ਮੱਤੀਯਾਹ 5:13

Jesus beskryf die identiteit en roeping van sy volgelinge in die bergprediking (Matteus 5:13-16). Hierdie verse beeld gelowiges uit as "sout van die aarde" en "lig vir die wêreld". Dit is metafore wat wys op invloed, teenwoordigheid en getrouheid in 'n wêreld wat geestelik donker en moreel vervalle is. Jesus maak dit duidelik dat sy dissipels nie net vir hulself leef nie. Hierdie vierdagleesplan sal jou help om die oorspronklike konteks van hierdie kort maar kragtige gedeelte beter te verstaan en ook hoe dit vandag nog op elke gelowige van toepassing is.

What truly matters is loving God and loving others, but how do we do that effectively? The truth is, we can’t love people well in our own power. But when we look to God and lay ourselves down in humility, we can live from God’s authentic and powerful love. Learn more about growing in love in this 5-day Bible Plan from Pastor Amy Groeschel.

If Jesus were on board with every idea His followers have staked His claim in, then He’d be one incredibly confused Son of God, always at odds with Himself and overly busy leading the charge for both sides of every debate. Thankfully, Jesus speaks for Himself. You can read His words in this new Life.Church Bible Plan to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, Things Jesus Never Said.

This 7-Day devotional plan helps you take hold of God’s call in your life. Find and fulfill your calling as you establish your identity as someone known, loved, and called by God. Readings are drawn from the book Know Your Why by Ken Costa.
