There are people who think if their good works outweigh their bad works, then God would accept them. But it’s not about good works and bad works; it’s about your nature. Galatians 6:15 says, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.”

PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. I affirm that I’m born again, a new creature in Christ Jesus. I walk in the reality of the divine life and function in your kingdom of light, righteousness and glory. Thank you for making me one with you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
