Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 8 March 2020 – What Manner of Love
TOPIC: What Manner of Love
SCRIPTURE: 1 John 3:1-10
MESSAGE: The world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life(John 3:16). Verse 1 of our text captures this in another way, “…what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” To be called a child of God is the highest honour one can ever get in life. It is a very great privilege and should not be toyed with(John 1:12).
Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 8 March 2020 – Lent reminds us of the sacrifice of Christ to redeem man from his sinful habits. God so loved The devil is never happy with anyone who understands this love of God and accepts it. He ensures that such a person derails, by enticing him to sin. The writer declares that he who sins is of the devil and the person must have neglected the love of God. The Son of God was manifested to destroy the works of the devil(v.8).
Beloved, the decision is yours; to accept the love that God offers through His Son- Jesus Christ – or to follow the deceit of the devil and be doomed. Moses told the Israelites to choose life (Jesus) and be saved than choose death (the devil)(Deut. 30:19). SONG: What manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us (2x), that we should be called the sons of God (2x).
PRAYER: Thank you so much dear Lord, for this unquantifiable love You have bestowed upon me.
