For Saturday, March 18, 2023:
1 John 2:6 NLT: “Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.”
Those living a Christian life adopt Jesus’ value system. Jesus taught us right from wrong, good from bad and love from evil. The Old Covenant taught an eye for an eye, but Jesus demonstrated forgiveness and redemption in the New Covenant. In fact Jesus’ main mission in coming to earth was to forgive mankind’s sins and to bring us closer to God. God desires to see each of us in the life after this life!
Understand that the task for our redemption is already completed. We are saved by the work Jesus did on the cross. We follow Jesus’ commands not to earn ‘heaven points,’ but out of love and gratitude for the gift Jesus gave us, eternal life in the presence of the Father. Stick with Jesus and everything will be OK!
If everyone would pattern their lives after Jesus, the whole world would be better!
