Obeying the Gospel

Daily Motivation to Act on Our Faith

The Knowable God (February 18)

Can God be known? Yes, He can. God has, in Jesus Christ, made it possible for us to know Him (John 1:18; 17:3). Sin robbed us of the truth about God, but in His Son we can regain that knowledge — and knowing our Creator, we may truly live.

Like a Lamb (February 17)

The portrayal in Isaiah 53 of Jesus’ silent, lamb-like suffering is part of the depiction of what would happen to the Messiah as He underwent the punishment for our sins. Nothing else like that death has ever taken place in the history of the world.

With His Wounds We Are Healed (February 16)

All of the phrases in Isaiah 53 say what many other Scriptures affirm: the Messiah’s death was vicarious. He suffered FOR us — substituting Himself on our behalf at the bar of God’s justice and agreeing to take the penalty for our sins.

Despised and Rejected by Men (February 15)

When God entered the world as a human being, He did so in very lowly circumstances. He wanted those who would be attracted to the gospel to be people who were looking for forgiveness — rather than “niceness” as the world perceives niceness.

Appeal to God for a Good Conscience (February 14)

Immersion in water wouldn’t produce the forgiveness of sins if somebody did that in a rote, mechanical way, with no genuine penitence or faith in Christ. Nevertheless, Peter says that baptism saves us — and we need to understand what that means.

Beginning with This Scripture (February 13)

In Acts 8:34-36, the Ethiopian saw that Jesus fulfilled Isaiah 53. Then he concluded that Jesus, as the Messiah, was his Savior. Next, he listened to how the gospel must be obeyed. And then finally, he asked to be baptized, and then rejoiced!

Diligently Seeking God

Daily Motivation to Take God More Seriously

Worthy to be Loved (February 18)

We must delight in God’s holiness. We are to love Him because He is our Creator, simply for His own sake. Love’s joy has to do with giving, not getting. The moment our main focus shifts from the Beloved to ourselves, true joy begins to disappear.

Worthy to be Praised (February 17)

The sense of rightness and goodness present in moments of real worship ought to tell us that the adoration of God fills a very deep need within us. We have been made such that praising God is as much a joy to experience as it is a duty to fulfill.

Glory and Grandeur (February 16)

God’s majesty is displayed in every work of His creation. There is nothing about the natural environment that God has designed to surround and support us that does not show His greatness — if we have eyes to see and hearts to understand.

The Ultimate Paradigm (February 15)

“It is impossible to keep our moral practices sound and our inward attitudes right while our idea of God is erroneous or inadequate. If we would bring back spiritual power to our lives, we must begin to think of God more nearly as He is” (Tozer).

An Important Redefinition (February 14)

We need to redefine our personal concept of what greatness is and where it comes from. It is nothing less powerful than God’s gentleness that can make us great. And when it has done so, our own gentleness will be the strongest part of our strength.

God Not Only Gives, He Graciously Receives (February 13)

Whatever we give is only a giving back to God — nevertheless, it is true that we are able to give of ourselves to God. And although our gifts fall short of the perfection He deserves, the wondrous truth is that God is still ready to receive them.

Reaching Forward

Daily Motivation to Move Ahead More Steadily

Tempted to Switch Goals (February 18)

We need to see sin for what it is: a worshiping of the wrong god. Not many of us would want to be known as idolaters, but that’s what it comes down to when, at the devil’s urging, we exchange God, our hearts’ true desire, for anything else at all.

Hard Times (February 17)

When we talk of “hard times,” we should be careful. For all the hardship we face from a shortage of life’s necessities, we face an even greater challenge when we suffer a surplus. If we’re not careful, our character will weaken in times of affluence.

No Other Entrance (February 16)

Do we really want our hearts to be adjusted to God’s holiness or not? If we do, there is a price to be paid and a discipline to be submitted to. We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom. There is no other entrance, no easier entrance.

Desiring the Process (February 15)

It’s a foolish waste of time to always be looking for shortcuts. Today is how we get to tomorrow! And if today is difficult, as it often will be in this world, we ought to do more than tolerate it. We ought to taste it deeply and give thanks for it.

The Highest Use of the Human Mind (February 14)

Our actions spring from our thinking — and if our thinking were to be filled with the adoration of God, just imagine what the result would be! Our deeds would be drawn toward Him with a force that all the evil armies of hell could not stop.

God Is Not Neutral Toward Our Needs (February 13)

Whatever God expects us to do, He will help us to do. And help with those things is what we ought to desire, more than we desire His help with lesser concerns. In anything related to the gospel of Christ, we needn’t worry about coming up short.
