Reading – 1 John 3

Highlight Verses:

“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

You knew I would gravitate toward the action verses, didn’t you?

Doing good actions and avoiding bad actions not only prove our faith, but they put us in a better position to receive from God.

We will more easily receive instructions from God as they won’t be drowned out by the distractions of the world.

We are also more likely to receive physical blessings from God as they often flow out of doing the right thing.

Finally, we will receive eternal life and the blessings stored up by a life lived with eternity in mind.

So, while I am not legalistic, I wholeheartedly support righteous action.

How can you show the truth through your actions today?
What blessings have your positive actions allowed God to release to you in the past?
