IN HIS WORD
Scripture: John 8:31-36
Devotional:-"Then Jesus
said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My
disciples indeed". v.31 NKJV
A disciple of Jesus is not the one who come to just hear the word of God. They are rather those who abide or stay with the word of God. The desire of a disciple of Jesus is to be like Jesus. This is loving the way He lives. This is patterning our lives after the life of Jesus because of the great encounter we have with Him (Matthew 17:4)
In the scripture we read today, Jesus show
us the way to becoming His disciple. This is by abiding in the word of God. It
is staying with the word till we have good understanding. It is meditating on
the word till we encounter the revelation of what God is saying (Psalm 1: 1-3).
By this we will be able to live as He lives.
Friend, to abide in the word of God
takes strong discipline and commitment to the word. This is by willingly taking
the word, meditate and live according to the word (Joshua 1:8). This is when we can have the best of God
(Isaiah 1: 19) Discipleship is cultivating the life of Christ through the word
of God. The word of God form our inner person to be like Christ when we stay
with it. This is when we can reflect the image of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18).
Peace.
Prayer: Lord, put the love of your word in my heart.
