TODAY'S WORD FROM THE LORD


"If you love Me, you will keep my commandments," John 14:15.
"Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus" (Revelation 14:12).


The great issue of life is not telling God we love Him, but demonstrating our love for Him through true obedience to His Word. Churches, as well as Christian, may profess their love for God, but when they embrace doctrines, teachings and practices that are contrary to His Word, they lie and do not speak according to the truth. God will not be mocked; neither will He be deceived.


Father, keep us steadfast in your Word! Teach us to love you as you have loved us. Send your Holy Spirit into our hearts, that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify You Holy Name! Through Your Son, our Savior, Amen.
