WE'VE BEEN REDEEMED

1 Thessalonians 2:13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe

As believers, our goal is to be more like Christ; the life of a Christian is seeking after one goal, Jesus.  Once the word of God fills our hearts it will no longer be us who live, but Christ that lives in us. Then we will understand God’s mercy; is a part of God’s nature, and it will become a part of us as God’s word fill our hearts.  The same generosity, compassion, and forgiveness God give to us we will show to others. Our spiritual walk begins with accepting Christ as our Savior and the Word God will be the road map that leads us to maturity and our purpose.

Lord, the sacrifice of Your Son, redeemed us and made us Your children.  Father, help us be more like Your Son and less of ourselves, give us the peace of Your kingdom which man cannot give.  Lord open our hearts and minds to the wonders of Your love so we may show the same mercy to others that You have given to us.  Lord, teach us how to pray and seek You daily through Your Words, and keep us in Your will. Father, show us that unity is good and pleasing in Your sight that all people be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.  Father, It is so easy to forget Your promise and power when we face uncertain and difficult times. Lord, forgive us but we sometimes doubt that You are real, because there is so much interference in our lives.  So, Lord, we ask that You remove all obstacles that keep us from sitting at Your feet and all that is not of You from us.  Father, You knew that we would struggle with unbelief so thank You for speaking reassuring words to us through the Word.  In Jesus name Amen
