“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 that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding” (Proverbs 17:27, 28)
Some people seem to know when to keep quiet when others are opening their mouths and putting their foot in it. Spiritual discernment from the Holy Spirit gives us the wisdom to know when to practice the vocabulary of silence and say nothing.
February 15
“Better is a dry morsel with quietness than a house full of feasting [on offered sacrifices] with strife” (Proverbs 17:1, AMPC).
Strife is a spirit that opposes the peace and harmony of the Holy Spirit. None of our self-efforts at projecting an outward appearance matter if our motives are wrong; what does matter to God is what’s in our heart.

“The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)” (John 10:10, AMPC).
Jesus certainly offers eternal life to those who believe in His name and accept Him by faith, but we don’t have to wait until we get to heaven to take hold of this promise. Trusting Him enough to let Him guide us in every aspect of our lives fills us with immense peace and joy.
February 13
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22).
There’s an unbreakable connection between what goes on in our hearts and what happens in our physical bodies. God’s presence does more for our good health than all the medicines and prescriptions in the world.

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him” (Psalm 28:7).
Our external environment is a dangerous place, and we’re not strong enough to handle every situation that comes our way. We can trust God to shield us from harm, keep us safe, and deliver us from evil. Knowing this gives us great joy.
February 11
“And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee” (Psalm 9:10).
Developing a close personal relationship with God involves trusting Him in all things and in every situation; this is a trust He’ll never betray. When we seek God, we’ll find Him, and He promises never to leave us.

“For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (2 Corinthians 4:8, 9).
When we get born again, we’re spiritual infants who must learn the basics of the gospel teachings. As we continue to study God’s Word and partake of the spiritual nourishment it gives us, we grow spiritually and become stronger. Maturing in Christ and receiving the gift of discernment from Him enables us to handle the more advanced lessons He teaches us.

“Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law” (Romans 13:7, 8, NKJV).
God sees money differently from the world’s view. Love is the currency of heaven; it’s also the new law He gave us when He replaced the Law of Moses with the grace of Jesus Christ.

“But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves” (Malachi 4:2, NIV).
Those who choose to put God first in their lives receive His promise of healing and right standing with Him. In a sick and sinful world, the manifestation of this promise in our lives will be plain to see when we stand out from the crowd.
