1 John 2:5&6 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
What an incredibly encouraging passage! God has given you His Word to know Him and to transform you into the person He has created you to be! As you increasingly keep His Word to follow The Way, God’s love will be increasingly perfected in you! Wow! You can grow to become more and more like Jesus!
God wants you to know and not wonder that you are in Him and following The Way. If you are off course, He wants you to be aware of that so that you can take steps to come to the life He offers and ‘adjust your course’ – The Way you are living. The self-test He provides is: If you claim you abide in Him, your life should be characterized by that – by living like Jesus. A life lived on mission, loving people and leading them to a life found in Him, lived with Him, and lived for Him.
So… how does your life look?
There is a big opportunity in an honest answer!
Prayer: Father, help me to live as Jesus lived, to follow The Way, humble, obedient and loving. Amen.
