I John 5:3-5: Karlyn

S - For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not burdensome.  For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith.  Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

O- Old Testament law was burdensome.  New Testament faith is freeing!  Thanks goodness we live in the New Testament times!  Faith overcomes the world - I take for granted how much our faith in Christ can accomplish.  Victory is what the endqw` result is!

A - I need to live in victory in my faith.  The end result of our faith in Christ is the world is overcome and we are with him forever!

P - Help me not to take my faith in you for granted or the power that comes in that faith.  Thank you that we aren't burdened with Old Testament law but can live freely in Christ in forgiveness of our sins.  Thank you for being so much wiser than us and knowing exactly what we need!
