Unshakable: Real Life - Day 4

Reading: 1 Peter 2:24; John 8:34-36; Romans 6:6-7

Devotional:
It is a breathtaking truth that a tree was the site of humanity's greatest failure, and a tree was the site of humanity's greatest rescue. On the cross, Jesus bore every sin, every shame, every pattern of destruction that had ever enslaved a human soul. He did not just die for your sins -- He lived without sin so that His righteousness could be credited to you. John 8:36 promises that if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. That freedom is not theoretical. It is available right now. You are not defined by your worst moment. You are defined by what Jesus declared over you.

Reflection Questions:

• Are you living as someone who has been set free, or are you still identifying more with your sin than with your Savior?
• What would change in your daily life if you fully believed you were no longer a slave to sin?

Practical Application: Find a mirror today and speak your identity in Christ over yourself. You are forgiven. You are free. You are a son or daughter of God. Speak it until you begin to believe it more than you believe the enemy's accusations.
