Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
El Viejo Testamento mira adelante a tiempos nuevos, un tiempo cuando la ley no forma la base de la justicia. La Ley y Los Profetas testifican a este acontecimiento. Esta justicia proviene de Dios y se basa en la obra sacrificial de Jesús quien nos libra de la ley y nos lleva a la gracia de Dios. El asunto importante para nosotros es confiar. Muchos hoy confunden el creer con el acto de solo pensar mientras la Biblia presenta algo que involucra a nuestros corazones y comportamiento. Cuál es, entonces, el fundamento sobre el cual estas construyendo tu vida hoy? Cómo mides tu justicia? A qúe esta atada tu seguridad? Gracias a Dios que podemos confiar nuestras vidas, futuros y salvación a Jesucristo y no a nuestra abilidad de cumplir con ley.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The Old Testament — the Tanakh — looks forward to a new time when law is not the basis of righteousness. The Law and Prophets testify to this time. This righteousness comes from God, which God gave us based on the sacrificial work of Jesus, who liberated us from law and brought us God's grace. The real issue for us is genuine trust — many today confuse believing with simply thinking something in our heads. However, the Bible defines belief as something that involves our heart's faith in Jesus, demonstrated by our obedient behavior to the Lord Jesus' example and teachings (Matthew 7:13-27). So, what is the basis on which you are building your life today? What is the measure of your righteousness? On what is your security tied? Thank God we can trust our life, future, and salvation to Jesus Christ and not law-keeping. As the apostle Paul said:
God made [Christ Jesus] who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Mi oración
Padre Precioso, te agradezco tanto por proveerme con un Salvador en Jesús. Gracias por considerarme justo por el sacrificio de su Hijo. Ayúdame mientras entrego mi vida y salvación a Jesús para que su vida y caracter puedan llegar a demonstrarse en mi manera de vivir. En el nombre santo de Jesús oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Precious Father, thank you so much for providing me with a Savior in Jesus. Thank you for declaring me righteous through his sacrifice on the cross and my faith in him. Please help me as I entrust my life and salvation to Jesus so that I can exemplify his life and character by how I live. In Jesus' holy name, I pray. Amen.
