Devotional
The Gospel should lead to a transformation that goes beyond mere religious observance, producing fruits like love, joy, peace, and patience in our lives. All of our inner issues can be traced back to a lack of gospel fruit being born in our lives. Anger is the lack of love. Anxiousness is the lack of peace, discouragement, the lack of joy. Today, let’s focus on allowing the transforming power of the Gospel to produce these fruits in our lives, filling us with love, joy, peace, and patience.
Bible Verse
In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. – Colossians 1:6
