“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.

“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.

“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” (Psalm 139:7).
No matter where we go in life, we can’t escape God. He loves us so much that He promises to stick by us, no matter what happens. We can try to run away from Him, but there’s nowhere to hide. Regardless of the situation, when we get in trouble and call to Him for help, He’ll be there.

“But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).
There’s more—much more—to life than what we see and experience here on earth. For those who wonder if this is all there is, we have God’s promise that He has an eternal reward waiting for His children. Living in heaven with the one who is perfect love means unimaginable joy.

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
Unlike what religion teaches us, we don’t have to cringe fearfully when coming into God’s presence. Grace is the unearned, undeserved favor He has for us; knowing that He wants to extend that grace to us allows us to approach Him boldly.
March 13
“Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:31, 32, AMPC).
To banish something is to forcefully reject it, as in a king banishing an evil enemy from the kingdom. We must forcefully reject any evil issues that can afflict us and keep us in bondage to anger and unforgiveness. Jesus has already forgiven us; we’re therefore to extend that same forgiveness to others.
March 12
“Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” (James 1:21, 22, NIV).
Evil and immorality are all around us in the world, but believers are to back away from it. God’s Word, which has been planted in us like a gardener plants a garden, keeps us safe. We’re commanded to act on the Word, not just to listen passively.
March 11
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:13, 14, NIV).
As Christian soldiers fighting a spiritual battle, we’re urged to stand strong and be on guard against the enemy’s attack. The devil wants us to be afraid; however, when we act out of the perfect love Jesus exhibited, it pushes out all fear.
March 10
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:26, NKJV).
Life can be confusing, but we have divine help in making the right decisions. When we receive a prompting from the Holy Spirit, it’s wise to heed that prompting, whether or not we understand it at the moment. He teaches us things the world can’t, because His knowledge and wisdom are infinite.
March 9
“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it” (1 Corinthians 12:27, NIV).
Contrary to what the world tries tells us, the church is not a physical building or even a particular denomination, but rather the believers who are part of God’s universal, global church. He has blessed each of us with individual gifts which we use collectively to serve Him.

“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. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:1, 2, 8).
Walking often involves following, which can be an unpopular concept in the world. However, there’s no better person to follow than Jesus Christ, who did His share of walking during His earthly ministry. Following in His footsteps fills us with light and makes us stand out in a dark world.
