STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: 1
John 5:3
“For this is the
love of God that we keep his commandments.
And his commandments are not burdensome.” God’s
commandments are not burdensome, but that’s only true for Christians precisely
because we know that we are not saved by our keeping of the Law. We are saved by grace. Therefore we are set free by grace to walk in
newness of life, to grow in faithfulness, and rejoice in the Law of the Lord:
for the love of God is that we keep His commandments.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
