“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.
- January 21
“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.

“A sterling reputation is better than striking it rich; a gracious spirit is better than money in the bank” (Proverbs 22:1, MSG).
Money has no spiritual value; there are things much more important in life than mere wealth—like people. God is pleased when He sees us treating others well using the Scriptures as our guideline.
February 26
“Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them” (Colossians 3:19).
As husbands striving for a Christ-centered marriage, we are to show God’s love to our wives daily. This excludes holding grudges, holding on to anger, and hurting our spouse through petty squabbles.
February 25
“It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman” (Proverbs 21:9, 19).
As wives, we have the power to maintain peace in the household with our attitudes. We can make sure that our thoughts and behavior comply with those of Jesus, who set the perfect example for us.
February 24
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 36:26, NKJV).
Meditating on the Scriptures and applying them to our lives allows them to change our way of thinking. What we think eventually takes root and grows in our heart, so that we can reflect the same love and compassion as Jesus Himself. We’re transformed from the inside out, and our spirits are renewed.
February 23
“A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart” (Proverbs 21:2, NIV).
If we take the world’s advice to “follow your heart” without first aligning it with the Scriptures, we could unwittingly take the wrong path in life. We may rationalize and think we’re doing the right thing, but God knows our true motives even better than we know them ourselves.
February 22
“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people’” (Jeremiah 31:33, NKJV).
As believers who belong to God, we have His law of love established in our minds and written in our hearts. His Holy Spirit, which is our conscience, guides us in our daily lives and helps us remember what we need to know in our dealings with others.
February 21
“‘At the same time,’ says the Lord, ‘I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.’ The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: ‘Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:1, 3, NKJV).
This promise was made when the Law of Moses was still in effect, but it remains relevant even today. When we accept Jesus for who He is, our faith makes us part of God’s family. God fashioned us out of love for us because love is part of His divine nature.
February 20
“The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore” (Psalm 121:7, 8).
Believers are safe from the evil that overtakes so many others in the world. No matter where we go or what we do, we’re protected. We have God’s promise on this.

“Don’t be gullible in regard to smooth-talking evil. Stay alert like this, and before you know it the God of peace will come down on Satan with both feet, stomping him into the dirt. Enjoy the best of Jesus!” (Romans 16:20, MSG).
Evil can present itself in any form, at any time, and in any situation; as Christians engaged in spiritual warfare, we must be vigilant and alert to all types of attacks from the enemy. When we stand on God’s Word, we’re strengthened and ready for battle. The devil has been allowed to terrorize the world temporarily, but he is a vanquished foe.
