1 Timothy 1:16
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His immense patience as an example for those who would believe in Him and receive eternal life.

No one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy. It might feel like you’re one of the worst sinners, but Paul wants to remind you that if God can show him mercy and grace, then you can trust that He will do the same for you. And now that you’ve experienced that mercy and grace, make sure you share it with others.

Galatians 6:8
Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Just as a farmer reaps what he sows in a harvest, we too experience the consequences of our choices. But the seeds you sow aren’t things you can hold in your hand, they’re pursuits that you make with your heart. And in this life, you can either pursue things that lead to death or you pursue things that lead to eternal life. Which will you choose today?

1 John 5:13
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you will know that you have eternal life.

Can you know without a shadow of a doubt that you’re going to heaven? According to John, yes, you can! So, take the words hope-so or a maybe-so out of your vocabulary, because when you put your trust in Jesus, it’s an absolute, know-so that heaven is your new eternal destination.

Jude 1:21
Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

What would change in your life if you really believed every moment of every day that God loves you? You might throw away your nightlight, you might wear the clothes you actually like, or you might start dancing like no ones’ watching. Because when you know you’re loved, fear simply disappears.

Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song, saying: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, and with Your blood You purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.

Heaven will be a place of worship filled with people that will look very different from you. They’ll be from every tribe, every nation, and they’ll speak every language. And as you get to meet each person and hear how God changed their lives, you won’t be able to stop praising the One who, right now, sits at the right hand of the Father. He is worthy to be praised!

Psalm 59:16
But I will sing of Your strength, in the morning I will sing of Your love; for You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

Mornings are for the birds. And when they wake you before your alarm with their musical melodies, it can make you want to be kind of grumpy. But the reason they’re singing is to remind you that that’s what you should be doing. Because God gave you another day to live, another day to love, and another day to share the Good News that Jesus saves! How can you not sing?
