Romans 12:21: Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Love in the Church and love in the world go together. They are the demands of commitment. Our minds have been renewed. Our lives have been transformed. And the Holy Spirit can do all this through us.
Are we loving the church?
Are we loving the world? 1
Application
- You have a choice to make each day. You can choose to be an overcomer in this world, or you can choose to be overcome by this world.
- Are you known for your love of others? Read 1 Corinthians 13:1-7. Does that kind of love describe your life?
Prayer
Lord, I want to know You more, so I can love You and others more. Help me to read and study Your word with greater consistency each day.
