Steps on Your Journey to Discover How God Sees You:

• The Message paraphrases verse 24: “Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.”
• What a gift God has given us! Think about it.
• What do the following verses say about those who are made right with God, the righteous?
• Matthew 13:43 (NIV): “The righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.”
• James 5:16 (NIV): “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
• Romans 4:4–5 (MSG): “If you’re a hard worker and do a good job, you deserve your pay; we don’t call your wages a gift. But if you see that the job is too big for you, that it’s something only God can do, and you trust him to do it—you could never do it for yourself no matter how hard and long you worked—well, that trusting-him-to-do-it is what gets you set right with God, by God. Sheer gift.”
• Romans 5:1 (NLT): “Since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.”
• Think about this. God made you right with Him. All you had to do was put your faith in Jesus Christ. Have you done that? If not, what is holding you back? God longs for you to have a relationship with Him. If you are not sure, go to the back of this book to learn more.
• Do you see yourself as one who has been made right with God? Why or why not?

A Prayer for You:

Dear God, thank You for making me right with You when I placed my faith in You. Thank You that You said “the prayer of the righteous person is powerful and effective.” Since I am righteous, because I trust in Jesus, I’m believing that my prayers are powerful and effective.
