THE LIVING WATER (January-December, 2024)

DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE

MEMORISE

DATE Tuesday, May 28, 2024

TOPIC: THE REDEEMED!

In him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14).

READ: 1 Corinthians 6:9-20

[9]. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

[10]. nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

[11]. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

[12]. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

[13]. Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

[14]. And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.

[15]. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

[16]. Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”

[17]. But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

[18]. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

[19]. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

[20]. For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

EXPOSITION

What a joy to be saved from great accidents that have claimed the lives of many! What great testimonies to be delivered from terrible sicknesses that have sent many to their grave! Yes, of course, who will not rejoice in these blessings? No one. To be saved from all these natural, or spiritual issues is good.

However, what is the value of being saved from all these but not saved from sins that irreversibly send people to hell? Heaven is eternal, and so is hell. Both the Kingdom of God and hellfire are irreversible destinations. Once you enter the Kingdom of God, there is no possibility of leaving its eternal embrace. The same unyielding permanence applies to the tormenting flames of hell. God wants us to be saved through the power of Jesus’ blood.

Are you overpowered by strange men/women in your office, or on campus? Are you under the guilt of any sin you have committed in the past, or recently? Come to Jesus Christ as you go on your knees and confess them. _He who covers his sins shall not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will have mercy_ (Prov. 28:13). _…and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin…. If we confess our sins. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness_ (1 Jn. 1: 7-9). Then, you become the redeemed of the Lord.

1. I know there is pow’r in Jesus’ blood

For He wash’d my sins away;

And I know there is joy in serving Him

For He turned my night to day.

There is power, power, purifying power,

There is pow’r in Jesus blood.

From my guilt He set me free;

When I came unto Him with all my sins

And His blood availed for me.

For all things have been made new;

Since His own precious blood has been applied

And has cleansed me through and through
