For you have been born again but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal living word of God.
-1 Peter 1:23(NLT)
ETERNAL LIVING WORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you give your life to Christ
You will be guided in your daily life
The eternal living word of God transforms
It makes you stronger to go through storms.
You have been born again when you received him
As a result, your heart and mind were cleaned
Your new life with Christ will last forever
God sent his only Son to be our Redeemer.
I didn’t totally comprehend what “born again” meant many years ago. Coming from a religion that didn’t explain much about what it meant to be born again, all these things were hazy to me. One day as I was studying in my bible online course about being born again, God revealed to me how much he loved me and why he sent his son to save me and cleansed me from sin. From God’s word, the concept became truth. I realized how much God loves me.
The bible tells us that when we become born again, we will be given a life that will last forever because it comes from the eternal living word.

PRAYER
Lord, keep revealing yourself to me through your word.

October 26                                                                       The Power of God’s Word
You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart. – 1 Peter 1:23 (NLT)
LOVING OTHERS WITH ALL YOUR HEART
A poem and essay by ILMA
As soon as you obeyed God’s truth, you are set free from sins
Leave your sinful nature and don’t look back where you’ve been
God is love and he created us to be like him
Walking in love is the surest way to be redeemed.
You are cleansed from sins if you believe that Jesus died for you
Love each other deeply with all your heart and you’ll reap the Spirit’s fruit
Show sincere love for your sisters and brothers in Christ
When you love others genuinely, you will gain wisdom and insight.
Perhaps the word “love” is the most misused and abused word in the human vocabulary. Love is viewed romantically and lustfully by many. The enemy has blinded everyone to think that love is about mushy feelings and physical attraction.
The bible tells us that God is love and that is why God sent us his only son to cleanse us from sin and be reconciled with him. He expects us to love others with all our hearts just as he loves us so much.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to walk in love always.
