God wants us to understand what He has already given us, so that we could fully benefit from His love and grace.
==========================
Scripture
1 John 5:13
“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.”
Observation
John didn’t write this letter so that we would have eternal life. Rather, this letter is written so that those who believe would know what they already have.
The implication is that if I don’t know what I have, then I cannot fully benefit from having it.
Application
I want to fully benefit from everything that God has given me! I don’t want to slog through life, trying to figure out a solution that God has already provided. I don’t want to tremble through life, fearing that which He has already conquered!
This week, I choose to dig into God’s word and learn the magnitude of what He’s done for me and what He’s given me.
Prayer
God, thank you for your incredible generosity in how you bless me. Thank you for all you’ve done for me! Teach me the full measure of your blessings, so that I could fully appreciate all that you’ve given me.
