to not sin even one sin. But, knowing our struggle against the flesh, John also gives assurance to those of us trying to live faithful and pure lives. He wants us to know that when we do sin, the Sacrifice for our sins, Gods Son, is also our defense attorney who proclaims us sinless by his blood! So lets draw close to Christ. Lets invite him into our heart each morning as we begin the day. Lets trust in his power and grace to sustain us and carry us through. When we do, he will! My Prayer... God, no one and nothing is like you. I did not have to provide the sacrifice for my sins. Even though my sins broke your heart, you provided that sacrifice. Please use me today as I try to give myself, my life, and my future back to you as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to you as I try to say thank you for your grace. Through Jesus, and in his name I pray. Amen. The Thoughts and Prayer on Todays Verse are written by Phil Ware. You can email questions or comments to phil@verseoftheday. © 1998-2014, Heartlight, Inc.
