“Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7). Knowledge alone isn’t enough if it never results in embracing the truth of the gospel; a person can continually accumulate information while remaining spiritually unchanged. Genuine growth occurs when God's truth moves from the mind into the heart and transforms the way we think and live.

“For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:21, NLT). Jesus took upon Himself what belonged to us so that we could receive what belongs to Him—right standing with God. Our righteousness isn’t based on our performance but on our union with Christ.

“And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death” (Exodus 19:12). The Mosaic Law resulted in awe of God but also a strictly enforced distance from Him. In contrast, through Jesus Christ, believers now have confident access to God because His finished works removed the barrier that once separated humanity from Him.

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed” (Romans 13:11). Time has a spiritual urgency, and believers must live with a sense of expectation. Every day brings us closer to the full realization of our salvation; therefore, complacency has no place in the life of faith.
- September 20
“And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). Repentance is more than feeling sorry for sin—it’s a change of mind that leads us to place our trust in Christ. When our thinking changes, our lives begin to reflect the reality of God’s kingdom.
- September 19
“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death” (Romans 8:1, 2, NLT). The freedom that God’s grace offers us isn’t something we strive to earn, but something we receive by faith. Living with this understanding empowers us to walk boldly in the liberty Christ has provided.
- September 18
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2, NLT). God changes our lives by first changing the way we think, enabling us to reject the world's patterns and embrace His truth. Aligning our thinking with His Word better equips us to recognize His will and experience the peace and wisdom that come from walking in it.

“Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes” (Ephesians 1:4, NLT). God's plan for our lives began long before we were ever born. He chose us in Christ based on His love and grace, not on our works or qualifications.
- September 16
“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while” (1 Peter 1 6, NLT). Life brings us more than our share of trials; suffering doesn’t negate God's promises but becomes part of the process through which faith is strengthened and refined. We can endure hardships with confidence because our ultimate hope rests in God's eternal salvation.

“God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant” (Romans 5:20, NLT). This highlights both the seriousness of sin and the surpassing greatness of God's mercy. Instead of leaving us condemned because of our sins, He responds to our need with an overflowing supply of grace through Jesus Christ.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life” (Romans 5:17, 18).
We were born into this world as sinners because of something we had nothing to do with. We therefore are justified and made righteous saints in God’s eyes not because of what we do, but because of what Jesus did and our belief in it.
July 10
“Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law” (Galatians 2:16, NLT).
People who are still living under the Mosaic Law struggle uselessly to do right by God. Now that Jesus has died on the cross and been raised from the dead, our faith in Him enables us to live right; this is why it’s vital to avoid the pitfalls of undeveloped faith.
July 9
“For we will be counted as righteous when we obey all the commands the Lord our God has given us” (Deuteronomy 6:25, NLT).
Under the law, man was considered righteous when he performed perfectly, as defined by following a long list of rules and regulations. Under grace, righteousness is now measured by faith, not by works.
July 8
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38, 39).
Everyone has an innate need to be loved. God’s love is perfect and unconditional; it fills an empty space in us that the world, with its imperfect, conditional love, simply can’t.
July 7
“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 5:5, NKJV).
After we get born again, the first act of the Holy Spirit is to pour God’s love into our hearts. The Spirit living in us, constantly reminding us of God’s love, mercy, and compassion for us, gives us hope when life gets painful.
July 6
“If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it. But when God found fault with the people, he said: ‘The day is coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah’” (Hebrews 8:7, 8, NLT).
The old covenant of the law was impossible for man to keep, because it was demanding, unforgiving, and made no provision for human imperfection. The old covenant’s “Thou shalt not” warnings constantly reminded the people of their sins; by comparison, God’s new-covenant “I will” promises focus on faith in His grace.
July 5
“The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship” (Hebrews 10:1, NLT).
Although the law was perfect and holy, its sacrificial system was only able to provide temporary forgiveness for man’s sins. God therefore decided to replace the law with grace; this required a one-time, perfect sacrifice of Jesus’ body and blood.
July 4
“Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit” (3 John 1:2, NLT).
Wellness is defined as the quality or state of being in good health, especially as an actively-sought goal. The “actively-sought goal” of this definition deserves attention, because this goal has already been attained for us through the finished works of Jesus Christ.
July 3
“And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately” (Acts 9:33, 34).
It’s not God’s will that we tolerate sickness; He therefore gave us the same healing power that He gave to Jesus Christ. We have the same ability to get results that the apostles had.
