BASIC SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: 3RD SEPTEMBER 2025 – 1 JOHN 3:16-24 (NKJV)

16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.
20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.
22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.
23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.
24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

CONTEMPLATION: THE ECONOMY OF HEAVEN’S LOVE

The Apostle John presents a radical, tangible, and undeniable definition of love. It is not measured by sentiment or words alone, but by action and sacrifice. The ultimate standard is Christ Himself: “He laid down His life for us.” This is the pattern we are called to follow.

This passage creates a direct link between our vertical relationship with God and our horizontal relationship with people. It argues that it is impossible to claim to have God’s love abiding in us if we are indifferent to the practical needs of those around us (v. 17). True love is practical; it gets its hands dirty (v. 18).

This life of active love has a profound effect on our inner world and our prayer life. When we love in “deed and in truth,” it reassures our hearts of our salvation (v. 19) and silences the voice of self-condemnation (v. 20-21). This assurance, in turn, births incredible confidence in prayer. Our obedience in loving others positions us to receive whatever we ask because our will aligns with His—and His commandment is to believe in Jesus and love one another (v. 22-23). It is a beautiful cycle of faith, love, and power. Basic Scripture for Today 3rd SEPTEMBER 2025 Prayer points and Declarations
