Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

When Jesus died on the cross, He took the place we deserved. His life for ours. It’s like standing in a courtroom, knowing you’re guilty and the sentence is death and then Jesus steps forward and takes the punishment for you. And now, instead of living under condemnation, you can live by faith in the One who loved you enough to lay down His life for you.

Ephesians 4:23-24
And to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

How many times a day are you bombarded with thoughts that aren’t true? It’s hopeless. God doesn’t care. This situation will never change. Those thoughts may feel true in the moment, but that doesn’t mean they are. God wants to take those discouraging thoughts and change them into encouraging ones like: My hope is in You, God loves you, with God all things are possible.

Colossians 3:9-10
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

There’s nothing like a good transformation story. Somebody goes to prison for terrible crimes, then gives their life to Christ, and comes out a completely different person. But that kind of change doesn’t happen overnight. God changes us over time as we spend time in His Word, spend time in prayer, and allow Him to work in our hearts. Step by step He makes us more like Him.

Zechariah 2:8
For thus says the LORD of Armies: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

The Israelites were not very good at being faithful to God. They turned away from Him time and time again. And yet God was very good at being faithful to His people because He always keeps His promises. He affectionately called them the apple of His eye, not because they were perfect, but because they belonged to Him.

Proverbs 7:2
Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.

If someone stood in front of you and looked deep into your eyes, they’d see a tiny reflection of themselves looking back. Which would make them the apple of your eye or something precious to watch over. And Solomon knew that for us to live the life God intended, we couldn’t simply glance at His Word. We’d need to treasure it as the apple of our eye.

Lamentations 2:18
Their heart cried to the Lord: wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no respite; don’t let the apple of your eye cease.

Israel was facing a very difficult moment. The prophets had warned Israel that if they refused to turn back to the LORD, judgment would come, and eventually they would be taken captive. And sadly, that’s exactly what happened. However, in the midst of their grief, they turned to the One who was still their only hope.
