The Bill of Rights

By Linda Tancs

The U.S. Bill of Rights spells out Americans’ rights in relation to their government. In relation to God, Christians have another bill of rights: the Bible. Thanks to the finished work on the Cross, we have certain rights that are divinely ordained and given to us by God. These rights include: living under the grace of God (Romans 6:14), exercising the authority delegated to us (Matthew 28:18) and praying in Jesus’s Name (John 16:23-24). Find more rights in your Bible. Are you claiming your rights?

The Privilege and the Power

By Linda Tancs

You have the privilege and the power of praying in Jesus’s name. After all, Jesus gave you the right to use His name when you go to God in prayer (John 16:23-24). Think about how powerful that is—when we pray in Jesus’s name, it’s as if He is making the supplication Himself. Unlike earthly privileges (like driving a car), you don’t need to worry about losing it. Enjoy this great privilege!
