Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we're looking at scriptures which talk about Jews and Gentiles alongside a passage about love. The first scripture each day follows this outline: 
Days 1-6 - The Foundation & the Prophets
Days 7-10 - Jesus and the Nations
Days 11-19 - The Early Church & the Gentiles
Days 20-30 - God’s Plan for Jews and Gentiles United in Christ
Day 31 - The Final Reminder of God’s Global Kingdom. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

Love

  • The nature of God, but not an emotional love; rather a love that is expressed in positive action.
  • God’s love (agape) is expressed in the ways He gives to His people.
  • He has demonstrated His unfailing love for all mankind in sending His Son to die on the cross for them, so taking upon Himself the punishment they deserve.
  • God’s love is expressed in all He does in relation to His people, even when He needs to refine and discipline them.
  • His love is imparted to the hearts of believers by the Holy Spirit.
  • Believers are to love God wholeheartedly, their neighbours as they love themselves and one another in the same way that Jesus Christ has loved them.
  • Those who truly love Jesus obey His commands.
  • To love others with His love is to live for them rather than for yourself; to lay down your life for them by seeking to bless, serve, encourage and give to them in practical ways.

Acts 14:21-28

21-22There a large number became disciples in response to their preaching. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch where they strengthened the believers, encouraging them to remain true to the faith. "We must persevere through many trials and hardships to inherit God's Kingdom," they told them.Apostles appointed elders23Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for each church. They prayed for them after a time of fasting, entrusting them to the Lord in whom they believed.24Then, passing through Pisidia, they arrived in Pamphylia.25-26They preached God's Word in Perga before moving on to Attalia, from where they sailed back to Antioch, the city where they had been entrusted to God's grace for the work they had now completed.27So when they arrived there they called the church together, reporting all that God had accomplished through them and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.28Then they stayed with the disciples in Antioch for a prolonged time.

Isaiah 63:7-9

7I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the Lord has done for us—yes, the many good things he has done for Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses.8He said, “Surely they are my people, children who will be true to me”; and so he became their Savior.9In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them.In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
