We are children of God (1 John 3)
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1) If you have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are a child of God! We often tend to take this statement lightly but let’s try to go deeper…

Remain in Him (1 John 2)
As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life. (1 John 2: 24-25) If you have known him and accepted Him (Jesus) as your Lord and Savior I pray…

Thankful for the cross (Galatians 6)
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.

The Righteous Will Live By Faith (Galatians 3)
In chapter three of the book of Galatians, Paul is talking to the Galatians reminding them that they received the Spirit by believing what they heard and not by the works of the law (Galatians 3:2). I believe this is due to the fact that they were pursuing things that were keeping them away from…

Are You Bold Enough To Stand Up For Your Faith? (Galatians 2)
I felt like today’s devotional’s title should be a question because I have been asking myself this same question. Am I bold enough to stand up for my faith? I know I love God and I am so grateful that He made himself known to me; I honestly don’t know if I would still be…

Paul was previously called Saul and he was one of the most important figures of the Apostolic age as he founded several churches in Asia and Europe and contributed a lot in spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ. The book of Galatians was written to…

Today, we will talk about Philippians chapter 4, which is the last chapter of the letter written to the church of Philippi by Paul while he was in prison. Overall, the chapter spoke to me about the peace of God. Let’s start with the first verse which is: “Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom…
