Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we'll be looking at scriptures on the Holy Spirit and what it means to live devoted and holy. Alongside these passages we'll be reading through Psalm 119 and some of the following Psalms each day. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

The Holy Spirit

  • The third person of the Trinity. So the Holy Spirit is God.
  • He is the Spirit of holiness, of truth, of faith, the Counsellor who will always be with us as believers.
  • The Holy Spirit is God’s great gift to those for whom Jesus Christ is Saviour and Lord.
  • Because He lives in them, the bodies of believers have become temples of the Holy Spirit.
  • As God lives in the believer, he or she is to trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to enable the fulfillment of His will.
  • He reproduces the character of Christ within believers.
  • They are able to use spiritual gifts or express supernatural manifestations of the Spirit who lives in them.

Romans 5:1-11

Forgiveness, eternal life and grace1We come, then, to this wonderful conclusion. We have been brought back into right relationship with God, and made completely acceptable to Him, through our faith in Jesus Christ.2Through Him we now have peace with God, and all the blessings of His grace are made available to us by means of our faith. We stand daily in the flow of God's free gifts to us and we can rejoice that a greater revelation of His glory awaits us. This is our sure and certain hope.3-4At the same time, we can also rejoice in whatever cost, or even suffering, that is involved in being faithful to the Lord. Affliction teaches us perseverance and perseverance builds character. And it is part of our character to be people of hope, looking to the future positively.5Such hope does not end in disappointment because God has already filled our hearts with His love through His Holy Spirit, whom He has given to live within us.6You understand that at God's appointed time Christ died for all the ungodly. He did this while we were still powerless to please Him because of all our sins.7It is a rare event for anyone to die for another, even for someone who seems a good person, living a righteous kind of life.8How great the love that God has demonstrated in sending His Son to die for us, while we were still sinners and unacceptable to Him!9We can be sure of our acceptance because of the power of that sinless blood that Christ shed for us. We should be equally confident, then, that the process of salvation will continue in the future, that at the judgment that is to come we will be saved from God's anger, because of Jesus' great love for us.10We used to be God's enemies but now we have been reconciled to Him through the death of His own Son. His death has brought about our reconciliation; so we can be confident that the life He has given us will continue the work of salvation within our lives.11Such wonderful truth causes us to rejoice in God because of this reconciliation we have with Him through our Lord Jesus Christ. Now we are one with God!

Psalm 119:73-80

י Yodh73Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.74May those who fear you rejoice when they see me, for I have put my hope in your word.75I know, Lord, that your laws are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.76May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.77Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight.78May the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause; but I will meditate on your precepts.79May those who fear you turn to me, those who understand your statutes.80May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees, that I may not be put to shame.
