Light, love and truth come from God

and are available for each one of us

A beautiful flower, a newborn baby, the creatures in the sea and on the land all refer to the work of God and speak to us of His eternal power and divine nature. He gives men life, and His desire is for us to seek Him, acknowledge Him, and realize we live in Him, and for Him.

Read about this in the

New Testament of the

Holy Bible: Acts chapter 17 verses 24-31.

God has a purpose and plan for each person. Because of His love for us, He gave His one and only Son as a sacrifice on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin. All have sinned. We are forgiven and have a right relationship with God when we accept by faith that the shed blood of Jesus Christ purifies us.

Jesus came into the world as the Light. Some choose to stay in darkness, but whoever lives by God's truth comes into the light, and his life reflects what God's love has achieved through him.

Choose light. Respond to God's love and truth with a desire to live to please Him. Read from the New Testament of the Holy Bible: John 3:16-21 and Romans 3:21-26.

The words of Psalm 139:13-14 relate a prayer of thanksgiving that God created our inmost being, knitting us together in our mother's womb. We praise Him because we are wonderfully made.

Salvation, eternal life with God, is a gift from God, not earned by our good works. But we are created to do good works which God has already planned for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10

If we obey His word, God's love is made complete in us. I John 2:5 The Holy Bible offers the Word of God. We live in light when we learn what is pleasing to God and, by the grace of God and the help of the Holy Spirit, live as He desires. By this, we show our thankfulness for His love. A summary of God's love, light, and truth can be found by reading the letter of I John (five chapters found near the back of the New Testament.)

Prayer
Father God, strengthen me by Your Holy Spirit to welcome Jesus Christ into my heart by faith. Help me know Your love and presence. Thank You that Jesus died on the cross, taking the punishment for my sins. Jesus be the Lord of my life as well as my Savior. You have a plan and purpose for me, and I want to fulfill my part. By Your Holy Spirit, teach me what You want me to know, do, say, and pray. Amen.
(Prayer adapted from the words in Ephesians 3:14-19)
