Daily Bread – August 24, 2022 (The Fourth Day – Genesis 1:14-19) Romans 6:6 – Knowing this, that our old man was crucified together with Him, so that the body of sin may be abolished, that we should no longer serve sin. The Miracle of a Changed Life Salvation is Jesus formed in you (Colossians 1:28, 2:9-15; 2 Corinthians 13:5; 1 John 3:24, 4:4). The life and presence of the Holy Spirit is now living and abiding in every dimension of our lives. The salvation in Jesus Christ is all about change! We are changed by the Holy Spirit and by the Word of God (John 3:3-5; 1 Peter 1:23). You cannot remain what you were before you met Jesus and received the miracle of salvation, and still make it into the Kingdom of God. The change that the miracle of salvation brings must affect every aspect of a person’s life. God was not interested in another religion when He sent the Word, Christ Jesus. He was only interested in uniting the heart of mankind with His own. All that matters to God is that we have a nature change. When we call on the Name of Jesus, we are washed in the blood, washed with the waters of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Ghost, and given a divine nature all by the miracle of the new birth (Revelation 1:5; Titus 3:4-7; 2 Peter 1:3-4). Through this unification with God, the Holy Spirit will teach and train us each day to walk in the purity and holiness of the divine nature – all we must do is be willing to follow and learn!
