What Is True Love?

DAY 4 OF 12

Our Response to the Gospel

No matter how familiar or foreign the gospel may be to you, take inventory and slowly and prayerfully meditate on the gospel. We have selected Scriptures and a reading that will help you. Ask the Lord to bring the gospel to bear upon your mind and heart with great clarity, power, and tenderness.

We want to see Jesus and His sacrifice and see our hearts and ourselves as God sees them. We don’t want to be deceived. The gospel is not merely an intellectual exercise; it is an issue of the heart.

Consider the power of the gospel in your life and its impact on you. Continue to do this over the next few days. Then look at your calendar and mark a day and time, a week from now, when you can spend 15-20 minutes thanking God and celebrating all that He has done in your life through the gospel.

As you meditate on the gospel, make sure that you are being totally honest with yourself and totally transparent with the Lord.

Tell the Lord where you have doubts, questions, indifference, a hard heart, a sense of apathy, or even general unbelief. There is nothing to fear when we are in Christ. He promises us that if we confess our sin, He is faithful to forgive us (1 John 1:9).

What Is True Love?

This plan from Thistlebend Ministries explores the biblical meaning of love and how to love God better and love others.
