Dan's Den
Continuing in Christ, part 3 in the series, "The Message of Life."
Dear Church Family and Friends,
What is the preeminent quality that God wants to characterize your relationship with Him? With others? Jesus made his new commandment clear to his followers. The Apostle John had been deeply impressed by the priority of loving God and others. This single theme comes out over and over in his writings. Continuing in Christ and being confident when he comes back to this world requires a radical realignment of our hearts in God's love.
John writes that we must internalize this relationship restored as God's children. It's who we are in Christ! As God's children, we receive this wonderful quality of unselfish love. It leads us on a path of purity and seeking what is right. The example of Jesus' unselfish love will change the manner of our relating to others, especially our brothers and sisters in God's family.
It will be immensely practical and helpful to others around us in need. As God's children, we can know that we are not condemned and can have confidence to keep his commands and pursue what pleases Him. May that reality be reinforced in your heart this Sunday!
Love and prayers,
Pastor Dan
