+ In Sin and Need
Romans 3:22
This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,
+ In Salvation and Acceptance
Romans 10:12
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile —the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
+ In Standing and Liberty
Acts 15:9
He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith.
Psalm 37:16-17
“Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.”
What is your most important capital; your money or your character? I can assure you, this question will be asked of you a myriad of ways; quite often at the worst of all possible times when you are most vulnerable. Martin Luther supposedly said that the last thing to get converted in a man was his wallet.
So will you choose the little of the righteous over the wealth of many wicked? Hmmm! Tough question in a pinch. So let's make that decision now before the circumstances change. God, his Kingdom, his will, and his righteousness come first, right?
Prayer
Lord, deliver me from sexual immorality. Help me to avoid this sinful state. Remind me that You created sexual pleasure and our desire for fulfilment in that area, but that it should only be enjoyed by those living in the covenant relationship You called marriage. And help me to honor Your pattern for marriage since the beginning of creation: a man and a woman. Lord, we all have sexual desires we should not fulfil; some of us have homosexual desires we shouldn’t fulfil, while others have heterosexual ones they shouldn’t fulfil. Help me deny myself, take up my cross, and follow You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
