The Promise Becomes Personal

Scripture: Romans 10:13

Devotional: The promise of salvation is offered freely, but it becomes yours through surrender. Not surrender in terms of finances, effort, or worthiness, but surrender of the heart. It means letting go of the illusion of self-rule and trusting Jesus as Savior and Lord. It means releasing sin rather than managing or excusing it. It means yielding your will, desires, and identity to the God who came to rescue you.

Advent is more than remembering Christ’s coming. It’s an invitation for His saving work to take deeper root in you today. The promise moves from “He will save” to “He has saved me.”

Reflection: What’s one area of your life where God is inviting you to deeper surrender?

Prayer Direction: Pray for the courage to place that part of your life fully into Christ’s hands and to walk in the freedom He gives.
