    Daily Bread – June 2, 2023 (The Sixth Day – Genesis 1:24-31) Philemon 1:6 – So that the communication of your faith may be effectual by acknowledging every good thing in you by Christ Jesus. The Good Things That Are In Us In Christ Jesus Paul equates the miracles of faith working through our lives with first acknowledging, and then communicating that “good thing” that is in us. The most important good “good thing” that we must acknowledge in us is Christ Jesus, Who is our confidence of glory (John 14:20,23; Colossians 1:27, 3:16; 2 Corinthians 11:10; 1 John 4:4; Galatians 2:20). Then, we need to acknowledge the Spirit of God in His fullness as we are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:17, 6:19); the new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:15; Ephesians 4:24; Colossians 3:10); a heart made pure (Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 1:22; Hebrews 10:22; Matthew 5:8); our purified soul (1 Peter 1:22; 1 Thessalonians 5:23); our sins removed (Acts 22:16, 2:38, 10:43; Colossians 2:12; Romans 6:6, 3:25; and 1 John 1:9; Revelation 1:5; Matthew 26:28); that we are baptized in the Holy Spirit and fire (Matthew 3:11; Mark 1:8; Acts 1:5, 2:38, 11:16); and we have a good and pure conscience (1 Timothy 1:5, 3:9; 2 Timothy 1:3; Hebrews 9:14, 10:2,22; 1 Peter 3:16).
