The Incarnate Word

Today's Passage: 1 John 1: 1-10

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

---

1 We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning,
whom we have heard and seen.
We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands.
He is the Word of life.
2. This one who is life itself was revealed to us,
and we have seen him.
And now we testify and proclaim to you
that he is the one who is eternal life.
He was with the Father,
and then he was revealed to us.
3. We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen
and heard so that you may have fellowship with us.
And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4. We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy.

5. This is the message we heard from Jesus and
now declare to you:
God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
6. So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God
but go on living in spiritual darkness;
we are not practicing the truth.
7 But if we are living in the light,
as God is in the light,
then we have fellowship with each other,
and the blood of Jesus, his Son,
cleanses us from all sin.

8. If we claim we have no sin,
we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.
9. But if we confess our sins to him,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
10. If we claim we have not sinned,
we are calling God a liar and showing
that his word has no place in our hearts.
1 John 1: 1-10

8th strategy.
Chose three important verses that speak to you today.

• Begin by getting your heart ready to receive the words that God has laid down for us on this page. Ask Him to give you what you need to hear. Ask Him to give you the mind of Christ to be able to remember this strategy and continue it throughout the day.
• Read the passage completely.
• After reading the first time go back and chose the three most important verses that speak to you today.
• Ask God to bring those verses back to you through out the day.
• Find out if by the end of the day only one verse has been thought about more than the others.
• Thank God for that verse.
• This is a good strategy to use for long passages.

Father,
Thank you for 1 John.
This book has so much wisdom.
It give us so much information about who you are.
Please allow us to meditate on the verses you want us to hide away.
Give us peace in what you are saying to us this day.
In your name we pray,
Amen.
