Word of the Day: An invitation and A Challenge

God extends an invitation and a challenge to all who love Him.

The Invitation

Come and learn more about the love of God! God loves you so much and he desires to have a deeper relationship with you, one where he will bless you abundantly.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

2 Thessalonians 3:5

9 “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.

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

John 15:9-10,12

So how does God love us? How does it feel to be loved by God?

There are five features of God's love that we can experience from him today:

  1. It is unconditional: God's love is not based on what we do or how we behave; it is given to everyone regardless of their worthiness or behavior.

  2. It is selfless: God's love is sacrificial and self-giving, evident in the death of Jesus. It seeks the well-being of others, at great personal cost.

  3. It is Eternal: God's love will never end. It does not diminish or fluctuate based on what we do or say but remains constant throughout all times and circumstances.

  4. It is inclusive: God's love is a gift for all people, without discrimination or exclusion. He offers it to every individual, regardless of their race, sex, ethnicity, nationality, or background.

  5. It is redemptive: God's love has the ultimate goal of reconciling humanity to Himself. This is the foundation of God's plan; to save the world through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Challenge

And this is the challenge: it's time to be fruitful! God wants to help you mature and be transformed so that you bear much fruit. The goal of this is to glorify God. By living in a relationship with Christ and producing spiritual fruit, we can show how much we love God, through bringing him all the honor and praise.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

John 15:5-8

But it is a challenge, there is a warning in this passage, and the consequence of leaving Jesus' side is that we become outcasts.

Do you accept the invitation and the challenge?

Follow Christ's direction, and meet with Him right now!

Word of the Day: Purify yourself from everything that contaminates you

The New Testament holds many promises for us. These promises are of the help God offers us during our challenges and struggles, God's great rescue plan through the return of Christ, and the promise of eternal life.

Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
2 Corinthians 7:1

In 2 Corinthians 7:1, we are called to seek purity in our lives, because of the promises God has made to us. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we have the promise of redemption and eternal life. Therefore, as beloved of God, our desire should be to live a purified life both in body and spirit.

Purifying the body involves taking care of our physical temple, our body. We should distance ourselves from harmful practices and habits that do not honor God. But purifying our spiritual self is equally important. We must distance ourselves from attitudes, thoughts, and feelings that damage our relationship with God and others.

Pursuing holiness is not an easy task, but a journey of continuous growth. This verse in Corinthians should remind us that we need to be building holiness and purity with reverence and fear of God. This fear is not dread, but a deep respect and awe for our Creator.

So, as we walk our path of faith, let us keep our hearts and minds focused on God's promise and strive to live a purified and sanctified life, honoring God in every area of our lives.

Word of the Day: 3 promises from God for your life

God always fulfills His promises! He makes special promises to those who love Him. And each of us can walk daily in the right direction toward the fulfillment of the plans God has for our lives.

We can never have complete control over our own lives and plans. Sometimes, what may seem like a good idea today can turn into a bad one tomorrow. Moreover, how can we ever know that what we want is the same as what God wants? Even if you desire good things for your life, the Lord always knows what is best for you.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11

God's plans are greater than you can imagine! He has plans to bless you and not harm you. Trust your dreams into God's hands and allow Him to show and guide you on the best paths. Trust in His infinite love and immeasurable goodness!

If you believe in Jesus Christ and have dedicated your life to Him, God promises:

  1. to always be with you,
  2. to grant you a life of abundance,
  3. and to give you eternal life!

He offers these things not because you deserve them, but because He loves you.

Do you want to receive these 3 promises from God, then all you need is to ask.
