Since 2012, She Reads Truth has maintained a singular mission: to be women in the Word of God every day. Ten years later, our community includes “Shes” from across the globe, but our mission hasn’t changed.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading This Is The Church, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read. Each day for this series, we’ll include a brief summary of the reading along with a prompt for conversation.
The Church is a new priesthood, different from the priesthood of the Old Testament. Jesus Christ is our High Priest who leads us in offering our lives in worship as a living sacrifice to God.
Today, along with responding to the reading, share with the community in the comments what part of the world you are reading from.

Glacier View, Alaska. I hadn’t thought of all the verses talking about sacrifice as references to the priesthood, but it makes so much sense! Romans 12:1 is one of my favorites. There is more depth to it when you realize Jesus is the High Priest and presented Himself as a living sacrifice as an example to us… and He was the ultimate sacrifice to make a way for us to even be able to draw near and know our Creator!

Denise, the reading about “a Royal Priesthood” is to show the requirement for blood being shed as an atonement for sin is no longer required, since Jesus is our high priest and completely fulfilled that need in his bloodshed on the cross for all mankind; the people of the past, present, and future. In the Old Testament, God made the requirement of needing a high priest to shed blood of a perfect spotless animal to cleanse and atone for sin. This reading today is to show in multiple places in God’s Word that it is no longer required, since Jesus is our high priest. However, we, as believers, are to present ourselves to the Lord as willing sacrifices,to do whatever he has called us to do, and that’s the very least we can do- given all he has done for us! Does this help your understanding?

Hebrews 13:15 stood out to me today (and continuing to verse 16) “15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise-the fruit of lips that confess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” Jesus was the final sacrifice requiring the spilling of blood, and with Him now as High Priest and Christ followers as His royal priesthood, our sacrifices that please God are praise, confessing the name of Jesus, and doing good and sharing the good news with others. May I be faithful to pour out my life as a living sacrifice in that way.

I feel a little lost here with no commentary from the SRT staff. Jesus is the High Priest and we as his followers are priests. Is this Day #15 to acknowledge this, and we take no other “gods”?

Hi everyone. I’m from Canberra, Australia
Dear Lord, the Father. Hear my confession. I pray for richer knowledge & deeper trust, to hear more clearly the call to …”draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts (my heart) sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies (my body) washed in pure water”. Hebrews 10: 22. Living my way alone is only a front & a fake. Lacking in truth & a certain travesty. Leaning into Christ; claiming His centrality; believing the debt paid; approaching the throne of grace…Then, then, I bid, turn my “groans to glory”. Help me. Help me. Help me. Please. Please. Please. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Your daughter in Portland, Oregon.

Hi She’s! I am so grateful for She Reads Truth and all that make it possible to dive into the word daily! It has been such a blessing adding growth, understanding, and reverence to our Almighty God and the Savior, Lord Jesus Christ that He sent to save us, and the Holy Spirit to guide us daily in our lives and to shine the light and give Him glory! Wow, Halejuhah run-on sentence! But I could talk all day about how He has saved my life, answered so many prayers, and continues to bless me! I love that we are online friends that hide all of our differences and unite us in our oneness!
I am sending prayers to those in need, and for the one who asks for prayers for her 19-year-old son. I lift him up to you Father, like so many of us that worry for our children and grandchildren that we cherish but have fallen away, we KNOW that YOUR WORD says that they are in YOUR HANDS, and like the prodigal son that was lost, he will return to you, Lord! We pray this in Jesus’ name, amen.
I am reading from beautiful sunny and hot Fort Myers Florida! Living my dream that God answered a few years ago! He is guiding us and leading us on our journey, but it is about HIM and not us.

Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.”

I have never thought of myself as being a living sacrifice offered up for the glory of the Lord. 1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. – Romans 12:1. This makes me want to read through the Old Testament and look at the sacrifice rules. I think they’re might be a new found sweetness in the details with this new perspective.

I’m sharing from Olathe, KS, USA, a suburb of Kansas City.
While reading the scripture in my Thrive Devotional Bible, I came upon this devotion in regards to 1 Peter 2:9, it’s titled “Love Letter from God.” “Beloved Daughter, I have set you apart, and you belong to Me. I know you desire to be approved of and accepted by others, but you are My daughter , and I did not design you to fit into this world I put a light in you to shine out. I chose you from the beginning of time, but you also have a choice. You can live like My daughter for My approval, or you can live for other and be controlled by what they think of you. I want first place in your heart. When I come first, you will live your life for Me. Remember, you do not have to try to make yourself presentable to come to Me. Just come, and I will work in you so that you will become a beautiful reflection of Me. LOVE, YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.”
I felt many of us could use this reminder of God’s love.
Sisters, be blessed and remember God and Christ love YOU the WAY you ARE.

Mind-boggling that God says we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession. How far we as His people fall and yet He calls us to live in this world by His grace as Jesus lived ( I Peter 2:18ff), as His chosen people before the world. Not as the world, as His redeemed people, His royal priesthood. May God strengthen us with His Spirit to be the fragrance of Christ to those who are perishing.

Since Jesus is our great High Priest, and we have confidence to enter the holy place (the place where God’s presence dwelt in the temple that only the high priest could go in the Old Testament to atone for the people’s sins), let us draw near to God with a sincere heart, in full assurance of faith, and hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, and consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds! What great encouragement from the Word! We are saved and called to draw near to God and to be set apart for His glory and purposes! Let us remember the great price with which we have been bought and the new, holy life that He has saved us to live with Him and in Him!

Stef M., I have been a born again Christian for the last 12 years and still battle with the lies and fears that satan had me believing for so long…unworthy, unloved, not enough of this or that. I even back slid for a little while. However, the one thing that I cling to is knowing that God loves us so much that he wants us broken so we may learn to love him as much as he loves us and take our testimonies to help others that are just as broken as we are/were so they can see how we are changing our lives to be true daughters of God and bring more people to his kingdom.

I, too, pray to be the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. Feels like a tall order and one I pray through God’s grace to live.
The challenge in my heart is having rejected my Christian faith for so long, feeling unworthy at times to proclaim it now. Jesus is talking to me in y prayers showing me just how worthy I am of MY own testimony.. that He never called me to be perfect – but to Love and Surrender and place my Hope in Him. This relieves me and amazes my senses. My prayer is that I can continue to drop the critic of my mind to live more boldly for Christ. ❣️

Christ set us free from our sins-made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father (Rev1:5b,6).
In view of the mercies of God, we are to present ourselves as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is our true worship. (Romans 12:1)
For we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his possession, so that we may proclaim the praises of the one who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9)

I know that Jesus will always intercede on my behalf and you are a good God that’s wonder is never ending. Amen o

Heb. 7:25 “Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, since he always lives to intercede for them.”
Jesus’ work as both the High Priest and the perfect Sacrifice satisfied EVERY requirement God the Father had for my redemption. By surrendering my will to Him and placing my trust in His all-sufficent work, I am made holy in God’s eyes. There is nothing I can do that can add to Christ’s work and nothing I can do to diminish it. I am “completely” saved. What freedom! What a gift! What an awesome God!

“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.” – 2 Corinthians 2:14 This verse brings such a vivid picture to mind and it brings to mind the verse when it talks about the angels rejoicing every time someone gives their heart to Jesus. And the celebration that takes place every time a servant of the Lord enters heaven. There is a continual spiritual/heavenly celebration happening and when we are following Christ and sharing His Good News, we are part of his procession. This is so humbling and so encouraging to me. Reading from Elkridge, MD in the U.S.

As a priest to the living God, it is my job to pray for myself and intercede for others, to praise God,a and to offer my own life as a living sacrifice to God. Reading from the Netherlands.

Greetings to all from Northern California ❤️
Just yesterday our pastor was talking about God’s church (or government) being an international one. We don’t need to fear the evil and godless organizations because God is our true King and leader. Reading from Cambridgeshire, UK!
The tearing of the curtain to the “Holy of Holies” at Jesus’s death has always been a compelling image that fills me with wonder. What a grand invitation to step through and enter into relation and covenant with God.
How amazing that God our Father has made us one of his Royal Priests. We have work to do here where we live.
I am from South Australia and I am thankful for these Bible studies
I, Tina, who is of the chosen race, the King’s priests, the holy nation, God’s own people, chosen to proclaim the wonderful acts of God, who called us out of darkness into his own marvelous light, (paraphrased 1 Peter 2:9), write from across the pond, from the village of Churchdown in England..
Happy Monday Shes, wrapped in love and prayers for a peacefilled, God present and blessed day!❤
