Changed by His Love
1 John 2:29: If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
A Sunday School class seemed to be having constant problems. The pastor and the superintendent met with the teacher and officers, but made no apparent progress. Then, one Sunday morning, the teacher of the class came down the aisle during the closing hymn of the service. “I suppose she wants to dedicate her life to the Lord,” the pastor thought. “Pastor,” she said, “I want to confess Christ as my Saviour. All these years I thought I was saved, but I wasn’t.
There was always something lacking in my life. The class problems were my problems, but now they’ve been solved. Now I know I’m saved.” 1
Loving Him
Does your life bear the marks of obedience, love, and truth? Is your Christian life something real—genuine—authentic? Or is it counterfeit? It is a question of truth—or consequences! And if you do not face the truth, you must pay the consequences!
Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. 2 Corinthians 13:5
Loving Others
May your confession and your conduct be like identical twins.
Make Me Like You
Lord, thank You for the blessing of salvation and for the work of sanctification.
