Day 3

We begin this week in Romans 13:8, as God had Paul write to us telling us that we should owe no one except to love one another and to seek the best for all. God goes on and has Paul write, “for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.” We’ll unpack what fulfilling the law looks like in tomorrow’s devotion as we cover Romans 13:9. But ...

God continues to teach us about submission, but now He shifts to us being submitted to His commandments. Now, though God had Paul list specifically from the Ten Commandments in Romans 13:9, God made sure to include this statement, “and if there is any other commandment,” making sure that there is no mistake to what He is telling us all. We ar...

God is so gracious and merciful toward us as we learn to walk in total submission to Him and His Word. Be sure to thank Him daily for His grace and mercy because we would all be judged harshly without them.

So, God ...

As we continue from yesterday’s devotion, God tells us in Romans 13:12 that this present evil age is almost finished. Remember that this was written about 2,000 years ago, and as the first readers received God’s Word, there was an excitement that Christ’s return was near. God is eternal, and as His Word says in 2 Peter 3:8, But do not let thi...

God continues today from Romans 13:12, as He told us to “lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.” As we choose to live for our Lord, God tells us in Romans 13:13, “Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.” We must not ge...

God has taught us a lot this week, which all boils down to being submitted to Him as our Lord. We must trust in His sovereign will even when we cannot understand it. When we submit to Him, we are putting our faith into action. Faith is what destroys all of the flaming arrows of the spiritual forces of darkness (Ephesians 6:16). As we finish t...
