SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

Scripture: 1Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

Observation: Jesus, who had never sinned, claimed our sins as His own then died to make the required payment. His sacrifice for our sins and our healing is already complete. He died (past tense) that we might live (present tense) for righteousness.

Application: I am not wondering if Jesus will really die for my sins. It is already a completed fact! He did it!!! On the cross, He said, “It is finished!” I live with the knowledge that my sins and my healing have been completely covered.

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for your completed sacrifice on the cross. I live for righteousness and to bring you joy and glory. Amen.

July 23: 2Kings 20; Isaiah 38-39; Psalm 75; 1Peter 2
