DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 16-17; Ezekiel 37; John 15:1-16

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?  Romans 8:35
For the love of Christ constraineth us… 2 Corinthians 5:14
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Ephesians 3:19

The love of Christ secures us in a world of tribulation. What shall separate us? Nothing! The love of Christ compels us not to live for our flesh, “…that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again” (2 Cor. 5:15). Finally the love of Christ fills us with all the fullness of God, and therefore, there is no place for the devil (Eph. 4:27). The world, the flesh, the devil. Christ’s love is sufficient. —Tom Steere

The love of Christ constraineth; then let us work and pray,
And watch the glad appearing, of that triumphal day.
