Revelation 21:5

Some Christians shy away from the book of Revelation. They find the vivid imagery and symbolic language confusing, fictional, or too violent. But make no mistake. God calls us to read and take to heart the words the book contains. (Rev. 1:3) Because the Lord Himself promises that every one is trustworthy and true. And far from just containing doom and gloom, Revelation reveals the wonderful plans of God. Plans to renew and restore all of creation. To transform the world to its original perfection, including us. For in our new God given glorified bodies, we will dwell on the new earth in the new city of Jerusalem. One day soon the Lord will return. God’s promises will be fulfilled. Death and evil will be conquered forever. And as followers of Jesus, we get the great honor of ruling and reigning by His side forever as part of God’s perfect new creation.

1 Peter 3:9

I love the quote, “The best revenge you can give an enemy is by showing them true love.” When someone wrongs us our first instinct is to retaliate. But when we do, we become no better than the one who acted against us. And as satisfying as it may feel to exact vengeance, it never changes the heart of the the one who hurt us it only changes ours. As followers of Jesus, revenge isn’t an option. For we are called to pronounce blessings upon those who hurt us. Betrayed by even those He loved, Jesus had every reason to get even with those who scorned Him. Yet Christ chose love over vengeance. And we are to do the same. To break the cycle of retribution, replacing it with love and forgiveness. Doing so not only brings healing and reconciliation, but blessings from God for our obedience and faithfulness.

Matthew 5:13

Not only a call from God, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ is a blessing we as Christians get to have. And oh what an honor it is to experience the joy of leading another to a saving relationship with the Lord. But currently, the world in which we live is hostile to God and His teachings. Yet a world desperate for His saving grace all the same. And with the Lord’s soon return upon us, it’s important that we be the salt and light to a flavorless, rotten, and darkened society. How? To be the salt means to flavor the world with joy, love, and positive influences. While preserving and protecting what is good and right. To be the light means exposing the darkness and evil of Satan and his lies. Putting a spotlight on what is true and right. By shining our lights on God’s path to salvation, we bring the Lord’s assured hope of everlasting life to those who are lost and in despair. And how awesome is it that the Lord lets us work hand in hand with Him in growing His kingdom!

Romans 12:9

In a world that grows darker with each day, now more than ever, we need to love one another. And not with a superficial, conditional, hypocritical love, but with a true Christlike love. Because as God tells us, love covers a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8) And love is our greatest defense against evil. For we know that Satan is the ruler of this world. He fills it with all kinds of wickedness. So our best defense is cling to God. Cling tightly to His goodness and love, and each morning put on His infallible armor! (Eph. 6:10-18)
