One Mediator from 1 Tim. 2:5

SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 03/07/2002

 

My Worship Time                                                      Focus:  One Mediator

 

Bible Reading & Meditation                                     Reference:  1Timothy 2:5

 

            Message of the verse:  Paul is still talking about prayer and the phrase “all men” is very important to this section.  Believers are encouraged to be praying for the salvation of all men.  How is this salvation possible?  Paul gives part of this answer in this verse number five.  There is one God and one Mediator between God and man, and that is Jesus Christ.  There was not just one Mediator between God and man in the Old Testament, but there is now.  Jesus Christ is the God-man who is this Mediator so there is now a way for man to be saved.

            Spiritual meaning for my life today:  I can have confidence that my prayers for the salvation of others will be heard because of Jesus Christ.

The Word of God was challenging to me today.

 

My Steps of Faith Today:  To continue to seek God’s will for my life, and to remember about the power of prayer.  Prayer is the answer to the problem of fear.

 

Memory verse for the Week:  1John 4:18

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with torment.  But he who fears has not been made patience in love.
