“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.
- January 27
“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.

“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.

“Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15, AMPC).
If we can correctly analyze the Bible, we can also incorrectly analyze it. What was true under the law may no longer be true under grace. It’s important to know where the Old Testament stops and the New Testament begins so that we don’t find ourselves living under the old, expired law.

“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises” (Hebrews 8:6).
The new covenant of grace surpasses the law because the promises in it lead to life, not death. The old covenant was administered by long lists of rules and involved mediation by human priests; Jesus Himself, is now our mediator.
April 19
“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth” (Hebrews 9:16, 17).
It was necessary for Jesus to die in order to put the New Testament in force. The cross was the defining line between the old covenant of the law and the new covenant of grace.

“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, he who rules his [own] spirit than he who takes a city” (Proverbs 16:32, AMPC).
A person with no emotional control is the weakest person on the planet. If we can control our feelings instead of letting them control us, there’s no limit to what we can accomplish.
April 17
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7).
The danger of making decisions based on our emotions is that our feelings can lead us in the wrong direction and get us in trouble. Mastering our emotions leads to self-control, which is one of the fruits of the spirit.
April 16
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8).
When we’re in Christ and He’s in us, we’re in the safest place in the universe: His presence. We don’t have to fear death because when we slip out of our bodies, we’ll instantly find ourselves standing before Him in heaven.
April 15
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2).
Our souls are where our emotions reside. God wants us to exercise the authority He gave us in the emotional realm. When we succeed in controlling our emotions, we prosper in other areas of our lives as well.
April 14
“You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever” (Psalm 16:11, NLT).
Living apart from God isn’t really living, just existing. God wants us to enjoy His presence now, while we’re still on earth, and then spend eternity with Him in heaven.

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:31, 32).
Our God is a generous God who gives His love and all the best of heaven freely. Generosity is His nature; there’s nothing that He won’t give—not even His own Son.
