You are loved

“See what love the Father has lavished on us in letting us be called God’s children! For that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it has not known Him.”
1 John 3:1 CJB

We who are saved are totally loved by the Father, but realize with that said the world still hates us! Understand with the love of the Father we should have a desire to know and follow the LORD!

“Everyone who keeps sinning is violating Torah-indeed, sin is violation of Torah (God’s instructions).”
1 John 3:4 CJB

Torah isn’t designed to save us, it’s designed to help reveal our sins so we can confess them and be forgiven!

“No one who has God as his Father keeps on sinning, because the seed planted by God remains in Him. that is, he cannot continue sinning, because he has God as his Father.”
1 John 3:9 CJB

Today, let’s rejoice in the fact that God has not only saved us, but He has given us His word to know how to walk in His ways! Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

Know the LORD

“Anyone who says, I know Him, but isn’t obeying His commands is a liar-the truth is not in Him.”
1 John 2:4 CJB

We can’t say we love God, then do what we want or live in an ungodly or wordly manner!

“If you love Me, you will keep My commands; and I will ask the Father, and He will give you another comforting Counselor like Me, the Spirit of Truth, to be with you forever.”
John 14:15-16 CJB

The LORD really wants us to live by His ways and His commands, found in His Word! All we have to do is read His Word, call on His name and ask for His help and He will direct our steps!

“I treasure Your word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”
Psalm 119:11 CJB

Today, let’s be looking to the LORD for everything, turning from the world and its messes! Also, be careful of false teachers sharing a false gospel!
Have a blessed day walking with the LORD!

Acknowledge

“If we acknowledge our sins, then, since He is trustworthy and just, He will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.”
1 John 1:9 CJB

The key here is acknowledge our sins, not point out other’s sins, but acknowledge ours! It’s easy for all of us to see someone else’s sins and ignore our own. Be careful!

“If we claim we have not been sinning, we are making Him out to be a liar, and His Word is not in us.”
1 John 1:10 CJB

Also, be careful of people who claim to be believers and don’t acknowledge sin or wrong doing, claiming they are all right. Just walk away from them!

“Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows.”
Galatians 6:7 CJB

Today, let’s not get weary when we see people sinning. Know God will deal with them! Instead, let’s be in prayer about everything and anything!
May your day be richly blessed in Him!

Shine light

“The LORD is not slow in keeping His promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, He is patient with you; for it is not His purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from His sins.”
2 Peter 3:9 CJB

The good news is the LORD keeps His promises, every last one of them! He is calling us home soon as He promised, but it is only those who repent and call upon His name! The LORD desires all people to be saved, but anyone who is walking in sin will not, we must turn from sin!

“But if you will not do this, then you have sinned against Adonai, and you must understand that your sin will find you out.”
Numbers 32:23 CJB

God is deadly serious about sin. We need to repent, we need to avoid it and we also need to call it out!

“Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows.”
Galatians 6:7 CJB

Today, realize, we can’t get away with anything with the LORD. He will expose it one way or the other and He does use people to reflect His light on sins! So let’s be reflectors of the light of the LORD today!
Have a blessed day in Him!

Be careful of false teachers

“In their greed they will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their punishment, decreed long ago, is not idle; their destruction is not asleep!”
2 Peter 2:3 CJB

Unfortunately this happens in the body of believers today, preachers sharing fabracated stories to exploit the body of believers! These teachers should know better and believers need to be aware!

“For God did not spare the angels who sinned; on the contrary, He put them in gloomy dungeons lower than Sh’ol to be held for judgment.”
2 Peter 2:4 CJB

These verses are a great warning to be on guard for wolves and be mindful of using God for greedy gain! Sadly there are many wolves in sheep’s clothing today!

“At that time many will be trapped into betraying and hating each other, many FALSE PROPHETS(teachers) will appear and fool many people; and many’s people’s love will grow cold because of increased distance from Torah.”
Matthew 24:10-12 CJB

Today, let’s embrace the warnings the LORD has given us and be encouraged in His amazing love!
Have a blessed day in Him!
