Dead faith agrees but stays unchanged. Living faith transforms. As you truly believe, the Holy Spirit renews your mind (Romans 12:2). Old habits fall away and the new creation emerges (2 Corinthians 5:17). But the transformation doesn't stop (2 Corinthians 3:18). Even in our most glorious seasons, there's greater glory ahead! Beholding Jesus changes us progressively to be more like Him each day.

Meditate on this word, vicarious. It's a living proxy, a stand-in whose actions ripple eternally. Adam embodied humanity vicariously, not by vote or consent, but by divine design. His choice resulted in a "free gift" of sin imputed to us all, unasked, unearned (Romans 5:12-19). Did anyone poll you? Invite you to inherit Adam's sin? No. yet here we stand, heirs to the fall. But oh, the counterpoint! Jesus Christ, our true Vicar, steps into the chaos as humanity's Champion. In Him, the Trinity's redemptive council unfolds. The Father sends the Son (John 3:16), the Son lays down His life (Philippians 2:8), the Spirit seals the victory (Ephesians 1:13-14).
