Romans 1:2-4. The gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
Are you living in despair, trapped in the cycle of regret over past scars and failures? Do you find yourself enslaved by the patterns and priorities of this world? Are you unable to stop dwelling on your problems, conflicts, and crises?
God did not call you to live like that. You were never meant to live trapped by your past, held captive by your present, or burdened with fear about the future. You are a child of the King. The One who rules heaven and earth watches over you with eyes like blazing fire (Revelation 1:14). He looks upon you not with condemnation but with love, protection, and purpose.
He has promised to pour His Spirit upon you. In Acts 2:17, God says,
“In the last days, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
So stop dwelling on your past mistakes or present limitations. Lift your eyes to where God is taking you. His plan for you is not behind you—it is ahead of you.
Are you still entangled in the failures of yesterday? Then go back to Calvary. Meet Jesus at the cross and the empty tomb. He is the One who loved you, who died for you, and who rose again for you. He is the One who shattered the curse of sin and set you free.
At Calvary, Jesus endured unspeakable suffering to break the power of the devil over you. The enemy no longer has the authority to control you. By the death and resurrection of Christ, the power of sin, death, hell, and Satan has been broken:
“His incomparably great power for us who believe is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 1:19-20)
Are you tired of being disappointed with yourself? Are you discouraged by repeated failures? Do you find yourself complaining about everything or blaming others for your problems? Remember, God has canceled all the charges against you. He remembers them no more. Because of what Jesus has done on the cross, you have been justified. You are seen by God as holy and blameless.
Never forget who you are in Christ and who you are becoming. You are not defined by your past mistakes, present struggles, or future uncertainties. You are defined by the promise of God, who is at work in you even now: “By the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, He will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body.” (Philippians 3:21).
Are you still searching for answers to your problems? Scripture shows us that all problems began with unbelief in Genesis 3:1-6. Unbelief is not just costly—it is deadly. It separates us from God, brings spiritual death, enslaves us under Satan’s dominion, and ultimately cost the life of the Son of God to restore us to Him.
So stop searching elsewhere. Jesus is the Christ. He is the solution to all your problems. Trust in the One who is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). The resurrected Christ lives in you. He is leading you to the ends of the earth to testify to the gospel. And when the gospel is proclaimed to all nations, He will return, just as He promised.
So leave your present reality for a moment. Approach the throne of God boldly in prayer. “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).
Prayer. Father, I thank You for the cross that brought me back to You. Help me overcome my unbelief. Help me realize and experience the reality of the resurrected Christ living in me. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
