Daily Bread - July 9, 2026 (The Fifth Day - Genesis 1:20-23)
1 Peter 2:24 - Who Himself carried our sins in His Own body upon the tree, so that being dead to sins, we might live righteously, “by Whose wound you were healed.”
Two Cannot Walk Together Unless They Agree
The Bible is focused on God’s desire to walk with mankind. The only way possible for person to walk with God is in righteousness, for two cannot walk together unless they agree. Father will not have any fellowship with unrighteousness, and therefore, God has made a provision for whosoever will to be made righteous. John said in his first Epistle, “If you know that He is righteous you know that everyone that is born of Him does righteousness” (1 John 2:28). Paul said that Jesus, “Who knew no sin was made a sin offering for us so that we might be the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
The crown and glory of righteousness was lost when Adam turned his back on God through disobedience. Now through Father’s love, the crown and glory of righteousness has been restored through the new creation. Jesus laid down His life at the cross so that we might take it up. He gave us His life of righteousness and holiness as a gift when were we created in Him through His resurrection (Ephesians 4:24; Romans 6:4; 1 Peter 1:3).
