Forgiveness
of our sins is a great blessing of grace won by the sacrifice of Jesus. This
blessing is for all who confess Jesus as Lord and Christ, trust his sacrifice
to cleanse them from their sins, and are baptized into his name. But there is
another gift that is just as precious: God's holy presence placed within each
of these cleansed, redeemed, and newly adopted children of God. This presence,
this gift, is the promised Holy Spirit.
God's Holy Fire
“And Peter said to [the crowd on Pentecost], ‘Repent
and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For
the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone
whom the Lord our God calls to himself.’" — Acts 2:38-39 ESV
A promised gift of
the new movement of God prophesied in Scripture is the Holy Spirit.
We often focus on
the forgiveness of our sins, and clearly, this forgiveness is a great blessing
of grace won by the sacrifice of Jesus.
This blessing is
for all who confess Jesus as Lord and Christ, trust his sacrifice to cleanse
them from their sins, and are baptized into his name.
But there is
another gift that is just as precious: God's holy presence placed within each
of these cleansed, redeemed, and newly adopted children of God.
This presence, this
gift, is the promised Holy Spirit.
We must never,
ever, underestimate this gift that Jesus has poured out on us and placed within
us (Titus
3:3-5).
Today's Prayer
O Father, I recognize the very many great
gifts that you have poured into my life.
Today, however, I am overwhelmed by your
grace and mercy.
You sent and sacrificed Jesus for my sin.
You raised Jesus up and conquered the power of death.
And now, Jesus has sent the Holy Spirit to
cleanse me, indwell me, empower me, transform me, and ultimately bring me to
you.
Thank you!
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
