Easter Devotional Three

DAY THREE

Because of my death - He died. Because He’s alive - I live.

Daily Introduction:

Each day, begin by slowly declaring the truth below aloud. Let the words shape your heart before you move on. Sit with the statement and carry it as your declaration for the day. Then prayerfully read the Scripture passage. Read it more than once. Notice a word or phrase that stands out and linger there with the Lord. Finally, respond to Him through the reflection questions. Journal your honest responses. Invite the Holy Spirit to speak His heart and reveal where this truth meets your real life today.

Truth:

He took my punishment and gave me His future. I am adopted.

Verse:

Galatians 4:4-7

“But when the right time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent Him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that He could adopt us as His very own children. And because we are His children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, 'Abba, Father.' Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are His child, God has made you His heir.”

Reflection:

Do I approach God more like a slave trying to earn approval or a child who already belongs?

What fears about my future does adoption into God’s family speak directly to?

What would it look like to cry “Abba, Father” in an area where I usually feel alone?
