Daily D – Galatians 3:26-28

Galatians 3:26-28 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. (NLT)

Popular television shows and movies like to talk about God and spiritual matters in vague generalities. Depictions of spiritual matters are either dumbed down to the point that anything goes, or religious people are portrayed as overzealous caricatures bent on legalistic righteousness. This is in sharp contrast to biblical faith.

Children of God are those who have a real and loving relationship with Jesus. He is the one and only way. (See John 14:6.)

When people choose to receive his gift of forgiveness for their sins and the promise of eternal life, they put on a new way of living shaped by grace. We become like Jesus. He lives in us and through us. A good question we seek to answer is What Would Jesus Do?

A better question is What would Jesus do if he were me? What if he lived where I live and had my family, my job, and my recreation? How would Jesus navigate the relationships and family matters that I deal with day by day? How would he do my job? How would he conduct himself in leisure activities? What would his vocabulary include and exclude?

What makes Jesus laugh? What grieves his heart?

These are good questions worth considering. The answers go a long way toward teaching us how to live with ourselves and others. They direct, and redirect, the choices we make and the habits of mind and behavior we cultivate.

I will pursue a deeper understanding of what it means to be a child of God.

Our Father, deliver us from the vague generalities and crass caricatures of media religion. Empower us instead with true faith that makes us more like Jesus. Build grace and kindness into our lives. Use us to build up others. Deliver us from belligerence. Amen.

Jeremiah 29:7, 11, 13 “Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

Daily D – Jeremiah 24:4-7

Jeremiah 24:4-7 Then the word of the LORD came to me: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent away from this place to the land of the Babylonians. My eyes will watch over them for their good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them. I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.”

Daily D – Jeremiah 18:1-6

Jeremiah 18:1-6 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.

Then the word of the LORD came to me. He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the LORD. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel.”

Daily D – Jeremiah 17:7-8

Jeremiah 17:7, 8
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”
