His Story Can Be Your Story

Your journey is a part of God’s story!  Your current circumstances are part of your redemption story He is writing.  Evinda Lepins, writer

Our great adventure has just begun. Remember not to think of the Bible as disconnected individual stories, but as one great story, God’s story of love, rescue and redemption. Sin does not have the final say; Christ has won!

The exciting part is that He is not done yet. As Christ-followers, everything that we experience in our lifelong journey will be a part of God’s story. Andy Stanley says it best, “God brings you into His family, making His...
story your story.”

God’s story for the Christian is one that shows how this world is fallen and there are things that need to be fixed, but God is all-powerful and is the only One who can make things right and can use us, His “change agents”.

So, we invite everyone to the table, no matter their race, religious background or where they are from. God wants every single person to take this journey where we come to have a relationship with Him through His son, Jesus Christ. Once we begin our walk with Jesus, our story is in God’s book. We find hope, joy and peace even in the sad, heart-wrenching parts of the story. There is a peace on our voyage because we know that the Holy Spirit is with us every step of the way.

READ, THINK and LIVE… Read and apply the Bible.

Paul was explaining the differences in those who believe and those who do not. He explains that the sin in our lives can be cut off with Christ, and uses the following analogy to illustrate his point.

Question: What does Paul compare the Word of God to? How does His Word handle our sinful nature?

Answer:

PRAY… God, what do you want me to know and do?

Try this prayer: Thank you, Lord for this journey called life. I ask that You reveal Your Word to me so that I can see the seamless story of Your love and redemption, and to help reveal anything in my life that needs to be changed.
