MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Thursday January 9 2020
Topic: Faith and Justification
Text: Acts 13:38 – 41
Anyone
who repents from his/her sins always has the concern of justification hence the
need to learn assurance of salvation. Here, Paul assures his listeners that it
is only through Jesus Christ we can obtain a complete justification; for by Him
a complete atonement was made for our sin.
There
are two things we have to note in our text.
1.
That through this Man, who died and rose again, is preached unto them the
forgiveness of sins.
2. It
is only through Christ that those who believe in Him are justified from all
things; from all the guilt and stain of sin, from which they could not be
justified by the Law of Moses.
Presently,
many still see justification as through our personal efforts. It is not so! If
we believe in Jesus as the Messiah, accept Him and His sacrifice on the Cross
of Calvary by faith, He did for us what the law could never do; justify us
before God. The law could not bring peace. It is by Jesus Christ we obtain a
complete justification; for by Him a complete atonement was made for sin. Paul
ended with a warning (Acts 13:40, 41).
We
should take this warning to heart because though they were meant to come upon
impenitent sinners, they are designed to awaken us to beware lest it come upon
us. Have you accepted Jesus as your Saviour?
Food for Thought: Our justification is based on the work of Christ at the Cross of
Calvary. How much do you appreciate this?
Memory verse: Romans 3:28
Prayer:
Lord, as you have justified me, help me to remain same in Jesus name.
