John 8:4-5,7 – Do the guilty get stoned?

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – what do we do with the guilty, stone or restore? Is punishment restorative? What is God like with the guilty?

John 8:4-5,7 TPT
[4] Then they said to Jesus, “Teacher, we caught this woman in the very act of adultery. [5] Doesn’t Moses’ law command us to stone to death a woman like this? Tell us, what do you say we should do with her?” [7] Angry, they kept insisting that he answer their question, so Jesus stood up and looked at them and said, “Let’s have the man who has never had a sinful desire throw the first stone at her.”

John 6:65 – Everyone needs enabling.

Here is the revelation that is showing my life today – we make so much of life about what we can achieve on our own, and God wants us to do nothing on our own. Love always wants to be involved and enable me to do what I can’t do on my own.

John 6:65 NIV
[65] He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”

2 John 1:5-6 – There is no end to “constantly love” it’s the means of unity.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – love of God means living in obedience to loving each other. Love for God does not mean defending my interpreted rightness of him. He is clear about constantly loving each other, and leaves a lot else to the beauty of the journey, that we are to travel in love together. There is no end to constantly.

 

2 John 1:5-6 TPT

[5] Dearest woman, I have a request to make of you. It is not a new commandment but a repetition of the one we have had from the beginning: that we constantly love one another. [6] This love means living in obedience to whatever God commands us. For to walk in love toward one another is the unifying commandment we’ve heard from the beginning.

John 2:23-25 – Known and Loved!

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – nothing that is kept in the dark can be healed by the light. But I will only bring into the light what I think the light can handle.

John 2:23-25 TPT
[23] While Jesus was at the Passover Feast, the number of his followers began to grow, and many gave their allegiance to him because of all the miraculous signs they had seen him doing! [24] But Jesus did not yet entrust himself to them, because he knew how fickle human hearts can be. [25] He didn’t need anyone to tell him about human nature, for he fully understood what man was capable of doing.

1 John 5:3-4 Heavy love is light and freeing

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – love makes me me, sets me free to be me, and then sends me to be me. It’s light and freeing.

1 John 5:3-4 TPT
[3] True love for God means obeying his commands, and his commands don’t weigh us down as heavy burdens. [4] You see, every child of God overcomes the world, for our faith is the victorious power that triumphs over the world.

1 John 4:17 – I will never be me outside the embrace of God

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – love is not learned it’s lived.

1 John 4:17 TPT
[17] By living in God, love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world.

1 John 2:3-6,12 Can love be commanded?

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – love is the only command of God. So he submits himself to me and invites me to be loved. Walk in or walk away, God never changes his posture of submission.

1 John 2:3-6,12 TPT
[3] Here’s how we can be sure that we’ve truly come to know God: if we keep his commands. [4] If someone claims, “I have come to know God by experience,” yet doesn’t keep God’s commands, he is a phony and the truth finds no place in him. [5] But the love of God will be perfected within the one who obeys God’s Word. We can be sure that we’ve truly come to live in intimacy with God, [6] not just by saying, “I am intimate with God,” but by walking in the footsteps of Jesus. [12] I remind you, dear children: your sins have been permanently removed because of the power of his name.

1 Peter 4:8 Above all love!

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – know the intensity of being loved by God in order to echo that love to others, and make this your “above all” of your life.

1 Peter 4:8 TPT
[8] Above all, constantly echo God’s intense love for one another, for love will be a canopy over a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 3:8-9 – Life goals!

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – I get life upside down in my priorities so easily and so quickly and then I wonder why life yields me what I strive for. The true goal of life is relationships of love, so sow here and reap accordingly.

1 Peter 3:8-9 TPT
[8] Now, this is the goal: to live in harmony with one another and demonstrate affectionate love, sympathy, and kindness toward other believers. Let humility describe who you are as you dearly love one another. [9] Never retaliate when someone treats you wrongly, nor insult those who insult you, but instead, respond by speaking a blessing over them because a blessing is what God promised to give you.

Luke 20:46 – Beware of the experts

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – do not allow the self-proclaimed, dressed up, experts of the law rob you from the foundations of the law – love and acceptance, righteousness in Christ.

Luke 20:46 TPT
[46] “Don’t follow the example of these pretentious experts of the law! They love to parade around in their clergy robes so that they are honoured wherever they go, sitting right up front in every meeting and pushing for the head table at every banquet.

James 4:4 – The war of love

This is the revelation that is shaping my life today – I can live in the love of God and yet operate as an enemy of love. The good news is God loves his enemies.

James 4:4 NIV
[4] You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

James 2:8,14-17 – You can’t legislate love

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – being loved flows to being love, and the evidence of your faith most naturally is present from your faith. No evidence means no faith, it’s not that evidence gets you anywhere it proves where you have been.

James 2:8,14-17 TPT
[8] Your calling is to fulfil the royal law of love as given to us in this Scripture: “You must love and value your neighbour as you love and value yourself!” 14] My dear brothers and sisters, what good is it if someone claims to have faith but demonstrates no good works to prove it? How could this kind of faith save anyone? [15] For example, if a brother or sister in the faith is poorly clothed and hungry [16] and you leave them saying, “Good-bye. I hope you stay warm and have plenty to eat,” but you don’t provide them with a coat or even a cup of soup, what good is your faith? [17] So then faith that doesn’t involve action is phony.

Luke 14:3 – Law or Love?

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – we like law, it is clear and empowering, and it gives me security. But Jesus dismisses the law in favour of love.

Luke 14:3 TPT
[3] Jesus asked the experts of the law and the Pharisees who were present, “Is it permitted within the law to heal a man on the Sabbath day? Is it right or wrong?”

Hebrews 12:7,10 – Love’s discipline.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – my personal revelation of love is the corrective discipline of God.

Hebrews 12:7,10 TPT
[7] Fully embrace God’s correction as part of your training, for he is doing what any loving father does for his children. For who has ever heard of a child who never had to be corrected? [10] Our parents corrected us for the short time of our childhood as it seemed good to them. But God corrects us throughout our lives for our own good, giving us an invitation to share his holiness.
