Living in God’s Love
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
1 John 5:1
Receive God’s Word
Today’s passage, 1 John 5:1, draws our attention to receiving God’s love and extending it to others.
Reflection
The love of God is meant to move through us. When we receive His mercy deeply, we become freer to forgive, serve and show patient kindness to the people around us.
Read the passage again slowly. Ask what it reveals about God, what promise or instruction should be received, and what response of faith it calls for today.
Gospel Connection
God’s Word leads us to trust His saving purpose, revealed fully in Jesus Christ. We do not respond in our own strength; we receive His grace, follow Him and allow His life to be seen through us.
Put It Into Practice
- Write one truth from this passage that you need to remember.
- Turn that truth into a personal prayer.
