Introduction
In today’s reading, believers are warned to ignore false teachers who deny that Jesus was really a human being. The writer describes how believers can distinguish between God’s true Spirit and a false spirit. Verses 7-21 provide a comprehensive reading about God’s love and Christ’s command to love others.
Scripture Reading
1 John 4:1-21
Today’s Key Verse: 1 John 4:16b
God is love, and those who live in love live in union with God and God lives in union with them.
Reflect
Today’s reading reminds us that God is love. What is the key teaching in verses 19-21? How do you experience God’s love? In what ways do you share God’s love with others?
Pray
Holy God, you are indeed love. Thank you for showing your love for me and all people through the love of Jesus. Help me to love others as I seek to live in union with you. May your love be perfected in me. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 John 5:1-21: Faith in Jesus gives believers true victory.
