The Wellspring of Life

"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart

that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

Romans 10:9

Today's Bible Reading: Romans 10:1-12.

The heart is the blood-pump of the body. It is also used metaphorically when we speak of affections and feelings. Since it is the central organ of the body and one of the most vital, the Bible speaks of it as the wellspring of life. Hence, it is used synonymously with “life.” When the Bible says, “Son, give me thine heart” (Proverbs 23:26), it does not mean that we are to cut out our actual hearts and give them to God. It means that we are to give Him our lives, our all. When we come to Christ, we are not only to give intellectual assent with our minds, we are to “believe in our hearts.” We can believe in the historic Jesus Christ, but if we have “saving faith” our belief must involve our whole being. When we believe with all our hearts, the will, the emotions, and the intellect are surrendered fully to Christ.

Prayer: Lord, I believe and rejoice in the knowledge that You are alive and my Redeemer! Amen.

The Book of Life

". . . He has set His love upon me . . . " 

Psalm 91:14

Today's Bible Reading: Revelation 20:11-15.

The “book of life” refers to the heavenly record of all those people over the centuries who have trusted Christ as their Saviour, and have followed Him as Lord. Some day, the Bible says, its pages will be opened, and all those whose names are found there will have the right to enter heaven.

If you have given your life to Christ, your name is already written there. Furthermore, Jesus Christ has promised that if you belong to Him, nothing will ever be able to remove your name from its pages. He declared, “I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels” (Revelation 3:5). That promise should be written on the heart of every believer!

But what about those who have not turned to Christ in repentance and faith, and have rejected Him as their Lord and Saviour? The Bible is very clear in its answer, their names are not written in the Book of Life — and as a result, they have no hope of heaven. In Revelation 20:15. the Bible solemnly warns, “And anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”

But there is Good News: God loves us, and Jesus Christ came to save us and give the gift of eternal life to all who put their trust in Him! Have you done that? If you have not done so, do not turn your back on Jesus Christ, but by a simple prayer of faith ask Him to come into your life and save you — and He will.

Prayer: Almighty and loving God, than You for the Book of Life, and thank You, that because of my faith in You Son, my name is in the Book of Life. I bless You, in Christ's name Amen.

The Miracle of Life

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,

so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Hebrews 11:3

Today's Bible Reading: Psalm 19:1-3.

There is a language in nature that speaks of the existence of God. It is the language of order, beauty, perfection, and intelligence. Some years ago an Oxford scientist told me that when he gave serious thought to the majestic order of the universe and its obedience to unchanging law, he could not help but believe in God. He had become aware that God was speaking through nature. 

God speaks in the certainty and regularity of the seasons; in the precision of the movements of the sun, the moon, and the stars; in the regular coming of night and day; in the balance between man’s consumption of life-giving oxygen and its production by the plant life of the earth; and even in the cry of a newborn child with its ever-new dimension of the miracle of life. 

Prayer: The beauty of this day will be a constant reminder of the magnificence of You, my God. I Praise You, In Jesus name. Amen.
