Daily Bread – December 19, 2022 (The Second Day – Genesis 1:6-8) 1 John 1:4 – And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. The Joy Of Fellowship With God Our joy is made full through the relationship that has been granted to us by the gift of salvation (John 15:11, 16:24). This gift has made us holy and acceptable to God, and brought about our union with Him, having delivered us from all sin and condemnation (Colossians 1:13-14; Romans 8:1). The depth of the fellowship we have been given with God has no limits (Ephesians 3:16-20). As we grow in grace, we come to realize that through this wonderful act of God’s love and mercy, He has made us one with Himself so we may enjoy the beauty of His love which brings joy unspeakable (John 1:16; Colossians 2:10, 4:12; 1 Peter 1:8). The cares of this life would impose the burdens of earthly things and unrealized dreams, but God has made a way for us to live in the Heavenly realm and inherit His promises (Mark 4:19; Acts 26:18; Ephesians 1:13-14, 2:6-7; Philippians 3:20; and Colossians 1:12, 3:1-4, 24; Hebrews 9:15; 1 Peter 1:3-4). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
