2 Peter 1:3 says, "Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence."

So let me ask you, what kinds of things do you think are pertaining to life and godliness? 

What things are of God's kingdom? The Creator and His glory, His majesty, His power? What things are of His perfection and purity and goodness? And what pertains to life, to vitality? 

Let us meditate on this question a little. What kinds of things do you think pertain to life and godliness?

Because I think it's kind of everything that we actually want.  And he has all these things packed into the gift of his son, Jesus Christ. He's granted everything pertaining to life and godliness to you and me through Jesus Christ, who gave himself as a sacrifice for us so that we don't have to bear the consequences of our sin.

Soak in that a little today as you talk to your Creator. He loves you so much! AMEN!

Love does not seek its own, right?  Do we remember this when we consider who our God is? He is Love!

There's so much talk in Christian communities about what you are gonna do for the Lord, what we're gonna do for God. 

God is not seeking for what he can get out of us. That's obvious in the work of the cross.  God is a GIVER. He's pouring out every good thing over us through Christ!

BUT, I will tell you that a natural response to the love of God is to give. 

A real excitement for scripture and the Holy Spirit and worship and all of these things is found in the one who is receiving the love of God. And in return that love is coming back up! The filling up is now pouring over. 

So, those things are definitely a part of the Christian life, and if you don't have them, then the issue is not to try to do them. The issue is that your cup's not full. You're not receiving God's love for you.

Know today that you are dearly loved by God. Come to Him and let him care for you and pour out His goodness over your life.  

Stop worrying about measuring up and just rest in the work of Christ. Knowing that He gave up everything for you and is giving all that He is, and all that He has, FREELY to you as a gift. AMEN.

Study Scriptures today: 1 Corinthians Chapter 13

What aspects of love do you find hard to receive from our God?

What other demonstration of love could we possibly need?  Our God is like, "I'll give up everything. I'll even die a horrible death if you'll just receive me and then we can be together forever." That's the Creator of the Universe. He did that for us! 

God became man, took the punishment for our sin, died our death and then rose again just so that He could make a way for you and I to receive Him and be with him forever. He could not stand to separated from us! If you have not already, will you receive Him today? 

If you believe in your heart that Jesus rose from the dead and you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, you will be saved. He will give you His eternal life and you will be born of His Spirit, forever His child! AMEN.

If you want to be loving, you have to first be loved. If we really want to be pouring out love for people we first need to receive the Father's love because we cannot give what we don't have.

What I mean by that is simply that you have to come to a revelation and understanding of how much He loves you and what that love actually looks like. And it looks like Jesus Christ dying our death. It looks like Jesus Christ taking our consequences for sin so that we don't have to.

That's what it looks like. And so whatever we need to get out of that, that's gonna really be the thing that demonstrates, It explains, it gives us revelation of what love is.

Our God loves you so much that He gave it all up, even died a horrible death, just so that He could have you in His life forever. What revelations do you get out of the work of the cross or from the study scriptures listed below? Share your thoughts in the comments below:)
