Friday, January 9 | Hope in His Name
Day 5: Hope in His Name
Reading: Romans 5:1-11; Titus 3:3-7
Devotional: "In his name the Gentiles will hope." This is the stunning conclusion of Isaiah's prophecy—that salvation would extend beyond ethnic privilege to all who believe. You don't earn your way into God's family through moral achievement or religious performance. Hope comes through Jesus' name alone. Paul reminds us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Not after we cleaned up. Not after we proved ourselves worthy. While we were yet enemies, He loved us. This is the gospel that transforms self-righteous religion into grace-filled relationship. Today, let this truth settle deep: your acceptance isn't based on your effort but on Jesus' finished work. Stop striving and start resting. Your hope isn't in your performance but in His promise. Live from that freedom.
