THE WORD: John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
LET’S PRAY
Heavenly Father, teach me. Guide me in all truth. I pray that I may fully understand Your love, respond to it by truly believing in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. Help me to understand the truth of eternal life, and cultivate a faith that produces obedience. I desire to express my faith through love to others. Touch my heart.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
As we explore the foundations of our faith, it’s essential to understand the way of salvation. What is the motivation behind God’s desire to save us? It’s not because He just feels sorry for us, or because He’s kinda nice, but because He loves us. God’s love is the why behind the what of what we do as believers, and faith is the how.
When we respond to God’s love with faith, we’re not just intellectualising a concept; we’re engaging with a person. Faith is personal, and it’s rooted in who God is. When we believe in Jesus Christ, we’re not just accepting a doctrine; we’re receiving eternal life. And as we live out our faith, we’re not just doing good works; we’re obeying God’s commands and expressing our love for Him.
Faith and love are intimately connected. We don’t work for love; we work from it. The evidence of our faith is not just what we believe, but how we live it out. When we truly understand God’s love for us, we’ll be motivated to respond with faith, and that faith will produce obedience and love for others. As we explore this correlation between faith and love, let’s ask ourselves: is our faith alive and active, touching the lives of those around us? Or are we just going through the motions?
