“For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:3, 4). Christ accomplished what human effort could never achieve—freedom from sin’s power. Walking in love enables us to live out God’s righteousness, not by our strength but through His grace.

“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law” (Romans 13:8). Love is the ultimate debt we continually owe others, a responsibility that never ends. By loving others, we live out the very heart of God’s New-Testament law of love, fulfilling its purpose in our relationships.

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:34, 35). Jesus set the standard for love by His own example, calling us to a sacrificial and selfless love. Our witness to the world hinges on this love, which is the defining mark of true discipleship.

“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” (1 John 5:1-3). True love for God is expressed through obedience, which flows naturally from a transformed heart. His commands are life-giving, not oppressive, because they align us with His love and purpose.

“But you were unwilling to go up. You rebelled against the command of the LORD your God; you grumbled in your tents and said, ‘It is because the LORD hates us that he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to hand us over to the Amorites to destroy us” (Deuteronomy 1:26, 27). Fear and distrust can distort our view of God’s intentions, leading to rebellion and complaint. It’s therefore prudent to guard against interpreting challenges as evidence of God’s absence rather than opportunities to trust His promises.
- January 24
“We love him, because he first loved us... And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also” (1 John 4;19, 21). Love for God is inseparable from love for others. God’s initiating love calls us to reflect His character through tangible acts of love toward those around us.
- January 23
“And hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Romans 5:5). Our hope in God is secure because it’s rooted in God’s love, not in our circumstances. The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us that His love is an active and sustaining force in our lives.
- January 22
“Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers” (1 Timothy 1:9) The law exists to restrain sin, not for those who live righteously. As believers who yield to the prompting of the holy Spirit, we live beyond the need for legal constraint.

“And you, who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having freely forgiven us all our transgressions, Having canceled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross. [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross]” (Colossians 2:13-15, AMPC). Christ went to the cross to secure our complete forgiveness and freedom. Every accusation and spiritual opposition has been publicly defeated, leaving us victorious in Him.

“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end” (Hebrews 3:5, 6). Under the law, Moses displayed complete faithfulness and obedience to God, yet he was still a servant. By contrast, under grace, we have a place in God’s household because we’re no longer servants, but children.

“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:16, NIV).
Religion tells us to be meek and timid in God’s presence, but the Scriptures tell us the exact opposite. Believers have been made righteous and holy through Jesus; because we’re the righteousness of God, we have a level of confidence the world doesn’t have.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” (James 1:22).
What we speak certainly is important, but our actions show the world whether or not we really believe what we say. Those professing to be Christians must be careful that their behavior demonstrates their belief and reflects God’s teachings.

“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers” (Ephesians 4:29).
Words are powerful; as believers, we must realize the authority of what we say. We can bring good or evil to pass, depending on what comes out of our mouth. Our words should therefore line up with God’s Word.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” (Ephesians 5:1, 2).
If we’re to demonstrate God’s love to the world in the same manner as Jesus did, we must be willing to take action and let God order our steps in our Christian walk. Following God goes beyond simply trusting what we think intellectually or feel emotionally is right; it involves studying His Word and letting the Holy Spirit reveal the way we should go.

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2:13, NKJV).
In the Old Testament, the people were far from God; even touching the mountain where He lived meant certain death. Now, we can confidently come into His presence because of the blood Jesus shed on the cross.

“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing” (1 Peter 3:8, 9, NIV).
Letting the Holy Spirit guide our every thought unites us, according to the will of God. His plan is for us to act toward others as Jesus did toward those He came in contact with during His earthly ministry. Behaving like this supernaturally opens the door to God’s blessings in our lives.

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).
True joy—the kind that’s so deep, so high, so wide, and so all-encompassing that it permeates our very being—comes from God. When we reach that point on our Christian walk where we feel it resonate through us, we’ll know it comes directly from Him. His plan is for us to be happy and glad-hearted in Him.
August 28
“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, rejoice” (Philippians 4:4).
When we think about all the good things God has done for us and all the miracles He continues to work in our lives, we can’t help but rejoice and give thanks for His mercy and love. Having glad and thankful hearts is one indication that we’re beginning to exhibit the spiritual fruit that God wants for us.

“It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30, NIV).
All good gifts come from God, including grace, who came to us in the form of Jesus Christ. When we’re in relationship with Christ, we receive the same qualities as He has. This includes His wisdom, righteousness, holiness, and right-standing with God.
