Theme: Keeping Him at the Center
John 3:3 "Unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God."
Reflection:
As we begin to follow God closely, He gives us the gracious gift of salvation. We experience a change in heart, striving to please God rather than the world. This includes a change in values, character traits, desires, and intentions. Our salvation can only occur when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and intimately pursue Him.
When tempted, we may wonder if we have truly been saved or not. However, salvation is not based on our own feelings, but on the work that God has done within us. God uses His power to renew us with our identity rooted in Him. The gift of being reborn is required to truly see the wonders of our God. The change in heart posture we experience allows us to become closer with the Lord, devoting each day to glorifying His name.
Questions to Consider:
How has your life changed since you began following God? What is the Holy Spirit telling you through this devotional?
Application:

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the perfect gift of salvation that brings us closer to You. Lord, we are so grateful to belong to a loving God that yearns for a relationship with us. We pray that as this week continues, the Holy Spirit moves through us, encouraging us to spread Your word. We ask for courage as we share our testimonies to others despite how qualified we feel. Remind us that our salvation and the work You have done within us is our credential. All of this is in Your holy name, Amen.
