The Gospel of Jesus Christ:
God is holy.
We are sinners.
Our sin deserves judgment.
We cannot save ourselves.
But Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, died for sinners and rose from the grave.
Repent of your sin.
Believe in Christ.
Trust in Him alone.
There is forgiveness for the guilty, peace with God, and eternal life in Jesus Christ.
That is good news.

If you're going to believe the parts of the Bible that talk about the Savior's love, then you must also believe the parts that talk about His judgment against sin.

WEEK 2 — Pruning & Correction (Sep 7–13)
7. September 7 (Monday)
Dear Daughter,
The vinedresser does not prune the branch he hates — he prunes the branch he expects much from.
If correction has come into your marriage this week, ask first whether it's rejection or investment. Usually, it's the second.
Pruning hurts because it's preparing for more, not less.
'Every branch that bears fruit he prunes' (John 15:2).
What correction have you mistaken for rejection, when it was really investment?

Mormonism and biblical Christianity do not worship the same God.
The Bible says God is eternally God, uncreated, and there is no God before or after Him (Isaiah 43:10).
Mormonism teaches that God the Father was once a man who progressed to godhood (source: Joseph Smith's 1844 "King Follett Discourse").
Those two beliefs cannot both be true.
This is not a minor denominational disagreement. It is a fundamentally different doctrine of God.

Anger and bitterness will rot your soul from the inside out. Do not let the sun go down on your anger. Ask the Lord to help you forgive as he forgave you.

The Church did not create the canon of Scripture. It recognized it.
Men did not gather centuries later and decide which books they wanted to make "the Bible." God's Word was authoritative because God inspired it. The Church received, recognized, and preserved what God had already given.
"The word of our God will stand forever." (Isaiah 40:8)

Believing in God but not obeying Him is exactly what demons do.
“You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror (James 2:19)!”

Christian, God doesn't love a future, perfect version of you. He loves you right now as a sinful wretch.
Yet he also loves you too much to let you stay there. He will faithfully and diligently grow you more and more into the image of Jesus over time.

September 8: Resilient Hope and Red Herrings
#Devotional
Joel 3:1–21; Acts 7:54–8:25; Job 19:1–12
The death of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, must have crushed and discouraged the early church. But in this event Luke shows us glimmers of hope. He reminds us that God is working behind the scenes.
Facing death, Stephen prayed for his persecutors, asking that God “not hold this sin against them” (Acts 7:60). God answered that cry of mercy in a generous way. As we watch Stephen being forced out of the city and stoned to death, Luke introduces us to another character present in the crowd: “The witnesses laid aside their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul” (Acts 7:54).
This detail seems like a red herring, but by introducing Saul (later Paul) to us before his conversion, Luke gives his readers hope in desperate circumstances. Saul was determined to squelch this dangerous new sect coming out of Nazareth, but soon Paul would become its greatest advocate. By placing Stephen’s death alongside Saul’s persecution, Luke shows that the church is resilient. Stephen was a source of encouragement and godly leadership for the church. Similarly, and in spite of his beginnings, Paul would expand the influence of the Church far beyond the expectations of its first followers.
In the end, Paul’s presence at Stephen’s stoning is not an irrelevant detail at all. God already had plans to use Paul’s life to further His kingdom work beyond Jerusalem and into the nations of the world. Paul’s conversion would be one of the greatest testaments of God’s saving work, demonstrating that God works to gather His community in ways we might not see. Even when circumstances seem grim, He is active behind the scenes, ready to use characters in His grand narrative for His good purpose.
How can you turn to Jesus for hope in your hopeless circumstances?

September 8 - The Nature of the Incarnation
#LifeOfChrist
“The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
John 1:14 is the most concise biblical statement of the Incarnation. The first four words, “the Word became flesh,” express the reality that in the incarnation God took on humanity; the infinite became finite; eternity entered time; the invisible became visible (cf. Col. 1:15); the Creator entered His creation. God revealed Himself to man in the creation (Rom. 1:18–21), in the Old Testament Scriptures (1 Cor. 2:7–14), and, supremely and most clearly, in Jesus Christ (Heb. 1:1–2).
Jesus Christ, God’s final “Word” to mankind (Heb. 1:1–2), “became flesh.”
That He actually “became” flesh affirms Jesus’ full humanity.
When John says He became flesh, this does not mean Christ ceased being the eternal Word when He became a man. In the Incarnation the unchangeable (Heb. 13:8) God did become fully man, yet remained fully God. Think of it—He entered the realm of creatures who are limited by time and space, and experienced life as it is for those He created.
No wonder Paul wrote of the Incarnation, “By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, was vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory” (1 Tim. 3:16).
Ask Yourself
Is the doctrine of Christ’s incarnation merely a subject for scholarly textbooks and sermons? Or does it have bearing on the everyday of every man and woman? How does the Incarnation affect your life and cement your salvation?
