Faith & Love: A One Year Bible Reading Plan - Part 2

DAY 2 OF 20

As we read Philippians 2, let's focus on verses 1 and 2.

Right off the bat, Paul writes: "if there is any encouragement and comfort in Christ," which we know there is, "then dedicate yourself to a life of love. Spreading the good news in a manner that is worthy of love and the calling God has placed on your life."

As I studied these verses, I thought to myself: "If there were not to be any comfort in Christ or any encouragement and fellowship in the Spirit. If these cease to exist, then what are we doing? Is life a big pile of endless nothing? Are the good things that sometimes happen just blips on the radar, coincidental moments where we just happen to experience something different?"

No, I don't believe that is true. And Paul doesn't either.

Life is not pointless. Let’s choose to live a life of love, knitted into our communities, displaying a life of abundance in Christ Jesus.

Love announced that God is not done with this world and that it matters.

This place we call home, the soil, and oceans, rivers, and the existence of life, all matters.

Redeemed, restored, and renewed.

Let’s live as ambassadors of love.
