God cannot be known as we know a machine, an idea, or a tree, which we are able to “objectify.” He is truly known only in relationship.

Since the beginning of time, humanity has yearned for love that is short of perfect. The kind of love we want and which we spend a lifetime pursuing. But there’s a kind of love that we need, and that love has pursued us all along. A love fully demonstrated by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. This Bible plan will help readers draw closer into God’s everlasting love.

The past few years have shown us an ugly side of humanity thanks to a perfect storm of politics, pandemics, and protests. Still, this plan reminds us that when we are truly human, as God designed us, we are compassionate, kind, and loving people who want to help those around us. In this devotional, we will look at five ways we can be the humans Jesus calls us to be.

Do you feel inadequate showing compassion to the hurting, or those different from you? Do you long for the opportunity to teach your children compassion but struggle to find a way? Beginning with God’s Word and Jesus’ example will help. Compassion is mentioned over and over in Scripture, depending on which translation you are reading. Let’s look together to see how compassion and mercy are callings for us all.

John, the last living apostle, wrote a Gospel. And it seems some people were distorting it. John writes to believers caught in the aftermath, bringing clarity and commentary on what he wrote. He shows them what it looks like to be people of light and life instead of people of death and darkness. This plan takes us through 1 John and how to live in the face of distorted Christianity.

1 John 4:7-21 teaches us much about the love of God. The Apostle John gives us the gospel’s definition of God’s love, and he reminds us of how, through the gospel, God permanently displayed His love to us. In this passage John also reminds us of how the gospel empowers us to demonstrate to God, and to others, this love of God in our own Christian lives.

God made us to be light in a dark and confusing world. Our insecurities or false ideas of what “witnessing” means sometimes make us forget that sharing God’s light is a joy, not a burden.
