Evidence

July 28th – 1 John 2:6

1 John 2:6

None of us is perfect, and God doesn’t expect us to be. He knows our weaknesses, our failures, and the battles we face every day. But while God doesn’t call us to perfection, He does call us to pursue Christ. Because if we say we belong to Jesus, our lives should increasingly reflect His character.

Walking like Jesus doesn’t mean we will never stumble. It means that when we do, we confess, repent, get back up, and keep following Him. It means choosing humility over pride, forgiveness over bitterness, kindness over anger, and obedience over compromise. As we spend time abiding in Christ, His Spirit gradually transforms us from the inside out.

Our relationship with Jesus should be more than words we speak on Sunday. It should be evident in the way we live, the way we love, and the way we treat others every day. Anyone can claim to know Christ, but a life that consistently grows in obedience, compassion, and love is the evidence that He truly lives within us.

We will never walk perfectly this side of heaven, but by God’s grace, we can walk faithfully. And every step taken in obedience brings us one step closer to becoming more like the Savior we love.

November 30 – 1 John 5:11

1 John 5:11

I am thankful that the evidence of the gospel is all around me

Evangelist Ray Comfort wrote, “Atheists who keep asking for evidence of God’s existence are like a fish in the ocean wanting evidence of water.” When witnesses testify in court they swear to to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth. But unfortunately we know that people and their promises can’t always be trusted. That’s not the case with God. We can trust that He is always true, honest, and faithful to keep His word. Throughout the Old Testament we read the glorious testimony of God promising a Messiah who would come to save the world. And that promise came true with the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And the evidence to back it up? God Himself, Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the internal witness of the Holy Spirit. All testify that Christ is the One and only Son of God. And those who reject this testimony are in fact calling God a liar.
