Word of the Day: 3 essential things in a Christian's life

There are 3 essential things that we all need: faith, love, and humility. Faith gives us the assurance of salvation and brings us closer to God. Love makes us live according to God's will, loving Him and others. Humility teaches us to be less selfish and to give glory to whom it's due: Jesus.

Having faith in God is the first step to draw near to Him, and this faith guides us to seek to live according to His will at all times.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Hebrews 11:6

When God's love touches our hearts, our entire being is transformed. His love fills us and helps us to live following His great example of love and giving importance to what He considers important.

"“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

John 15:9-10

Humility can be a great challenge in the society we live in. However, humility is not optional: it is a distinctive mark of those who want to live in obedience to God, imitating Jesus Christ's attitude. By being humble, we show that Jesus is the King of our hearts.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death -
even death on a cross!

Philippians 2:5-8

Do not forget your spiritual needs, every day, put on the Armor of God!

Word of the Day: God Is Thinking of You

Right now, God has you in His thoughts. Have you ever stopped to think about that? God has a plan for your life, He is thinking about you in everything He does.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand -
when I awake, I am still with you.
Psalm 139:17-18

Every single thing that happens, whether good or bad, God knows! Yes, it shows an incomprehensible depth and abundance of God's thoughts toward us and an intimate understanding of us. Such a vast sum of thoughts, that the psalmist likens them to countless grains of sand. God's love and concern for His people have no limits. His God's thoughts toward us are constant, unwavering, and immeasurable, extending beyond our comprehension.

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Luke 12:6-7

Jesus also highlights God's intimate knowledge and care for His creation, when he mentions the sparrows in Luke 12. He emphasizes that not one sparrow is forgotten by God and that even the very hairs of our heads are known about. The knowledge and understanding of us is so meticulous and detailed that it could only belong to the one who created us. Not only this, but it reinforces the idea that God has a care for us that is deep, personal, and comprehensive.

Word of the Day: Let God's grace transform your life

Grace means undeserved favor. We do not deserve God's kindness, because we all have sinned, but still, He loves us and wants the best for us! That's grace. By His grace, God sent Jesus to save us and give us a blessed life, free from sin. And all we have to do is accept this gift, given freely.

8 For it is by grace you have been saved,through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9

Do you want to see God's grace in your life? Then open your heart today and accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. He gave His life on the cross for you out of love and wants you to acknowledge your need for His love and forgiveness. With Him in your life, you will have peace with God for all eternity.

If you already have Christ in your heart, decide to share His gift of grace with everyone around you. Carry God's Love wherever you go. Help the needy, bring joy to the suffering, share what God has given you. Let others see how God's grace has transformed you and live for His glory.
