“His Truth Defines You”
Beloved, the Good News of what Jesus did for us is not about how we feel; it’s about what’s true. Feelings change with the moment, but truth stands through eternity. Some days your emotions may whisper doubt, but God’s Word shouts victory. Our faith is not anchored in emotion—it’s anchored in the finished work of Christ.
In the Old Testament, the prophet Isaiah foretold this truth when he wrote in Isaiah 43:18–19: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” Isaiah’s words remind us that God specializes in transformation. He doesn’t just improve what was—He makes something entirely new.
And in the New Testament, the apostle Paul declares in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” The truth of the Gospel isn’t dependent on how we feel about ourselves or our past—it’s secured in what Christ accomplished on the cross. When God declares that the old has passed and the new has come, that declaration is final.
So Beloved, even when your feelings falter, the truth remains firm. You are forgiven, redeemed, and made new. Jesus didn’t die to make you feel better—He died to make you brand new. Don’t let your emotions dictate your identity; let His truth define it.
Pray with me:
Father God, thank You that my faith is grounded in truth, not in my emotions. When doubt creeps in, remind me of who I am in Christ—a new creation, redeemed and restored. Help me to live daily in the freedom of Your finished work. In Jesus’ name, we pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen and Amen!
