Today's scripture: 1 John 2:25
I love this verse! One of the first verses I memorized–one of the first verses
most children memorize–is John 3:16. As I said yesterday, sometimes we who’ve
known Jesus for a while can take our relationships with Him for granted. The
same can be said of Bible verses we may have memorized years (or for some of
us, decades) ago.
John 3:16, written by the same John whose book we’re focusing on now, reminds
us of the core of the gospel. God loves us so much, He had a plan for our
once-for-all salvation. God the Son, Jesus, came to earth to die for us, to pay
the penalty for our sin. And that’s awesome … truly.
But that’s not the end of the story for us.
We’re promised another awesome thing: eternal life with our Lord and Savior.
Eternity praising Him. Eternity worshipping Him.
That’s a promise Jesus Himself made. And that’s a promise you can trust.
