GIVES LIGHT TO EVERY MAN / JOHN 1:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 1:9

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

GIVES LIGHT TO EVERY MAN / JOHN 1:9

Christ reveals who God is and shows the way to God. He Himself provides the means of having a personal relationship with God. H makes His message of forgiveness and new life understandable to the human minds of those who hear it by giving them enough grace (undeserved favor, spiritual ability) and insight. Therefore, with understanding they may freely choose to accept or reject His message. Apart from this light of Christ, there is no other light by which we may see the truth and be spiritually saved (John 14:6).

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 1:2

The same was in the beginning with God.

WITH GOD IN THE BEGINNING / JOHN 1:2

Christ was not created; He is eternal and infinite – without beginning or end – and He has always been in loving companionship with the Father and the Holy Spirit (Mark 1:11).

THE WORD / JOHN 1:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

THE WORD / JOHN 1:1

John begins his Gospel (his account of the “good news” and true story of Jesus Christ) by calling Jessus “the Word” (Greek logos). By using this title, John presents Jesus as the personal Word of God through who God spoke all things into existence (John 1:3; Genesis 1:3; Genesis 1:6, 9; Genesis 1:14-15; Genesis 1:20, 24). The Bible also reveals that God has spoken to us by His Son (Hebrews 1:1-2; Hebrews 1:3); and Jesus Himself declares that His own words are directly from God (John 8:28; 14:24). It is also written in the Bible that Jesus Christ is God’s wisdom for us in every way, helping us to understand and accomplish God’s purposes (1 Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 3:10-11; Ephesians 3:10; Colossians 2:2-3). Also, the Word describes Jesus as the perfect revelation and representation of the Father’s nature and character (John 1:3-5, 14, 18; John 1:4; John 1:5; Colossians 2:9). That is to say, He is God in human form. Just as a person’s words reveal his or her heart and mind, Christ as “the Word’ reveals the heart and mind of God (John 14:9), John gives us three main characteristics of Jesus Christ as “the Word.”

  1. The Word in relation to the Father. (a) Christ was “with God” before the creation of the world (Colossians 1:15). He was a person existing from eternity – without beginning or end – distinct from God the Gather but in and eternal, unified relationship with Him). (b) Christ is divine (“the Word was God”), having the same nature, character and quality of being as the Father (Colossians 2:9; Mark 1:11).
  2. The Word in relation to the world. It was through Christ the God created the world (John 1:3). In fact, all things were not only made by Him (by Christ, the Word), but for Him as well (Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2).
  3. The Word in relation to humanity. “The Word Became flesh” (John 1:14). In Jesus, God became a human being, taking on our form of existence, but with our sinful nature (since He was conceived by a miracle of the Holy Spirit; Matthew 1:23). This is the basic statement of the incarnation (God coming to us in human form): Christ left heaven and entered the condition of human life through the gateway of human birth (John 1:14; Matthew 1:23).

A MARK ON CAIN / GENESIS 4:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 4:15

And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

A MARK ON CAIN / GENESIS 4:15

This was probably a sign given to Cain to assure him of God’s promise. God said He would not take Cain’s life for killing Abel. This was an act of God’s grace (underserved favor). The penalty of losing one’s own life immediately as punishment for taking another’s life came later when the wickedness and violence of humankind became more extreme (Genesis 6:5-7, 11; 9:6; Genesis 6:5).

NOW YOU ARE UNDER A CURSE / GENENSIS 4:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 4:11

And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;

12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

NOW YOU ARE UNDER A CURSE / GENENSIS 4:11

Cain was cursed in that God would no longer bless his work (Genesis 4:2-3). Evidently Cain did not humble himself and truly repent (express sincere sorrow for his wrong and deliberately make a positive change). Instead, he separated himself for the Lord and attempted to live without His help (Genesis 4:16).

NULLIFY THE THINGS THAT ARE / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:28-29

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 1:28-29 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

NULLIFY THE THINGS THAT ARE / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:28-29

Through Jesus’ humiliating execution and triumphant resurrection (1 Corinthians 1:18; 1 Corinthians 1:23) and through using the most lowly and unlikely people and things to serve His highest purposes (1 Corinthians 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 127), God proves that the world’s most valued things are useless. God is now in the process of bringing human philosophies, psychologies and all other worldly systems and ways of thinking to and end

GOD CHOSE THE FOOLISH THINGS / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:27

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 1:27

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

GOD CHOSE THE FOOLISH THINGS / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:27

In 1 Corinthians 1:25-29, Paul explains that God’s standards and values are very different from those accepted by the world. God is now in the process of exposing and overthrowing the world’s false standards and wisdom. In doing so, He does not need the wisest and most influential people to serve His purposes (1 Corinthians 1:26). He chooses to use those who humble themselves, accept Christ and submit their lives to Him.

THE FOOLISHNESS OF WHAT WAS PREACHED / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:21

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 1:21

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

THE FOOLISHNESS OF WHAT WAS PREACHED / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:21

It is not the method of preaching that is considered foolish, but rather the message of the power and authority of Christ, who was crucified (executed on a cross) and then rose from the dead. On many levels, God’s plan and message do not make sense to the human way of thinking. For that reason, most people reject the message. In Paul’s time, the Jews rejected the message (1 Corinthians 1:23) because they expected a political leader and Messiah (Savior, Christ, Acts 1:6), not a crucified one. The Greeks and Romans rejected the message because they assumed that no honorable person would be crucified, so they could not understand how one who had died as a criminal could be the Savior (Matthew 27:35).

THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:20

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 1:20

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:20

Worldly wisdom excludes God because it emphasizes self-sufficiency and makes human knowledge the highest authority. It refuses to accept God’s revelation in Jesus Christ.

  1. God calls this wisdom foolishness (1 Corinthians 3:19-20) because it has kept humans from finding and believing the truth so that they may come to know their Creator (1 Corinthians 1:21).
  2. A Christian’s worldview must be firmly based on God’s Word and its message of Christ, which will show the secular worldview as a rejection of God and His truth (1 Corinthians 1:18-31; 2:1-16; Acts 17:18; Romans 1:20-32; Colossians 2:8; 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Peter 2:1-3,7; Jude 1:4-9). The original and true message of “the cross of Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:17; 1 Corinthians 1:18) must never be compromised or twisted to accommodate worldly philosophy, science or any other wisdom that man proclaims as great (1 Corinthians 2:4-5; Galatians 6:14).

IT IS THE POWER OF GOD / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18

IT IS THE POWER OF GOD

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 1:18

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

IT IS THE POWER OF GOD / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18

The message of the cross proclaims how Christ gave His life to pay the penalty for our sin. It tells of Jesus’ sacrifice for us, celebrates the life provided by that sacrifice and requires people to make a personal choice about how they will respond to Christ’s sacrifice. This message not only involves wisdom and truth, but also God’s active power to bring spiritual salvation, healing, freedom from demons and rescue from sin’s power.
