Devotion:
Read John 3:16-17.
There’s an old saying that goes, “actions speak louder than words.” God’s words can be trusted because his words always match his actions. God doesn’t just say he loves us; his actions demonstrate his love.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16 & 17
God loves us! That is the triumphant message of the Bible. That is the greatest message we will ever receive. Thankfully, however, this message is not just words. God wanted us to know his love for us, so he demonstrated that love at great personal cost. He sent his only son to sacrifice his life for us so that we can have eternal life.
We want to make sure our words of promise are followed by our actions. We might ask ourselves, “What are my actions saying?” Let’s commit to follow Jesus and then make sure our actions reflect that commitment.
Personal Worship Option:
Prayer: Father, thank you for sending your son to die for me and make it possible for me to have eternal life. I ask your forgiveness for my sins and yield my life to you. I seek to please you in all my thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. Thank you for loving me and guiding me in all the circumstances of my life. In Jesus’ name, amen.
