1 John 5:13-15 (ESV)
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of
the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 And this is
the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to
his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we
know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
What do we know is certain? We all have a deep desire for
certainty. People search in different areas of life just to find out something
for sure. As you look at God’s design for our lives, true certainty comes from
only one thing. Hebrews 11:1, the Bible defines faith as being sure of what we
hope for and certain of what we do not see. Isn’t it amazing that the one thing
God told us we can be certain of, an eternal life through Christ, is something
we can’t physically hear, see, or touch?
What we do have is a promise in His Word. Authentic
believers live this life certain of one thing: we can overcome this world
through Christ believing that our eternity comes from knowing Him.
Why not today devote your life to the truth. Though we
cannot truly predict what the next hour will bring, we know the One who holds
the future. His name is Jesus Christ. The more we trust that, the more it will
be evident in everything we do. When it's true in our hearts, our actions can't
help but begin to follow. Jesus tells us the greatest commandments are to love
God and to love others (Mark 12:29-31). From this day forward, declare to live
your life with these commandments at the top of the list as you become the
authentic follower of Christ.
Dear Lord, we thank You that You are the truth. Help us to devote
our life to You completely starting today.
In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
