Because God sent Jesus to rescue us by taking the penalty of our sin on his cross, we do not have to suffer that penalty ourselves.

Daily Grace devotion for January 20, 2021.

Never will we find power against sin in our pride, but only in the humility that acknowledges our need for spiritual strength from daily grace.

Rather, when we ask God for help, we do so with the confidence that the One who knows the end from the beginning will do precisely what is best.

Prayer in Jesus’ name submits our finite understanding to God’s infinitely good plan to show Christ’s character and care.

God can still speak to us from his Word by allowing others to encourage us with its truths.

When we exercise the sacrificial love of Christ, we deepen our understanding of God’s care for us.

We are most determined to live for God, when we know he provides care despite our undeserving, not because we have qualified for his love.

Be encouraged today, knowing that your flaws do not disqualify you from God’s purposes.

Jesus intends for us to relate to other believers on the basis of our eternal relationship with him and the identity he shares with them.
