Reflection
A believer’s new life begins with a shift of attitude and mindset from self to the Spirit. It is a divine exchange of identity from slavery to Sonship.
By grace through faith in Christ’s redemption and resurrection, God has given us the Spirit of adoption as sons and daughters, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”. We are no longer slaves to fear but empowered by the Spirit to live with power, love and self-control.
To walk in freedom and maturity is to heed the Holy Spirit’s still, small voice nudging our conscience. It is to sift our thoughts and actions through scriptures, allowing Him to sanctify us. As we stand on God’s truth, we can reject fear and temptation, and be set free from idols and the desires of the flesh.
Prayer
Abba Father, thank You for the power of Your love, that we can overcome and have victory through Your Spirit’s continuous renewal within us to help us live out the mind of Christ every day. We choose to honor You, to proclaim "Yet not I, but through Christ in me!" In Jesus’ name, Amen.
