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.

Romans 10:12-21

12-13In the matter of faith there is no difference between Jew and non-Jew. The same Lord Jesus is Lord of all and willingly gives His rich blessings to all who turn to Him, for it is also written: "Everyone who calls on the Lord's name shall receive salvation."14But how is it possible for people to turn to Jesus if they do not believe who He is? How can they believe if they have never received revelation of the truth? And how will they ever hear unless someone tells them about Him?15And who will the Lord send to open their eyes and hearts to the truth? It is written: "Those who bring the good news to others have beautiful feet."16Sadly, not all Jews were prepared to accept the good news. No wonder Isaiah said: "Lord, who has believed the message You gave us?"17Faith in the truth can only come when you have heard the truth, and that truth is contained in the words of Christ.18I ask myself whether they truly heard. Then I realised that they certainly did because God's Word is now being proclaimed everywhere around the world.19I cannot help wondering whether the Jewish people understand the truth they heard. After all, God spoke through Moses by saying: "I will make My chosen nation jealous because of those who do not form a nation. I will make you angry because revelation is given to people who have no understanding of Me!"20He says through Isaiah: "I was found by those who were not searching for Me; I made Myself known to those who did not even enquire about Me."21Yet Isaiah also tells us that God said: "I have continually held out My hands to My people, but they have been disobedient and obstinate."

Psalm 145:8-13

8The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. 9The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.10All your works praise you, Lord; your faithful people extol you.11They tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might,12so that all people may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.
