TODAY WEDNESDAY 4th, Dec 2019.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Morn. Dan 3, 4; Even: 1 John 3.
TOPIC: SAVED TO LOVE.
TEXT: “Whosoever believeth that JESUS is the CHRIST is born of GOD: And every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of GOD, when we love GOD, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of GOD, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. ” 1John 5: 1 – 3.
The message of John here is simply that he who believes that JESUS is the Messiah, and confides in Him for the remission of sins is born of GOD; and they who are pardoned and born of GOD, love Him in return for His love and love all those who are His children.
Two things prove that we love CHRIST; our love for Jesus’s followers, and our keeping the commandments of GOD. In other words, every true believer love GOD so much as to keep His commandments.
Loving GOD brings strength from GOD; and through this strength, all His commandment are not only easy and light but pleasant and delightful.
Child of GOD, as we go on in this homeward journey, remember that there will be no positive thing that will be difficult for us to do for GOD in service and in compliance to His lifestyle, and for other believers if we truly love GOD. Love constrains us to do things for GOD and His children. ( 2 Cor. 5: 14) There are people out there to whom we need to show just a flicker of affection, which can save life in all dimensions of life till eternity.
PRAYER:
My Father, my Father, as I begin to pray, fill me with love for you and others.
