A Child Is Born
AUGUST 15 & 16, 2026
Daily Reading—Psa. 58-64 / Rom. 8
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
Time and again, we have seen couples meet, fall in love, marry, and not long after, announce a new life in their home. A child is born from their love and relationship. God’s Word calls this being fruitful. After the flood, God told Noah’s family in Genesis 9:1b… “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”
When we accepted Christ as Saviour, we became part of the Bride of Christ. Paul said here in Romans 7:4, we are dead to the law and married to Christ. He then adds, “that we should bring forth fruit unto God.” He is talking about us reproducing ourselves. How? By sharing the gospel with others and winning them to Christ.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Shouldn’t our relationship with the Lord also cause us to be fruitful and reproduce?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:
On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then,
when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading.
God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.
