ABIDING LOVE!
1 John 4:15 – Devotional
1 John 4:15
“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.“
Saving faith is far different than a mere “hope so faith,” that is shallow and based upon feeling rather than the eternal and abiding Word of God. For almost all of my life I have rested in the reality that God’s Word says it, I believe it – – that settles it!
Back in my days as a Juvenile Probation Officer, the Judge I worked for told me that the juveniles I supervised would lie even when it would be easier for them to tell the truth. I thought he was just being cynical, but I learned he was right!
The words that flow from our mouth may confess that Jesus is the Lord of our life, but are they only words? True faith is far more than mere words. True faith can be left standing when our world seems to crumble.
I have relied on Psalm 23:4 at the most devastating moments in my life and have found it true; “Yes, even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me.” Praise the Lord His abiding love has always been with me and will always be with me!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
