TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Love means doing what God has commanded us, and He has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning" (2 John 1:6, NLT).
TODAY'S WORD
, in this day and age, there are many "voices" that try to tell us how to live or how to get to heaven. Back in Bible days, there were also people known as false teachers who came into the church with a "new revelation." In this scripture, John is reminding all of us that God has not changed. He is basically saying, "You know what, there really isn't anything new about God. He's the same as He's always been so just stay with what you know. Do what He's commanded and love one another." The Word of God is His truth. When you follow God's Word, you can be sure that you are staying in the truth. Remember, Jesus said, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing." Any teachings that don't acknowledge what Jesus did on the cross are false teachings. Trust me, these teachings are starting to abound more and more. False teachings feed your pride and tell you that you can make it on your own without Him. But God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Loving others and putting them first keeps us humble before the Lord. It puts us in a position to receive His grace and live empowered by His truth all the days of our lives. A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
Father in heaven, I want to live in Your ways. I want to treat others with love and respect which shows that I honor You. Show me how to be a blessing to others and teach me how to make my prayers effective. In Jesus' Name. Amen. |
