Read 1 John 5:1-6
Whoever believes that Jesus is the
Messiah is a child of God; and whoever loves a father loves his child also. 2This
is how we know that we love God’s children: it is by loving God and obeying his
commands. 3For our love for God means that we obey his commands. And
his commands are not too hard for us, 4because every child of God is
able to defeat the world. And we win the victory over the world by means of our
faith. 5Who can defeat the world? Only the person who believes that
Jesus is the Son of God.
6 Jesus Christ is the one who came
with the water of his baptism and the blood of his death. He came not only with
the water, but with both the water and the blood. And the Spirit himself
testifies that this is true, because the Spirit is truth.
Think
We know we are children of God - when we love God and we love his children. This is the true mark of the Holy Spirit in
our lives - hearts transformed by love.
Pray
Lord I'm not always that good at loving your children. Help me more I pray.
