Daily Verse
February 16
Jesus delivers us from the power of self.
Galatians 1:4 'Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world,'
Jesus takes away the fear of condemnation we justly deserve;
and puts in us the peace of justification by faith in Christ alone.
He sets us free from the hypocrisy of self-righteous religion,
and leads us into the freedom of new life in Christ.
He brings us out from the bondage of fleshly works;
and lets the fruit of His Spirit produce the character of Jesus in us.
He lifts us from being enemies of God;
to place us in the royal household
so we approach God as our Abba Father.
He removes a heart that gratifies itself;
and He puts in us a heart that loves with His love.
