King James Version KJV

Galatians 5:25

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

 ‭English Standard Version ESV

Galatians 5:25

If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

Walking in the Spirit

What doe it mean to walk in the Spirit?

• If we walk in the Spirit it is impossible to fulfil the lust of the flesh, this is because the two are incompatible, like light and darkness the light causes the darkness to disappear instantly.
• What does it mean to walk in step with the Spirit? It requires sacrifice on our part, walking in victory is my preferred term, which can only be achieved completely through Jesus, the scripture say's That I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
• It also requires Praise from our hearts and lips, and Oh what joy floods the soul of the believer who worships.
• We do ourselves a tremendous disservice walking in the flesh, for it is a battleground that only one man has ever conquered His Name is Jesus; it is only through Him alone that we can become more than conquerers!  All  Glory belongs to Him. 
• There is so much more to life when you walk in the Spirit, it is the way of Joy unspeakable and Full of Glory, a place where the living waters flow freely, a place of abundant Life. A place where flesh no longer has dominion.

King James Version KJV

Acts 10:43

To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

‭English eStandard Version ESV

Acts 10:43

To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

Fully Forgiven

Imagine a grand choir echoing a single anthem. Each distinct voice adds to the chorus, creating a symphony filled with anticipation. Their melody spans generations; they sing of a Saviour whose name brings forgiveness and hope!

This song of eternity is described by Peter: “All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name” (Acts 10:43 NIV).  

The prophets, whose ancient voices echoed God's plans and purposes, stood as witnesses to this ultimate promise: Christ’s forgiveness isn't just a possibility—it's a reality for all who believe. 

As believers in Jesus Christ, we can find encouragement standing on the foundation laid by these prophetic voices. We stand assured that through the name of Jesus, forgiveness is granted, and reconciliation is made possible with God and others. But we’re not onlookers! We are active participants in this grand choir, singing with hearts full of gratitude, hope, and confidence in the unifying power of Christ’s forgiveness.

Jesus paid the price for your past, present, and future. What would it look like for you to fully embrace this forgiveness for your sins?

King James Version KJV

John 1:12

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name

 ‭English Standard Version ESV

John 1:12

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

You are Known

When we decide to follow Jesus, we’re given a new life in Christ. But what exactly does that mean? 

Jesus came and died for everyone who ever lived — that’s us — and when we give our lives to Him and make the choice to follow Him, we get a new life in Him. We get adopted into His eternal family, with all the rights that go along with that. 

When we say “yes” to Jesus, we are choosing to believe everything about Him is true. We’re agreeing that He lived a perfect life, died for us, and rose from the dead. When we believe this, we are adopted into God’s family as His children. 

Being God’s children means we get unlimited, constant access to God’s presence, love, and authority. And the great news? No one can separate us from God. 

We don’t receive new life as God’s children from our parents or earn it from our good deeds—it’s something God freely offers us. He alone has the authority to adopt us into His eternal family, and He promises to never leave or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6). 

At the moment of our adoption, our old identities no longer matter. Every unkind name we were given, every mistake we’ve made, every hurt we’ve experienced (or caused)—it’s all erased. Our identity, security, and future are now rooted in the God who loves us and died for us.  

Take a few moments right now and reflect on that. If you belong to Jesus, you are not alone. You are known by the Creator of the universe who calls you His child, knows you by name, and loves you unconditionally.

King James Version KJV

1 John 4:9

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

 ‭English Standard Version ESV

1 John 4:9

In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

The Great Love of Jesus

Love is the beginning of everything. You and I have life and breath at this very moment because God loves us. God created us because He wanted a people to love, and we are the recipients of His great love.

In 1 John 4:9, John tells his readers that the primary way God showed His love toward us is through Jesus. Even while we were considered enemies of God, He sent Jesus to earth on our behalf. While Jesus was on earth, he lived a sinless life as a representative of humanity to God. His death and resurrection made a way for us to be forgiven of our sins and begin a relationship with God.

God now gives us His love freely. There is nothing that we can do to earn His love, and there’s nothing about us that deserves His love. This is why John says love comes from God (1 John 4:7).

Love is our greatest responsibility in life. Jesus made it very clear to His disciples that loving God and loving others are the two greatest commandments. But the basis for all of this is the love of God through Jesus.

John tells us in 1 John 4:7-8 that those who truly know God will also love others. Our relationship with God is the model for how we should love other people. We should never deny someone something we’ve been freely given. And since we have freely received love from God, we should also freely give love to others.

Consider some ways you can love the people around you. Sometimes simply spending time with people is the best way to love them. There might also be someone you know who needs encouragement, or help meeting their needs. Think of one or two things you can do this week to show love to someone in your life.

King James Version KJV

Matthew 5:14

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

 ‭English Standard Version ESV

Matthew 5:14

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Light It Up

Picture it: a big city with tall buildings, a hilltop village surrounded by vibrant farms, an oceanside community on top of a giant bluff. 

Cities are impressive on their own, but they’re undeniably radiant when they’re high upon a hill. And they’re extra brilliant when they’re saturated with light.

Speaking to the crowds and His disciples in His famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus told them:

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.”

Matthew 5:14 NLT

As He continued His message, Jesus explained, like a city on a hill or a lamp on a stand, “Let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father” (Matthew 5:16).

Jesus often used metaphors to get people thinking, so here are six things to consider as you reflect on that verse:

1.    It’s all His: We are only a light when we have THE light—His light—shining through us. Anything good is first given by Him, and this should empower us with humble confidence.

2.    We’re chosen: We can’t do anything to earn the honour and responsibility of being a light-reflector, but it's a title that's been given. This title is self-evident—because of who God made us and called us to be.

3.    Don’t hide it: God’s light inside of us cannot be hidden. When we’re truly following Him, it is obvious and undeniable. So we can boldly and unashamedly shine brightly for Him.

4. Light it up: While we don’t want the world around us to grow darker and darker, the Bible teaches that it’s inevitable. And yet, His light will shine best in the dark.

5.    No more darkness: Christ's followers are meant to be beacons of light, illuminating God’s truth and shining His love. Whoever follows Jesus will never walk in darkness (John 8:12).

6.    Compelled to worship: The purpose of carrying this light isn’t to draw attention to ourselves, but to compel others to worship God. The global Church is meant to be the brightest light the world has ever seen, and you get to be part of that city, the Church. 

Though the sun may sink beneath the horizon and the world may become increasingly dark, the glory of such a city cannot be missed.

King James Version KJV

Psalms 139:14 

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

 ‭English Standard Version ESV

Psalms 139:14 

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

Made for This

Do you realise that you were purposefully, lovingly, and carefully designed by God?

King David said it like this:

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”

Psalm 139:13-14 ESV

Your eyes, brain, heart, muscles, organs, nerves, fingernails, eyelashes, and smile. 

Not only are you wonderfully complex, but you were also planned before life as we know it existed by your Heavenly Father. 

Even as you read these words, your body is doing some incredible things—without your conscious consent. Your fingers are scrolling, your eyes are capturing, your brain is processing …

All the while, your heart is pumping blood, your lungs are managing breath, your eyelids are blinking away dryness, your glands are producing saliva, your blood cells are multiplying by the second, your brain is directing your body while simultaneously storing memory—and so much more.

David also points out in other portions of Psalm 139 that God knows everything about us, His presence is inescapable, and He thinks about us so much that such thoughts cannot be numbered.

The point? You have been uniquely and intentionally created by God—to love Him and the people around you, to know Him and to make Him known.

So, be encouraged. You were made for this.

King James Version KJV

Romans 3:23-24 

for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

 ‭English Standard Version ESV

Romans 3:23-24

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

Say “Yes” to What Matters

Peter sat in grief and darkness. He had publicly denied knowing Jesus just before Jesus was crucified. And for a couple of days, Peter had to process his guilt without expecting it to go away. But on the third day, Jesus’ tomb was found empty and the stone rolled away. 

Not long afterward though, Peter was out in a boat with several other disciples doing what he was trained to do before he met Jesus: fishing. 

It’s as he’s doing this that Jesus appears. But instead of letting Peter continue to live with the shame of his past, Jesus pulls him aside and asks him a question that propels Peter into his purpose: 

“Do you love me?”

Three times Jesus asks Peter this—one for each time Peter denied him. This wasn’t a passive-aggressive question: Jesus was inviting Peter to reaffirm the relationship he’d previously denied. 

Every time Peter responds with, “Yes Lord, you know that I love you,” Jesus re-commissions Peter by calling him into the role of church builder and shepherd. 

Jesus’ resurrection meant that Peter didn’t have to be defined by his mistakes. He could still embrace the call on his life and become the leader Jesus knew he could be. 

Like Peter, you also have the opportunity to say “yes” to loving Jesus and being loved by Him. No matter how dysfunctional your life looks, or how far from Jesus you feel, there is nothing that can separate you from His love. 

Your past mistakes or current problems do not dictate your purpose when your life is rooted in Christ. 

God has given each of us access to a free gift we don’t deserve: a free gift that is available when we choose to love God and receive His relentless, sacrificial love for us.

The resurrection reassures us that no situation or mistake is impossible for God to redeem. There is no fear Jesus cannot conquer and no life He cannot heal. No darkness can stand against the power of the risen God who conquered death on our behalf. 

There is nothing our God can’t do, and no one our God can’t redeem. 

Today, say “yes” to Jesus and allow Him to reveal His deep, unending love for you.
