Everyone needs inspiration and Christians need the inspiration of Christ. From the Old Testament, we learn that God has created mankind in his own image. Even more, God has created the entire universe to reveal his existence and thus the greatness of his power and glory.
In Psalm 19:1-3, we read, "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard." King David teaches us that every day we can be reminded of God's existence, power, and glory.
We can have a personal relationship with Christ as we learn from Romans 8:1-2, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death." To be "in Christ" we must accept and receive Christ and then walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. He is the God of creation and he can recreate our souls to be restored to the image of Christ as we were made to be. The Apostle Paul teaches us that we can live in new life by being in Christ and walking in his Spirit.
We find more inspiration through the Light of the Word of God as we see in 1 John 1:5-7. "This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin." John exhorts us to walk in the light of Christ which we can find in the truth of Scripture. And if we sin there is a remedy, for, "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness," v.9. The Apostle John gives us great inspiration to know we can walk in truth and we can be forgiven from our sin.
From both natural and special revelation, we find inspiration from God in Christ through the Holy Spirit. David, Paul and John all remind us that Christ is the Light of the world and in him, we can find the inspiration of eternal life.
FAITH TODAY: Psalm 27:1 - "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
