SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    John 8:31-38

Freedom from Sin

³¹ So Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, “If you continue to obey my teaching, you are truly my followers.³² Then you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered, “We are Abraham’s children, and we have never been anyone’s slaves. So why do you say we will be free?”

³⁴ Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, everyone who lives in sin is a slave to sin. ³⁵ A slave does not stay with a family forever, but a son belongs to the family forever.³⁶ So if the Son makes you free, you will be truly free. ³⁷ I know you are Abraham’s children, but you want to kill me because you don’t accept my teaching. ³⁸ I am telling you what my Father has shown me, but you do what your father has told you.” 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, though I am sometimes perplexed by that which I don’t understand I have an unshakable confidence in You. Your Word is truth and Your promises never fail. There are many things of which I am uncertain, but I have absolute certainty that I can trust You for everything that concerns me. May obedience be an expression of my unwavering trust and devoted love toward You, my Lord and my God.  Amen.

I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
