Day 2 | Pink Slip of Eternity

Command:

Read:

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:8-11 (NIV)

Reflect:

Do you remember that feeling of making that last payment on a major purchase whether it was paying off your credit card debt or for the lucky few making that last mortgage payment? When my husband and I received the pink slip to our paid off vehicle it was like a weight was lifted off our shoulders and we gained back some freedom from the car debt that tied us down for several years. 

Imagine multiplying that sense of freedom by eternity. Jesus came to pay a debt that we had. The debt of sin. He paid for it with the price of his life on the cross. We don’t need to keep making payments to a debt that has been wiped clear. Instead, we can live in freedom with the pink slip of eternity in our hands!!

React:

Dying with Christ means we let go of the payments of sin. Jesus paid it off for us. Have you died with Christ so you can live in freedom?

Pray:

Jesus, you paid off my debt. I let go of that debt of sin, and choose to be ALIVE in you!
