For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. —Romans 5:17
Do you seek spiritual renewal? Do you desire divine satisfaction beyond your greatest imaginations? Then focus on two things: First, focus on the intimate knowledge of God’s beauty, or what God looks like (in terms of knowing His personality). Second, focus on the knowledge of what it means to be created in His image—in other words, what we look like to God in Christ. These two arenas of truth will invigorate your heart like nothing else. The truth of our beauty being imparted to us by the beautiful God is a subject that will fascinate and exhilarate our hearts throughout all eternity. Imagine, the beauty Jesus possesses is the very beauty that He imparts to His bride in the gift of righteousness.
{ PRAYER STARTER }
I desire to be renewed in You, dear Father. I long to be re-created in Your image. Prepare me to be Your bride, adorned by Your righteousness.
A deeply satisfied soul, a personal sense of meaning and significance,
and a rich treasure store of divine pleasure can only
come through the intimate knowledge of God Himself.
