Day 7

Scripture to Read: Romans 5:11

God’s Word has been so encouraging this week. God has reminded us of His precious love for us and how He proved His love through our Lord Jesus Christ. We end with what God shares with us in Romans 5:11, “Not only that, but we also rejoice in God [rejoicing in His love and perfection] through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received and enjoy our reconciliation [with God].” We end our devotions this week with rejoicing because we have much to rejoice in through our Lord Jesus Christ. We should rejoice daily in God’s love and perfection, for without His love and His perfect sacrifice through Christ, we would all be headed to hell. We should rejoice daily that we have been reconciled to God the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ. That is why God said this through Paul in Colossians 1:13–14: “For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom (Luke 23:44–46). The veil being torn in two is significant because it symbolizes that God opened up His Holy of Holies to everyone. Therefore, all who come to God the Father, through Christ, are counted worthy to be in His presence and can fellowship with Him. So, be sure and start rejoicing because God the Father has given us His all through Christ our Lord.
