Light for My Path Daily Devotion
Bible Reading
At one time, you were alienated from God and hostile in your thinking as expressed through your evil deeds. But now Christ reconciled you in his body of flesh through death, in order to present you holy, blameless, and faultless before him—if you continue steadfast and firm in faith, without being moved away from the hope of the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven. (Colossians 1:21-23 EHV)
Hymn ELH 233:1,6 The Gospel Shows the Father’s Grace
The Gospel shows the Father’s grace,
Who sent His Son to save our race,
Proclaims how Jesus lived and died
That we might thus be justified.
May we in faith its tidings learn
Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn;
May we in faith its truth confess
And praise the Lord our Righteousness!
Prayer
Jesus, my Savior, through Your death on the cross, You paid for my sins and now present me in Your righteousness. Keep me from shifting from the hope You have brought to me and all believers through Your Gospel. Amen.
