For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: — Romans 8:3

Jesus did what we couldn’t do: He lived a perfect life before God. He showed that sin isn’t something we have to do and that it doesn’t have to keep us in chains. He gave us his Spirit so that we could not only share in his forgiveness and cleansing grace, but also have the power to live in a way that pleases God. Jesus is the one who pays for our sins and saves us.

Prayer

Father, thank you for making the sacrifice for my sin. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for being willing to pay such a terrible price to save me from that sin. Holy Spirit, thank you for living in me and giving me the power to live for God. Thank you, God, for saving us. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
