“In a word, what I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.” ~ Matthew 5:48 (MSG)
KEY IDEA:
Our God-created identity revolves around living out his righteousness.PRAYER:
God of perfection, thank you for your Son who entered into the sinful imperfection of this world. I am sorry for the ways I have rebelled against you. I have no rightful claim to your righteousness. Forgive me, Lord. Perfect me by your grace. Help me love righteousness and live righteously, that others might come to know the Father. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministries edition)
