- February 4, 2023 | Romans 3:25
Imagine that you are given an accounting ledger with your name at the top. In the negative column is everything you owe God—your sins carry the penalty of death. You can never do enough good deeds to repay that debt. How can you balance your account? Then you hear about God’s offer of forgiveness. Jesus paid that penalty by dying in our place. When we put our faith in Him and accept God’s gift of eternal life, our debt is canceled!
A Conversation with February's Devotional Author
From the Editor
Hello friends,
Have you ever tried to drive on a dark and foggy night? Even the high beams on your car have trouble cutting through the darkness. It is frustrating not to see where you are going. Sometimes our faith journey feels that way.
But in 1 John, we are told that God is light and, when we walk with Him, we not only benefit from His light but reflect it to others! In 1 John 1: 7, we read, “If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son, purifies us from all sin.”
Do you need God’s light on your path? If so, we invite you to this month’s Bible study on 1, 2, and 3 John.
Author Bradley Baurain returns with his Bible study titled Walk in the Light s to guide us through these important letters written by a disciple who walked with Jesus. John’s message is filled with life and hope and will help you navigate even the darkest days.
But, before we begin, please join us for a YouTube conversation. We just posted our February video!
Like you, I’m looking forward to a month of soaking in God’s light!
