We thank You, Lord, that Jesus is our Saviour
– ‘Lord, You establish peace for us’; ‘We have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ’. We cannot save ourselves. We can only look away
from ourselves to Jesus – and be saved by Him: ‘all that we have
accomplished You have done for us’; ‘By grace you have been saved
through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God’
(Isaiah 26:12; Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8). We thank You that Jesus is
our Lord – ‘Lord, our
God… You alone are our Lord’. How are we to live once we have received
salvation through faith in Jesus Christ? – ‘Just as you received Christ
Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him’. Help us not to ‘keep on sinning
so that You, Lord, can keep on showing us more and more kindness and
forgiveness.’ Help us to live a life of ‘good works’ (Isaiah 26:13;
Colossians 2:6; Romans 6:1; Ephesians 2:10).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
