Essential

The early church was saturated with false teachers. To gain a hearing, they devised clever stories that would appeal to their listeners. To the intellectuals, they philosophized. To the emotional, they told stories that grabbed the heart. To the spiritually naive and immature, well, anything worked with them. False teachers always skipped a significant doctrine (or two), but they could sure draw a crowd, so Peter made it clear that his message about Jesus was as an eyewitness.

God’s love is amazing! While we cannot fully grasp its depth, we seek to understand as much as we can. A. W. Tozer explains God’s love in his book The Knowledge of the Holy. I’ll summarize the thoughts of the great theologian in today’s devo. 

As believers, we have to constantly check our hearts and make adjustments and changes in our lives to demonstrate that we follow God alone.

Ask God to help you read his Word every day (or keep reading his Word every day).

God’s love is something believers need to understand, accept, and apply.

Everyone follows someone or something. As believers, we have to make sure the one true God holds that central and essential part of our lives. There is no one like Him in heaven above or earth below. Make the adjustments and changes in your life to demonstrate you follow Him alone.
