Peace with God

Romans 5:1-2?(NIV?)?
Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

To be justified through faith means to be acquitted, to be made righteous, as if you had never sinned. It means you can stand before Almighty God without fear or shame because you have been made clean, worthy, and deserving—not because of anything you have done, but because of what Christ has done for you and your faith in Him. When the enemy says you’re unclean, unworthy, or undeserving, remember what it means to be justified through the blood of Jesus. Remember what it means to have God on your side—forgiving you, pulling you along, and cheering for your progress. As you deepen your relationship with Him, you will find strength for today and gain confidence to face the future.

THINK ABOUT IT
This hope, this assurance, is the firm foundation upon which you can stand and the good news you have to share with the world.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, help me identify with Jesus’ sacrifice and what His blood paid for more than I identify with my feelings or circumstances. May I continually apply His cleansing blood to every aspect of my life so I might walk in His victory and be an effective ambassador for Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, amen.
