“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.
- 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.
- 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.

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud” (Proverbs 16:18, 19).
Adopting a proud attitude sets us up for a fall. Pride is a spirit not from God; letting it infect our thinking can bring us down.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?” (2 Corinthians 6:14, 15).
As believers, we must be careful about who we develop a relationship with. We can be strongly influenced by people who we spend time with on an extended basis. The wrong influence causes us to stumble on our faith walk; this is especially important for single Christians to remember.

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5, NIV).
We’ve been blessed with sound minds and strong intellects we can use for good in the spiritual fight that all believers are engaged in. Protecting our thought processes from evil influences by meditating on the Scriptures gives us access to supernatural power to overcome philosophies and thoughts that go against God’s Word.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
On our own and without Jesus, we have no hope at all. When we get born again and Jesus comes to live inside of us, our sins are washed away; we can then truthfully say we’ve been made holy and righteous in God’s eyes.
March 3
“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (1 Corinthians 13:11, NKJV).
When we’re first born again, we’re spiritual children needing the simple basics of God’s Word. The more we study it and apply it to our lives, the more we grow in Christ. Diligently continuing to meditate on it brings us to a point where our once-childish understanding of it matures.

“Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel” (Proverbs 20:17).
The phrase “honesty is the best policy” may have originated with this biblical truth. We often bring punishment onto ourselves by giving in to the temptation to be dishonest. Even if we think no one noticed, we’re left with a guilty conscience that follows us everywhere.
March 1
“Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?” (Proverbs 20:9).
Under the old-covenant Law of Moses—which was entirely works-based—no one could ever truthfully say they were free from sin because no one could make their own heart clean. Jesus did everything that was needed to cleanse us; we no longer have to rely on our own efforts to be holy.

“The appetite of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the appetite of the diligent is abundantly supplied… Wealth [not earned but] won in haste or unjustly or from the production of things for vain or detrimental use [such riches] will dwindle away, but he who gathers little by little will increase [his riches]” (Proverbs 13:4, 11, AMPC).
There’s eternal value in being patient, consistent, and willing to work an honest job. Conversely, letting greed motivate us to lean toward get-rich-quick schemes hurts us in the long run.
February 27
“He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding… The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute” (Proverbs 12:11, 24).
Sloths are known for being slow-moving and doing very little. Being diligent and putting in an honest day’s work is scripturally based and pleasing to God; we mustn’t be like the sloth.
