Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread,"
As you go about your work and your life today, can you sing for joy? Or are you worried about your standing with God, fearful of the judgment, perplexed as to what God thinks about you?
If you trust your feelings, your emotions, you will be up and down, you can be discouraged. Your emotions are like a foundation of sinking sand. You need a foundation of solid rock. That foundation is the cross of Christ.
God did not say, “I will so love the world that I will give my only begotten Son IF, IF, IF … they do everything just right. The Bible does say, “For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son …” He already loved, He already gave His Son for you, for the world is you. (That is John 3:16, by the way). You are the one God loved and gave Christ to save. He has already redeemed you; He has already adopted you into His family. The Holy Spirit has already been given to you to convict you of sin and of righteousness and of judgment, because Satan has been defeated.
Yes, your heart can sing for joy! You have been elected to eternal life, and God is your Friend, your heavenly Father, your Savior. But does that mean that you and I can now live a life of disobedience to God’s law? No, of course not; but it does mean that this faith will work by love and will produce in our lives total obedience to God’s law. The Holy Spirit will convict you, will prompt you, will guide you today. Listen to Him, and let Him hold you by the hand.
The Good News is that God cares about you personally today. Tell Him, thank You!
