EMBRACING SALVATION: A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST (5)

TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org

DATE: TUESDAY, 18 JULY 2023

Salvation is a journey that takes us from darkness to light, from brokenness to wholeness, and from despair to hope. Yes, this is true. In this context, darkness represents the state of being separated from God due to sin and its consequences. It is a condition in which we lack spiritual clarity, purpose, and direction. The Bible describes this separation from God as living in spiritual darkness. But Jesus has set the tone right for us when He said in John 8:2,

SCRIPTURE: … “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” (John 8:2 ESV)

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Following Jesus is the focal point here. In the journey of salvation, we experience a growing relationship with God. We learn to trust Him, rely on His guidance, and seek His will for our lives. As we walk with God, the light of His Word shines upon our path, revealing the way we should go. The darkness of confusion and uncertainty gives way to the clarity and wisdom that come from knowing and following God’s perfect plan. Stay Refreshed!

NOTE THIS: Salvation also brings transformation within us. As we continue this journey, the Holy Spirit works in our hearts, gradually conforming us to the image of Christ.

RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, go to God in prayer, ask Him for the grace to follow Him.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, thank You for the amazing gift of salvation. Please give me the grace to know You and follow You, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

PROPHETIC WORD: As you follow Jesus, may your life be illuminated by the light of His Word, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

BIBLE TEXTS: Joun 8:2
