TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
Memorize this Verse: (Cover the verse text and using just the first letters of each word try to recite the entire passage.)
13. I Y T B E K H T G G G U Y C H M M S Y H F G T H S T T T A H
“Being evil”: Jesus presupposes the doctrine of human depravity.
“How much more”: If earthly fathers give what their sons need, will not God give to His sons what they ask?
Parents love their children and will give them freely all the things that they have to give. Human love is not even closely compared to the great love that God has for mankind. Man’s love is conditional. God’s love is unconditional, expecting nothing in return.
In Matthew, it promises good things. Here, the Holy Spirit is promised to those who ask and seek. The best gift, aside from salvation, that a Christian can receive is the Holy Spirit. It gives us power to live this life victoriously.
Evil people do give good gifts to their children. They are not always careful to make sure these gifts are for the best interest of the receiver. Here, God gives the things that will help in our Christian walk, the greatest gift being Himself. The next verse is a total change of scene.
