August 6, 2023 - Hebrews 10:10
“By God’s will we have been purified and made holy once and for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus, the Messiah!” Hebrews 10:10 TPT
Lord, how marvelous. We have been made clean and holy. What an incredible gift. And there is no limit to our chances to ask for forgiveness and be made clean. If so, we would certainly all fall short. Thank you so much for how your love extends grace and mercy to us again and again. Thank you for your patience. Help us learn to see our sin. Give us such a sensitivity to it. Let us recognize it and hate it the way you do. Give us insight on how to overcome it. Show us how to fight the enemy and change our sinful behaviors. Jesus, we want to work toward the goal of living a pure and holy life like you lived. Make us more and more holy, day by day.
We thank you again for how much you sacrificed to come and pay the ransom on our lives. What an honor to be loved that much. Help us learn to love you back the way that you have loved us. Thank you for your willingness to suffer for us. Thank you for your willingness to lay down your life in such a shameful way so that we could be made whole. We cannot even begin to thank you enough for all you have done for us. You are so worthy of more than we can ever repay. Let us live our lives in a way that we reward you for the sacrifice that you made.
Let us commit ourselves to living lives that will bring as many people as possible into relationship with you - for you are worthy. Let us be willing to lay down whatever is necessary to make your name known - for you are worthy. Let us be willing to walk away from any sin in our lives - for you are worthy. Let us live pure and holy lives - for you are worthy. Worthy is the Lamb to receive the reward of his suffering.
In Jesus name, amen.
