Love Is Greatest

Image 12-7-13 at 4.24 PMThis Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
(Romans 1:17 NLT)

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless. (1 Corinthians 13:7-10 NLT)

Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
(1 Corinthians 13:12, 13 NLT)

“Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked.But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.
(Habakkuk 2:4 NLT)

And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.” But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction.
We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.
(Hebrews 10:38, 39 NLT)

So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
(Galatians 3:11 NLT)

Daily Verse:
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
(1 Corinthians 13:13 NIV)


Studying The Word

I recently have been on a journey to increase my spiritual maturity, by changing my personal time in the Word. I am connected in several ways; discipleship group, care team, and recently a manuscript study.

All for a desire to draw near to our faithful Savior. I pray daily that I am open completely to what my God is teaching, directing, and blessing me.

Thank you God for saving me!

Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions. (Proverbs 18:2 NIV)

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” (Romans 1:16, 17 NIV)

God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. (Romans 2:6, 7 NIV)

God Bless You,

Discipleship

By Grace Through Faith

8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

18 For through him we both have access in plantone Spirit to the Father.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.”

Ephesians 2:8-10, 13, 18-22 ESV

Peace be with all you Disciples,

Loving Others…

Brothers and Sisters,

I pray for all of us to continue growing in God’s Word and strengthen our own spiritual maturity. To see and act on God’s will for us in each of our stories.

“Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.” – Hebrews 6:11, 12 

Have a blessed day on our journey.
