VERSE:
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by
the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness
of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in
sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law
might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful
nature but according to the Spirit.
-- Romans 8:3-4

THOUGHT:
God gives us two gifts that fulfill the Law's righteous demands,
but which the Law itself could never give us. First, he gives us
the perfect sin offering -- his Son Jesus -- to forgive, cleanse,
and redeem us from our sin. Second, he gives us his Spirit to
empower us to be what he wants us to be. God gives us in the New
Covenant what the Law and the Prophets promised was coming. Praise
God for his plan, his promises, and his gifts!
PRAYER:
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for your incomparable kindness and
grace in giving me your great and perfect gifts of your precious
and perfect Son and the blessed Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, and by
the intercession of the Holy Spirit, I praise and thank you dear
Father. Amen.
