“Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace” (Galatians 5:4). The Mosaic Law was all about self-effort; attempting to justify ourselves by the law moves us away from the grace that empowers us. Staying rooted in what Christ has done allows His grace, not our works, to define our standing with God.

“For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect” (Romans 4:14). If we try to earn what God has promised by relying on the law, we cancel out the role of faith and empty the promise of its power. We receive what God provides by believing, not by striving, so that His promise remains effective in our lives.

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17). God reveals His righteousness to us through faith, not through our performance or self-effort. When we live every day trusting what He has already accomplished, our faith becomes the channel through which His righteousness operates in our lives.

“And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them” (Galatians 3:12). The old covenant of the Mosaic Law operated on the basis of human effort; by comparison, faith under the new covenant of grace depends entirely on trusting God. No matter how good our intentions are or how hard we try, we can never earn true spiritual life through performance; it’s received by relying on God’s grace.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world” (1 John 2:15, 16). Our affections shape our spiritual direction; whatever captures our love ultimately forms our values. Worldly desires are subtle distractions that can quietly pull the heart away from deeper communion with God.

“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13). Genuine confidence doesn’t come from human qualifications but from spending time in Jesus’ presence. A personal relationship Him gives us boldness that others don’t have.
- April 27
“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7). Answered prayer flows from abiding in Jesus and allowing what He says to shape our thoughts, desires, and expectations. Planting God’s Word in our hearts and letting it take root redirects our asking with His will.
- April 26
“Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires” (Psalm 37:4, NLT). As we delight in God by drawing close to Him and valuing His presence, He reshapes our desires so that what we long for aligns with His will. Pursuing God positions us to receive from Him; He has promised that those who seek Him will find Him.
- April 25
“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him (Philippians 2:13, NLT). Real change comes from God working within us—He supplies both the desire and the ability to do what He asks of us that we’re never left to struggle in our own strength. The Holy Spirit performs this transformation, empowering us to live out God’s will effortlessly.
- April 24
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). God saw fit to make us His children, even though the fullness of who we’re in the process of becoming in Christ hasn’t yet been completely revealed. We’ll eventually see Jesus clearly and face-to-face, free from the veil of condemnation and everything worldly.

“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:16, NIV).
Religion tells us to be meek and timid in God’s presence, but the Scriptures tell us the exact opposite. Believers have been made righteous and holy through Jesus; because we’re the righteousness of God, we have a level of confidence the world doesn’t have.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” (James 1:22).
What we speak certainly is important, but our actions show the world whether or not we really believe what we say. Those professing to be Christians must be careful that their behavior demonstrates their belief and reflects God’s teachings.

“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers” (Ephesians 4:29).
Words are powerful; as believers, we must realize the authority of what we say. We can bring good or evil to pass, depending on what comes out of our mouth. Our words should therefore line up with God’s Word.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” (Ephesians 5:1, 2).
If we’re to demonstrate God’s love to the world in the same manner as Jesus did, we must be willing to take action and let God order our steps in our Christian walk. Following God goes beyond simply trusting what we think intellectually or feel emotionally is right; it involves studying His Word and letting the Holy Spirit reveal the way we should go.

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2:13, NKJV).
In the Old Testament, the people were far from God; even touching the mountain where He lived meant certain death. Now, we can confidently come into His presence because of the blood Jesus shed on the cross.

“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing” (1 Peter 3:8, 9, NIV).
Letting the Holy Spirit guide our every thought unites us, according to the will of God. His plan is for us to act toward others as Jesus did toward those He came in contact with during His earthly ministry. Behaving like this supernaturally opens the door to God’s blessings in our lives.

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).
True joy—the kind that’s so deep, so high, so wide, and so all-encompassing that it permeates our very being—comes from God. When we reach that point on our Christian walk where we feel it resonate through us, we’ll know it comes directly from Him. His plan is for us to be happy and glad-hearted in Him.
August 28
“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, rejoice” (Philippians 4:4).
When we think about all the good things God has done for us and all the miracles He continues to work in our lives, we can’t help but rejoice and give thanks for His mercy and love. Having glad and thankful hearts is one indication that we’re beginning to exhibit the spiritual fruit that God wants for us.
August 27
“It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30, NIV).
All good gifts come from God, including grace, who came to us in the form of Jesus Christ. When we’re in relationship with Christ, we receive the same qualities as He has. This includes His wisdom, righteousness, holiness, and right-standing with God.
