1. The Love of God the Father
The love of God demonstrated in Christ Jesus’ atoning work on the cross sets us free from slavery to sin and the haunting guilt and condemnation that it brings. Know that if you are in Christ, you are a child of God who can freely approach your heavenly Father anytime, no matter what the season you are in.
“For you have not received the spirit of slavery again to fear. But you have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, ‘Abba, Father.'” (Romans 8:15)
2. The Finished Work of Christ
Christ’s finished work assures us that as we enter the new life that He gives to us, we will be totally free to live our call to be God’s children and Christ’s co-heirs. We can leave the past season behind and press on towards being made perfect in Him.
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)
3. The Indwelling Holy Spirit
Christ didn’t leave us as orphans, for He has asked the Father to send us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to live in us. He possesses the same power that raised Christ from the dead, giving us hope that no matter what we go through we can make it through with flying colours. Let’s trust in Him, follow Him, let Him pray for us, and allow Him to work in our lives no matter whatever we go through.
“Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses, for we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” (Romans 8:26)
