If we had the abilities to be perfect on our own, then God wouldn't have needed to send His Son to die for our sins, but we are not and cannot be perfect without Jesus' redeeming sacrifice. Sometimes others in our lives do not understand that being Christian does not mean we live perfect lives. As we struggle and sometimes stumble, others will see our failures, but we need to be sure they also see the redemptive power of Jesus' death and resurrection. Through sharing our Salvation, we can be the example that helps others find redemption!
You are not perfect, but you can be the perfect example of God's redemptive power!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and redeeming me through Your Son. Help my life to be an example of Your transforming mercy and power. Through Jesus, my Redeemer, I pray, amen.
