2. His Daily Renewed Mercies
“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed; His compassions do not fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Do you have that nagging feeling that you’re going to end up doing wrong or failing to please God even if you are a Christian? Well it’s true that no one is perfect and that all men has fallen short of God’s glory, but in Christ, our lives are never that same way again ever.
In Christ, we can come boldly to the throne of God where we can obtain grace and mercy in time of our need (see Hebrews 4:14-16). God’s mercies are new every morning. He does not run out of mercy and patience toward us. All of His goodness is made available to us so that we can pursue Him, His holiness, and work towards being moulded in His likeness.
3. His Blessings for You in Christ
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ…” (Ephesians 1:3)
As children of God, we have already been blessed with every spiritual blessing that we can ever imagine. In Christ, we are reinstated as God’s children, given dominion over the earth (see Genesis 1:26). We are seated with Christ in the heavenly places (see Ephesians 2:6-7), and are given the authority to bring God’s love and freedom to all men (see Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20).
We should not fear anything except God (Matthew 10:28; Psalm 118:6). We must take advantage of God’s goodness so that we can live for Him powerfully (2 Peter 1:2-11)!
