“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.
- January 19
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God” (1 John 3:1). The depth of God’s love has no limits; He loves us so much that He made us His children when we accepted His Son. Being His sons and daughters elevates us from the world’s spiritual and moral decay and allows us to live in righteousness and love.

“He becomes poor who works with a slack and idle hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich” (Proverbs 10:4, AMPC).
In our imperfect world, we see lazy people with the ability to hold a job, but choose not to. God gives us the power to get wealth, and He rewards diligence and a willingness to put in an honest day’s work.

“Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?” (Ezekiel 34:18, 19, NIV).
God issued this reprimand to the Old-Testament leaders who selfishly put themselves first before the people they were charged with leading, but this still applies today. There are self-centered leaders not only in the world who only care for their own interests, but sometimes even in the church.

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14).
The world relies on its own brand of intellectual knowledge to get by; this type of knowledge is devoid of God’s wisdom and can shift and change at any time. The gift of spiritual discernment is required for us to understand His teachings.
March 13
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed” (2 Corinthians 4:8, 9).
Trouble is part of life. We all feel discouraged occasionally; even the apostle Paul felt it from time to time. However, having a biblical perspective on this emotion helps us maintain our authority over it.

“Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?” (1 Kings 3:9).
King Solomon, known far and wide for his wisdom and faithfulness to God, prayed this. Solomon could have asked for and received anything he wanted, yet he was wise enough to ask God for the gift of discernment.
March 11
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).
Spiritual discernment is a gift from God and is something every wise person should earnestly pray for. Without this supernatural ability, it’s impossible to tell the difference between the lies the world passes off as truth, and the eternal truths that undergird His spiritual laws.
March 10
“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, ‘Abba, Father.’ So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir” (Galatians 4:4-7, NIV).
Jesus rescued us from having to live under the Law of Moses, which focused on self-effort and punishment. Because of His death and resurrection, we’re now living under grace, which focuses not on what we do, but on what He did through His love for us. Believers are now God’s children.
March 9
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26).
Without faith in Jesus and in what He did to give us eternal life and reopen the gates of heaven to us, we are part of a dying world. Our trust in God changes our family tree on a supernatural level, making us brothers and sisters to Christ Himself.

“Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility” (Proverbs 18:12).
A proud, haughty attitude displeases God, and we create problems for ourselves when we operate in pride. We demonstrate true humility when we agree with what His Word says.
