Day 16: Vindicated

“Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins.  Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do. Acts 13:38-39

SCRIPTURE:"Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do."

OBSERVATION: Following laws and rules (and breaking them) don't give us a righteous relationship with God or a ticket into heaven. But just through our belief in and relationship with Jesus we get to be on first name terms with God, as well as a one-way golden ticket through the Pearly gates.

APPLICATION: As far as what we can "do" (the law of Moses), that won't get us anywhere so our focus shouldn't be there. But believing in Jesus and getting to know Him does it all. I need to focus more on the time I spend with Jesus getting to know Him.

PRAYER: Jesus,

Please help me to be more diligent in setting up regular "coffee dates" with you. 

You are the most incredible person I know, so I should be searching for time to spend with you!

Amen.
