Monday
1 John 3:14
If I love my Christian brothers and sisters, it proves that I have passed from death to eternal life. But a person who has no love is still dead.
Tuesday
1 John 3:15
If I hate another Christian I am really a murderer at heart. And I know that murderers don’t have eternal life within them.
Wednesday
1 John 3:16
I know what real love is because You, Christ, gave up Your life for me. And so I also ought to give up my life for my Christian brothers and sisters.
Thursday
1 John 3:17
But if I have enough money to live well and see a brother or sister in need and refuse to help–how can Your love, God, be in me?
Friday
1 John 3:18
I must stop just saying I love others; I must really show it by my actions.
Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers
4701. Facing duty in service is easier than running away.
4702. We make a living by getting but we make lives by giving.
4703. A man’s reward is what he becomes–not what he gets.
4704. Do your best–the forest would be very quiet if no birds sang except the best singers.
4705. True wealth is the satisfaction of talent used in Christian service.
