And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Heavenly Father I am so grateful for Your consistency in Your holy word, the Bible. More and more I see the twistedness of the world, the cunning lies and enticements that lead to sin and death. I thank You for the promise that when we have been united together in the likeness of Your Son Jesus' death we certainly shall be in the likeness of His resurrection. I thank You that by Your Spirit I can live a new kind of life not being a slave to sin. I thank You that I am not the person I was before my conversion, but a new creation in Christ Jesus. I thank You for the abolishing of my sin nature, and the blessings of godly desires and aspirations. Thank You Jesus for dying for my sins, justifying me to no longer have an obligation to sin. I thank You that the result of being born again is the ability to serve in the newness of life. Father, I pray for myself and all my brothers and sisters in Christ to remain steadfast, faithfully fighting the good fight of faith, bearing witness of our confession in the presence of many observers. I pray we will bear much fruit of Your Spirit in love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. You have said the greatest of these is love, so may the world around us know we are Christians by this truth. I love You Lord and desire that all I do and say bring glory and honor to You for You are worthy. Amen.
