Bible Verse of The Day – 10-28-23

Galatians 3:28 (NKJV) 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Paul is teaching us here that in Christ there is no favoritism regarding race, rank, or sex. We are all sons and daughters of God through our faith in Christ Jesus.

God will make His home in those who truly love Him.

It doesn’t matter our background or who we were before our hearts surrendered to Him.

Jesus says, if anyone loves me, he will keep My word and My Father will love him and make our home with him.

Who is this “him” Jesus speaks of? Those who love the Lord, Jesus Christ and keep His word.

John 14:23 (NKJV) 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

Keeping His word is an absolute!

This means we have to pay attention to His word, the Bible, and what He says in it.

Following Him in obeying what He tells us to do is an outward expression of our hearts. Keeping His word active in our daily actions is what matters to Him.

Is it hard at times to stay true to His word? To be honest, yes.

We may feel like giving up at times. We might feel like we are missing out on things others are doing and having fun with.

We may feel like we work so hard to stay diligent and faithful in doing His word, but people ignore us and sometimes don’t want us around.

Those are just a few examples of what we can feel at times.

But, let me say this; there will be more days of seeing the results from us pushing through, staying steadfast and not giving up than there will be days of the negative kind.

Having the Creator, our Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit make their home in us will undoubtedly come with a cost.

The cost is loving Him more than anything or anyone, and fully surrendering to Him.

Who does He come to?

To those who love Him and keep His word.

It doesn’t matter what we have done in the past, if we surrender to Him, He will make His home in us.

Amen.
