For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” • Galatians 5:14 NIV • • ‬YouVersion Bible Verse Of The Day • • Date: Tuesday, 27 August 2024 • • DEVOTIONAL • A True Neighbor • Have you ever wondered: What does • God want me to do? • If you're looking for a verse that • summarizes the commands in both • the Old and New Testaments, here's • what Paul wrote to the believers in • Galatia... • For the whole law can be summed • up in this one command: 'Love your • neighbor as yourself. • Galatians 5:14 NLT • Paul's words echo a command Jesus • gave when He was asked what the • most important commandment was • (Matthew 22:37-40). What they're • both essentially saying is: beyond • loving God with everything in you, • you should love your neighbor as • yourself. • Who is your neighbor? A Jewish • expert in religious law once asked • Jesus, Who is my neighbor? (Luke • 10:29) So Jesus told him a story • about a man who was beaten and • left for dead on the side of the road. • Both a priest and a Levite walked by • and ignored the man-but it was a • Samaritan who sacrificed his time • and money to help him heal. • For many reasons, Samaritans were • despised by Jews. But that didn't • stop the Samaritan in this story from • showing compassion. What Jesus • wanted the Jewish expert (and us) to • hear is that anyone, anywhere is our • neighbor-and everyone is worthy of • our sacrificial love. • How do you love yourself? When you • have a need of any kind, you work • hard to meet it. You don't have to • think about how to treat yourself; it's • just something you do. The care we • unconsciously show ourselves is • also how we should care for others. • How can you love your neighbor as • you love yourself? If someone needs • help with their home, job, or children, • you can serve joyfully. If a family is • struggling financially, you can give • generously. If there's someone in • your life who doesn't have a godly • example to look up to, you can step • into the gap. • Being a true neighbor is not always • convenient and it will likely cost you, • but you can still choose to love them • as you love yourself. And when you • serve others in this way, you are • serving Jesus, too. • Today, take a moment to consider • the people around you who could • use your help. Then, ask God to • reveal how you can love and serve • them this week. • • PRAYER • A Prayer to Love Others: • Jesus, You showed me what love means when You sacrificed Yourself to save us. Please give me the boldness to love others like You have loved me. Make me aware of Your Holy Spirit, and show me what other people need. Allow me to meet the needs of others by loving them sacrificially. Amen. • VIDEO PROVIDED BY: Jeff Henderson • Jeff Henderson is an entrepreneur, speaker, pastor, and business leader.
