Hymn: Chapter 27 (New Hymn 27) 'A shining and high throne'
Meditation: Even Christians, there are surprisingly many people who do not know themselves well. All the religions of the world believe that humans can become righteous if they gradually change their behavior and accumulate good deeds without fully knowing themselves.
Confession of Faith: Apostles' Creed
Text: “For knowing that a person is not justified by works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ… ” (Galatians 2:16-21)
The cross took the place of my curse. I was cursed to be stoned and hung on a tree to die, but Jesus was cursed in my place. You must believe in this to receive salvation and become a child of God. To live by faith, to believe that God loves me, to believe that He sent His Son for me, and to believe that He died on the cross for my sins and my curse. The event that Jesus was crucified was the same thing that I was crucified. Jesus took the place of my curse.
The cross made Christ live in me. Now, I am a precious being with Christ living in me. The event that the resurrected Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit live in me is made up of the events of the cross and resurrection. I do not live in us as the master, but because Jesus enters and lives as the master, we can move by the will of Jesus Christ. Then Jesus becomes the power. Miracles happen when I do what the Lord within me wants me to do.
All I have to do is give my life away so that I can live the life that Christ has planned. We must bring Christ into us to be full. The belief that Christ lives with me is my joy. Living with Christ, this is true happiness.
Through the cross, we have become precious beings with Christ living in us. I bless you that you enjoy happiness because I live in Christ, Christ in me, and with you. I bless you that you will become a person of power where the power of Christ is manifested through you.
Prayer: Heavenly Father! Thank you that Jesus Christ died on the cross to take the place of all my curses. Also, let Christ live in me so that I can live a life of power every day. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
