Our God is merciful, gracious, and overflowing with compassion, but make no mistake - His grace and mercy are not cheap. Though freely given, they demand reverence and respect. When the King of Kings invites you into His palace, He says, "Feel at home," but that's not a license to act recklessly. God's royalty demands honour and dignity. He didn't redeem us with His precious blood, freeing us from sin, death, and darkness, only to have us behave carelessly in His presence. That's not why He sent Jesus!

For centuries, humanity has acted recklessly, leading to pain, sorrow, and regret. But Jesus has saved us to live differently - as kings and priests, liberated from the devil's grip. Let's act like the redeemed, reflecting the majesty of our Lord. We are not counterfeits, but authentic children of the Most High. Let's honour our inheritance and conduct ourselves with the excellence and righteousness that our salvation deserves!

CONFESSION

I am the redeemed of the Lord, not in words alone, but in my thoughts, actions, choices, pleasures, and all that concerns me.
