More Truth and Action from 1st Peter in the Spirit Filled Life Bible.

Cultivating Dynamic Devotion

“Devote yourself to loving Jesus, even though you cannot see Him. Loving and believing in Him with Faith releases unspeakable joy and glory in your life. Spend time studying thee Old Testament prophecies about Jesus and their fulfillment in the New Testament. Realize that angels long to look on these things and that studying the Bible is a privilege. Worship Jesus; praise and honor Him. Faithfully glorify the lord even when you know you will face persecution, remembering that the Spirit of glory and of God will rest on you in the midst of your suffering.

Action

Deeply love and believe in Jesus, even though you cannot see Him.

Interpret the Old Testament with the revelation in the New Testament. Study the messianic prophecies in light of their fulfillment in Jesus’ life. Worship the Lord as you see the miracle of who Jesus is as revealed in the Scripture

Come to Jesus. Honor and worship the precious, Living stone – the chief cornerstone on which our life of faith and the church is built.

Understand that you are part of God’s chosen and special people, the church. Therefore, praise Him, who brought you out of the darkness of sin and death into the light of freedom and life.

Glorify Jesus even amid intense persecution, joyfully know that you are sharing in Jesus’ sufferings. Understand that when you are insulted and despised, the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.”

As human beings when we make the decision to except Jesus as our Savior, we are asked to do something we are not really taught to do and that is to believe in something or someone we can’t see. It’s not an easy thing to do, yet when you except Jesus as your Savior and He comes into your heart immediately something changes for me I immediately believed in Jesus and knew He was real. You can’t just study the New Testament, in order to get the whole picture of Jesus and why He came to earth in the flesh you have to study the Old and New Testament prophecies. Pray, worship, and study the Scriptures to show yourself approved. We are a chosen people God called you and He is waiting for you to respond by excepting Jesus as the only way to heaven. Be thankful that you were called out of the darkness of sin and death. Praise Jesus for the life and freedom He has given us. Remember through the sufferings you may have, Jesus is with you, He knows what you are going through because He has been there. The Spirit of Glory and of God rest on you. God bless you and keep you.

May The Peace of God Rest on You,
