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.

Galatians 3:6-14

6-7In the same way that Abraham was considered right and acceptable because he believed God, know that those who believe now are the true sons of Abraham.8The scripture foresaw that God would make the nations acceptable to Him by faith, and so the gospel was preached to Abraham long ago by saying that "All the nations will be blessed by you."9Therefore those who have faith are blessed together with Abraham, who also had faith.10Those who depend on obeying the religious law are under a curse, for it is written, "Everyone who does not obey everything written in the book of the religious law is cursed."11So clearly no one can be made acceptable before God by the religious law for "those who are right before God shall live by faith."12But the law is not based on faith. It depends on what a man does, not what he believes.Access to the blessings of Abraham through Christ13Christ has saved us from the curse of not being able to obey the law perfectly by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed."14In this way, He brought us back to God so that the Gentile nations might receive the blessings of Abraham through Christ Jesus, and that we might receive by faith the promise of receiving God's Spirit.

2 Corinthians 5:14-17

14It is our love for Christ that compels us to action.15But if He died for all it means that those of us who have received His risen life should no longer live for ourselves, but for the One who died and was raised again for us!16So from this point onwards we will not assess anyone by worldly standards. We used to have a very worldly view of Christ, but that is no longer the case.17Now we are sure that if anyone is in Christ, made one with Him by their faith in Him, then that person is a new creation. The old person he was has died, is buried and finished with – gone forever. Now he has become a new person.
