—1 John 3:18-24
by: Andrea Pozo.
Hearts are broken and disappointment happens when we teach bits and pieces of Scripture outside of their context. “And whatever we ask, we receive from Him” (v.22) is one of those all-time favorite parts of a Bible verse. But what does the context refer to—obeying His commandments and living a life pleasing to Him. Do you want to be one who remains in the Lord and enjoys the blessing of having Him remain in you? Let your actions speak louder than your words! That is what the love that comes from the Lord should look like in our lives: loving our neighbor in actions and not just with words and keeping His commandments so that our lives will be pleasing to Him.
