Devotion 6/10, Transformed by Grace
He hath made him to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God . . .
2 Corinthians 5:21
One day Augustine had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ that transformed his life. His restlessness and the practice of sin disappeared. He became one of the great saints of all time. John Newton was a slave trader on the west coast of Africa. One day in a storm at sea he met Jesus Christ. He went back to England and became an Anglican clergyman. He wrote scores of hymns, one of which has become the modern popular song, “Amazing Grace.” This is what Christ can do for anyone who puts their trust in Him.
Your amazing grace transforms our unworthy lives, Father. We ask for Your forgiveness of our sins, by your grace, love and mercies. We can only be transformed by your amazing, amazing grace. All praise and glory are yours Father, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
