“And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”
Matthew 25:6-13 KJV

New Life Through God’s Love
Throughout Scripture, we see God’s love reflected everywhere. He provides, protects, and guides with an abundance of love. God is love, and we are called to share His love by leading with love in our interactions with others. (1 John 4:16)
John 3:16 shares the key message of the Gospel: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” God loved us so much that he gave His only Son to give us new life in Him.
God’s love doesn’t just provide, protect, and guide. His love transforms. His love restores. His love gives us a new future. Today, remember that because of God’s love for you, you have new life in Him.
