May 20, 2025 HAS GIVEN UNDERSTANDING
1 John 5:20 “And we know that the Son of God has come, and He has given us understanding, in order that we might know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”
We did not find God; He revealed Himself to us while we were yet in darkness. How blessed we are that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding that we might know Him. Not only did He give us understanding, He has placed us in Himself. Being given the understanding to know Him and being in Him is the greatest gift we could ever be given. We did not achieve this on our own; it is a gift from God and a work of God in us. The philosophy of the world is based on lies; just one example of the lies of the world is that we need to be about getting the things we want and doing the things we like in order for us to be ‘happy.’ Just as we are blessed to have been given understanding, we also have come to know the truth as the truth is in Jesus, and we are in Him. Even though we are surrounded by the lies of the culture, we can live a life based on truth. So, let us know that we do not have to live in confusion, doubt and fear because we have been joined to Christ and He has given us understanding. May we be about pursuing an ever increasing understaning of what it means for us to be in Christ.
John 8:12 “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’”
2 Corinthians 4:6 “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
