Scripture Declarations

Open Up the Gift of Salvation

April 2020

Do you know what belongs to you?

It's the season of Easter right now, but let's take a minute and rewind to last Christmas. Chances are, you received a present. Is that gift still sitting unopened somewhere in your house? Is it in the corner, all wrapped up and gathering dust?

Hopefully not! When someone hands you a gift, of course, you want to tear it open and see what's inside. You'd want to thank the giver and go on to use that gift—whether it's a pair of socks or a fancy new blender.

What about presents that have multiple items inside? You pull out those Christmas socks, but underneath is the new blender and a chocolate bar and a sweater... and maybe even a card with a kind note inside. It's a gift that keeps on giving! But if all you did was take the socks and leave the rest inside the box... you'd be missing out on some great things.

A lot of us approach salvation like that. We can all agree that Jesus gives us the gift of eternity in Heaven. But sometimes we miss everything else salvation includes.

When you gave your life to Jesus, you became part of His family. As a member of the family, you're entitled to all the benefits of being God's child! You get supernatural health, perfect peace, wisdom for every area and all the blessings of God. In fact, Jesus said in John 10:10 that He came to give us abundant life!

So if all you're enjoying is the new pair of socks... hang on! It's time to dive into God's Word and discover everything that Jesus died to give you.

As you plant the Word in your heart, your imagination goes to work. You start to picture yourself joyful, healthy, forgiven and blessed in everything you do. You begin to expect the miraculous to take place.

When storms rise up, you can hold your head high. You can go to verses like 2 Corinthians 1:20 and say, "The answer to every promise is 'yes and amen!' because of what Jesus did for me. I receive healing, peace, provision and joy in Jesus' name."

If you're struggling with thoughts that condemn you for your mistakes, you can go to 1 John 4:10 and declare, "Jesus loves me so much that He died on the cross to remove all my sins. There is no more punishment for because Jesus paid the price!"

To help you declare who you are in Christ, this month's Walk in the Word collection has eight beautiful verses on salvation. Each one is personalized so that you can declare it out loud and start establishing your heart in grace!
