DAY 3 – FIX THE LOVE OF GOD FIRMLY IN YOU HEART

You must believe that God loves you—not just with mental assent—but believe it in your heart. God, through the blood of Jesus, has forgiven you of all sin, and now you are free to love God and others. Learn to reject fear in every form, and trust God’s perfect love!

STUDY IT

1. You must believe that God loves you—not just with mental assent—but believe it in your heart.

• Receive the love God has for you.
• Lack of knowledge and training will cause a person not to understand the love of God (1 John 1:7).
• When someone questions God’s love, it opens the door for the devil to bring the curse in full force.
• Remember, Jesus was made a curse for us and has defeated the devil (Galatians 3:13).
• You must trust God’s love in order to activate His power in your life.
• When thoughts of doubt enter into your mind, you must NOT speak them. You must go to God’s WORD and find scriptures that reassure you of God’s love.
• God will not do for you what He has delegated to
• Learn to use your faith, so that when problems come, you will know what to do.
• There is a difference between religion and The WORD of God. Mental assent and traditions don’t have power, but belief in God and His WORD fill you with the ability to overcome (1 John 4:16).
• You can get so mentally involved with the things of God, that you stop reading and studying God’s WORD and stop using your faith. In that case you have nothing on which to base your faith.

2. God, through the blood of Jesus, has forgiven you of all sin.

• There is only one sin that will send a person to hell—that’s the sin of rejecting Jesus as Savior and LORD. Jesus shed His blood for everyone.
• All sin has been forgiven. But, if a person rejects Jesus, he or she rejects the work Jesus did to forgive him.
