Day 37
Welcome to Day 37 of the 40day180!
What does God’s Word say the most important commandments are based on Matthew 22:36-40? What do we fulfill when we choose to walk in the love of God based on Romans 13:8?
When we walk in love even when we are shown hate, we are being a light to those around us (John 1:1-5). This is how we push back darkness in our lives and in those around us. We cannot overcome evil by doing evil. We must overcome evil by doing good (Romans12:21). When we react in evil, we are allowing the darkness to overtake us. Choose to do the Word of God in ALL circumstances, and we will begin to see our lives change which will also impact those around us (1 Corinthians 15:58). While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. When we are shown hate and we respond in love, we exhibit Christ to the world. (Romans 5:8).
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Romans 12:1-2 – 1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
