Reading your Bible for Today May 30

May 30: 1 John 1:1-4

KJV Key Verse: 1 John 1:2
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

Devotion:
The one thing we must never forget is that each of the books of the bible were written by people who were witnesses to the wonders of God, be it through God the Father, God the Son or God the Holy Spirit. We have written testimonies that Jesus Christ did live, why He lived, that He died and why He died, and that He rose again and why. What other proof should we need other than written proof?

Scepticism comes from one source and one alone. It comes from the one who is fighting a battle which he has already lost. So instead of giving up peacefully, he is going all out to try and persuade as many people as possible that the written word which we have is not real. He is giving ammunition to the people who would rather not fight the good fight. He is doing all he can to spoil as much as possible before he faces up to his inevitable end.

We are lucky. We know that God created us and everything around us. We know He has given us the eyes, heart and spirit with which to experience His Word, Love and companionship. He has given us all we need to fully realise that we are a marvellous creation and He is our Creator. He even sent His Only Son to this world to be born, to teach, to guide and to ultimately die on the cross for our sins. Christ even rose from the dead to defeat Satan once and for all. We now have the Holy Spirit who is able to dwell within each of us who believe in Christ... And all of this is written down so that we can learn about it using everything He has created and believe in it knowing that we are created. All of these things are written so we can find Joy and comfort through Him and not have to worry about the traps of this world which is now full of sin...

Points to Ponder:
Do you believe all your school text books?

Are you willing to learn from The Master?
