Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation).— Ephesians 2:5 (AMPC)
Paul said, “My determined purpose is, that I may know Christ, and the power of His resurrection, the power that lifts me out from among the dead, even while I am in the body” (see Philippians 3:10–11).
Every day is a new opportunity to get to know God in a deeper way. Read the Bible for understanding of what He wants to show you, and receive His grace to be lifted out of every past fault and freed from every bit of guilt and condemnation (see Romans 8:1; 1 John 1:9). Let His power lift you into life His way—full of righteousness, peace and joy (see Romans 14:17).
Prayer Starter: Father, I want to get to know You better today. Make Your Word clearer to me today than it was yesterday, and help me live the life You’ve called me to. In Jesus’ name, amen
