God's Simple Commands

 

Today's verse is 1 John 3:23

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

Jesus Christ paid for the sins of the world, and by believing in his name, we receive this marvelous, unimaginable gift. When we receive this gift, the Spirit of Jesus resides in us, seeking to love those that we come across, and showing them the love that God has for them. This is evidence that we have received this gift, for it comes not from us, but God that now dwells within us. So, let us, as Paul commanded, “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” And rest in the Salvation that God has given us through Jesus Christ. Amen.

To God be the Glory
