Scripture: “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?” Romans 7:24 NIV "Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!" Romans 7:25 NIV Application: What would we be if the Bible were filled with only perfect people? Shallow and defeated. Other religions and spiritual beliefs have flawless leaders. Their characters never stumble. But examine the lives of Abraham, Moses, Sampson, David, Queen Esther, King Solomon, Rahab, Peter, Paul...the list goes on. These were real people, like us. Yet they overcame. The Bible continues with an uncanny message: despite our character flaws, God never stops loving us, and to get us beyond our flaws, He has provided the Way, through the help of the only perfect human Who every existed. Jesus Christ Prayer: Father, Your Word lives in us, even with our personal daily failings. We welcome the Bible's teaching, conviction, and rescue from our human flaws. Amen. Comments are closed.
