Advent Devotion.12/20/07: Restoring My Spirit
December 20th, 2007 · Posted in Advent Devotions ·Today’s Advent Devotion from the Goshen College devotional site is based on Romans 1:1-7 and entitled Restoring My Spirit.
Here’s a portion of it:
In Paul’s letter to the Roman church, he calls for another kind of restoration, a regeneration through “obedience of faith,” an attitude that Paul describes as one completely devoted and willing to serve. God restores us by erasing our past errors and restoring us to wholeness. In turn, it is our responsibility to become living examples through our actions as well as words. Like it or not, Christians are called to be “set apart.” We must deliberately turn away from conflicting interests and strive to emulate the ministry of love and restoration the Jesus demonstrated throughout his life.
God can indeed restore us!
