Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Philemon 1:17

Deeper Into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God's Word daily and deeply. We have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading takes us deeply into the Word of God, increases our understanding and draws us closer to Him.

Infinitum is a way of life centered on following Jesus by loving God and loving others through an emphasis on the habits and disciplines of surrender, generosity, and mission. We aim to see the Bible and also the world through these Jesus-colored lenses. In this short Infinitum Discipleship series reading plan, we focus on spiritual guidance.

This devotion taken from Book of Philemon will equip you with biblical truths and guide you to practice it daily as you continue your walk of faith in Christ.

A slave named Onesimus escaped from his owner, Philemon, and met the Apostle Paul in his Roman prison, who then led him to Christ. After learning about Onesimus’ wrongdoing against his master, Paul wrote this letter to plead with Philemon to forgive Onesimus. Reconciliation with people who have wronged us is difficult sometimes. May this letter encourage us to let go of our bitterness and renew our relationship with them.

The Apostle Paul wrote Philemon, which provides a beautiful example of forgiveness and reconciliation. Paul entreats Philemon to forgive his servant Onesimus, who had stolen from Philemon and then ran away. Onesimus is not just a servant but a brother and fellow follower of Jesus. The book of Philemon reminds us that Jesus reorients all our relational priorities, cultivating forgiveness and reconciliation towards all people.

In this short epistle, Paul reminds Philemon of his faith in Christ and his love for the saints. He then asks Philemon to welcome Onesimus, his runaway slave, despite the risks. Paul concludes with the rewards of a response of faith and love: Christlikeness, koinonia, and community. This three-day plan will challenge you to practice faith and love in more profound ways.
