Ephesians 2; Matthew 10; Hebrews 4; Galatians 2

Lord Jesus, by your grace through faith in you, I have been born from above. Now I belong to you, and I do not fear what man can do. Now I fear and hallow God, our Heavenly Father, for he is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

I am your disciple, and I pray and study to be like you. Your spirit fills me, and it is God, the Spirit, who speaks in me. Thank you for perfect communion.

I confess you before people, Lord Jesus, and you confess me before God, our father. I understand that you and your word does not bring peace to this world, rather it is like a sword; living and powerful and sharp. It pierces even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow. Your word shows me the thoughts and intents of my heart. Nothing is hidden from your sight, Lord. Your eyes are on me, and I must give an account, and I do.

My account is, I belong to Jesus. It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me, and this life that I now live, I live by the faith of the Lord Jesus, the Christ, who loves me, and who gave himself for me.
