May 23, 2015: 1 John 5:9-13


1 John 5:9-13

9If we receive human testimony, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has testified to his Son. 10Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony in their hearts. Those who do not believe in God have made him a liar by not believing in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son. 11And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

Reflection:
I was at a worship service one time where a young college aged girl got up to give a testimony.   As she went through her story it kept going and going.  45 minutes later…she had finally finished.  Its not that what she said was awful or anything. It was just too long and after awhile the testimony was lost.  We get caught up in our own details of life and lose out on glorifying God.  I think this is what this scripture is calling us to remember.  God’s testimony is the best.  God gave us new life by sacrificing Jesus.  How would our life change if we lived this out daily?

Reflection Questions:
Morning: When have you gotten caught up in details and forgotten the testimony of God?
Noon: What is your testimony about what God is doing in your life?
Evening: How have you lived out this love daily?
