Chapter 4 is the best chapter of John thus far. We are fortunate to serve a Lord that allows us to challenge and promises he will persevere as our God. As we challenge our faith through the study of scripture and with a searching heart, we begin to understand God's love for us. A love that is ultimate and above comprehension. But rather than hold that understanding of love in a high esteem, we are to allow it to overflow from us into the world.
If we understand such love, the God of all creation is living in each and everyone of us. With power like that in me, nothing can hold us back. John explains that the power of the love of God living within us will hold fast so strongly that it will conquer all possibilities of fear. Without fear you will see followers of Christ flood the world with the truth. A truth that God lives for them and in them. The opportunity is theres for the taking just as it was ours and no one has been made exempt.
I pray this truth pours out of me and into the lives of others. I pray that I understand the love of Christ in a way that I cannot be bound by fear any longer. I pray the world sees the truth through the work Christ is doing in my life.
Tomorrow is Day 20, chapter 5.
God Bless,
Nick
