Day 4: Living in the Joy of Our Atonement
The result of Christ’s work is not merely forgiveness, but profound joy. The atonement—the act of being made at one with God—is a completed reality for those who believe. This truth is not meant to be a theological concept we acknowledge, but a source of deep, abiding joy that sustains us through every season of life. We can rejoice in God Himself, through our Lord Jesus Christ, because the work of salvation is fully accomplished.
More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Romans 5:11 (ESV)
Reflection: What would it look like for you to move from simply knowing about your reconciliation to actively rejoicing in it throughout your day today?
