The Transforming Power of Following Christ

Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.  

Reading: 2 Corinthians 5

Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.  
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.

When you said yes to Jesus, something changed at the core of who you are. You became new. This transformation isn’t about perfection—it’s about living from your new identity. As ambassadors of Christ, our lives should reflect His reconciling love. This means letting go of what once defined us and stepping into a life of purpose.

Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…  

1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).  
2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Pray for God to continue transforming your heart and to use you as a vessel of reconciliation in someone’s life today.
   
3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.  

Take Action:

1. Write out one specific way your life has changed since following Jesus. Share it with someone.
2. Look for a way to extend grace or forgiveness to someone in your life today.
