Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

This is my meaningful scripture. I know that people delight in saying favorite verse but there is a difference between favorite and meaningful. Favorite is a delightful place, it is feel good and can change for time to time. Meaningful is that dependable verse that helps pull you out of those dark places we go from time to time.

For me, Romans 8:1 is meaningful because of what I was in my past life, damaged and dangerous. I was a wreck and I hated myself. I literally condemned myself for all the hurt and pain I had caused in the lives of those closest to me. Romans 8:1 helps pull me back from those moments when I remember my past and the nightmare I once lived. That life is over and Romans 8:1 reminds me of who and what I am now.

Do you have a meaningful passage that you can call upon when you need God to pull you up?

I do not know your life or the things which you have had to live with, but I do know that if you are a new creation in Christ that the enemy will and does try and frustrate you. For me my memories are Satan’s weapons against my obedience of faith. I recognize that there are times when I come under attack by Satan when God is about to use me. It is comforting to think that Satan hates me enough to fight my faith.

Think about your own personal weakness and where Satan will attack. Do you have a passage that pulls you back to truth? Do you have a meaningful passage that shuts the mouth of that lying enemy?

I pray you do. They really do help.
