Daily Bread - August 8, 2026 (The Seventh Day - Genesis 2:1-3)
Ephesians 2:7 – So that throughout the ages to come, He might demonstrate the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness towards us by Christ Jesus.
God Has Not Accepted Sin
God has not accepted sin, or sinful humans, but He has made a way for all humankind to be saved from sin and delivered from its power. We have been rescued from the prison of sin, from controlling demonic power, and from the works of a wicked heart. He cleansed our souls with His own soul by pouring out His life’s blood for our redemption (Revelation 1:5; Hebrews 10:22; Matthew 20:28, 26:28; 1 John 2:1-2). He washed our spirits with the waters of regeneration, and made all things new (1 Peter 2:24; Titus 3:4-7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-18; Ezekiel 36:26; Revelation 21:5).
For all the years and ages to come that no one has even yet imagined, the redeemed of the Lord will be a demonstration of the greatness of God’s love and mercy. One might compare our lives now to being in the womb of life, awaiting to be born into the ages God has prepared for us. God calls all men to be saved, and extends His longsuffering, not willing that anyone should perish (1 Timothy 2:4; John 12:32; 2 Peter 3:9). The decision is ours: will we receive such love? Will we enter into this life that has cost God so dearly? Will we participate with His plan and unspeakable gift of salvation? Will we allow the Holy Spirit to teach us to walk in all of His ways and to execute His judgments?
Blessings,
Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
