Today’s Daily Bible Verse: Without God, We are Lost

June 17, 2025

Romans chapter 8 verse 9: But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

VERSE CONTEXT

The Apostle Paul is the author of the Book of Romans, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to the believers in Rome, a diverse audience of Jewish and Gentile Christians living under Roman rule and dealing with both internal struggles and external persecution. Romans chapter 8 is one of the most powerful and theologically rich chapters in all of Scripture. It explores life in the Spirit versus life in the flesh, affirming that true Christian life is only possible by the indwelling of the Holy Ghost.

Paul is emphatically stating in Romans 8:9 that a person who claims to belong to Christ must have the Spirit of God dwelling within them. The Greek word used for dwell is “oikeō” (οἰκέω), meaning to live in, to inhabit permanently. This is not a passing influence or momentary feeling, this is full residence. If the Holy Spirit does not dwell within someone, Paul makes it crystal clear: that person is “none of his”, they do not belong to Christ.

This verse dismantles the false idea that moral people, religious people, or good people can live out the will of God apart from the Spirit. Man, by nature, is in the flesh, governed by sin, inclined toward pride, and unable to please God (see Romans 8:8: So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.). There is no exception, no bypassing this truth. The Holy Spirit is not optional for godliness, it is essential.

Commentator Charles Hodge (1797–1878, Presbyterian theologian) wrote, “To be without the Spirit is to be without Christ. And to be without Christ is to be without life.” That is the heart of this verse.

BROADER CONTEXT

Romans chapter 8 is the Spirit-filled crescendo of a multi-chapter argument Paul began back in chapter 5, where he contrasted Adam’s fall with Christ’s gift of righteousness. In chapters 6 and 7, Paul explained that believers are dead to sin and not under the law, but the struggle with the flesh remains. Romans 7 ends with Paul crying out, “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” (Romans 7:24). Chapter 8 answers that cry: only through the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus can we walk in freedom and righteousness.

The chapter begins with the declaration: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus…” (Romans 8:1), and it unfolds into a description of what that Spirit-led life looks like. Verse 9 is the turning point in Paul’s argument where he stops addressing general human nature and starts directly speaking to the believer, encouraging them: “Ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit.” But only if the Spirit of God truly lives in them.

This is not just a doctrinal checkpoint, it is a dividing line between true and false faith, between works-based religion and Spirit-empowered righteousness. The entire chapter pivots on the truth that only the Holy Spirit gives us life, peace, adoption as sons, hope in suffering, and ultimately, glorification.

APPLICATION

APPRECIATING GOD’S GREATNESS

This verse reminds us of the absolute necessity of God’s own presence to accomplish His will. He does not leave us to be holy on our own. What God requires, God provides through His Spirit. He does not merely call us to obedience, He empowers us to obey. That is the greatness of our God: He saves us, fills us, transforms us, and sustains us by His own indwelling Spirit. Dr. Voddie Baucham once explained that if man could be obedient without the Holy Spirit the we would not have needed Jesus. Why would Jesus have to leave His throne in heaven, come down to this sinful world, live a sinless life, be hated by his own creation, be beaten and murder on the torturous cross, be buried, and then resurrect himself so that we could be forgiven for the sin we have to power not to commit in the first place? Jesus came because we do not have the power to be sinless without the Holy Spirit.

FOR THE BELIEVER

The believer must not attempt to live the Christian life in their own strength. Our flesh is incapable of producing righteousness. This is why Paul says in Galatians chapter 3 verse 3: “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”

We must recognize that victory over sin, transformation of the mind, and the power to live for God are all the results of the Holy Spirit at work within us. Any effort to serve or honor God apart from the Spirit will end in frustration, burnout, and failure.

Call to Action:
If you are a believer, examine your walk. Are you relying on your effort, personality, or willpower, or are you walking in the Spirit? Seek God daily in prayer, asking Him to fill you, guide you, and control every part of your life. Confess your need for His help. Surrender. And then walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).

FOR THE UNBELIEVER

If you are trying to live a good life without the Spirit of God, this verse makes it plain: you do not belong to Christ. You may be religious, moral, generous, or spiritual, but without the Spirit of Christ, you are still “in the flesh,” and that means you are still under condemnation.

But the invitation is open: repent of your sins and believe the gospel. Jesus Christ died for your sins, rose from the grave, and offers you new life, not by reforming your behavior, but by filling you with His Spirit. You cannot save yourself. But Christ can, if you turn to Him.

FINAL ENCOURAGEMENT

You were never meant to do this alone. The Christian life is not a self-help program. It is not about being a better person, it is about being a new creation. And that new life can only begin and grow through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Let this verse encourage you: God has not left you in the flesh. If you are His, you are filled with His Spirit. And if you’re not yet His—He’s calling you now.

PRAYER

Father, we confess that without Your Spirit, we are powerless. Our efforts to be righteous on our own always fall short. We thank You for sending the Holy Spirit to dwell within those who believe, to empower us, comfort us, and transform us. Forgive us for the times we rely on our flesh. Help us to yield fully to the Spirit each day and to live in a way that glorifies You. And for those who do not yet know You, may this truth pierce their hearts and draw them into saving faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Today’s Bible Verse:

June 13, 2025

First Samuel chapter 15 verse 23:
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

Verse Context

The prophet Samuel was God’s mouthpiece to Israel during the time of King Saul, the first monarch of Israel. Saul had been divinely appointed, but that appointment came with a condition: he was to rule under God’s authority, not his own. First Samuel chapter 15 marks the turning point in Saul’s story, the moment his heart fully turned away from obedience.

God commanded Saul to destroy the Amalekites entirely, a people known for their ruthless ambush of Israel during the Exodus (see Exodus 17:8-16). This was a divine judgment, not a personal vendetta. But Saul disobeyed. He spared King Agag (pronounced AY-gag) and the best of the animals. He even built a monument to himself afterward, a prideful celebration of his victory rather than a humble act of obedience to God.

When Samuel confronted him, Saul lied and shifted blame. He claimed the people kept the animals to “sacrifice unto the LORD,” a common excuse when people disobey under the mask of religion. Samuel’s famous rebuke followed in 1 Samuel 15:22-23, culminating in today’s verse: “Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.” Here, Samuel equates rebellion with witchcraft, because both reject God’s authority. Stubbornness (also translated “insolence” or “arrogance”) is likened to idolatry, because it places one’s will above God’s. And that’s where Saul’s fate is sealed.

Broader Context

Saul’s story is tragic, not just because of his fall, but because of how close he came to greatness. In First Samuel chapter 10, God gave Saul another heart and even allowed him to prophesy. He had every opportunity to walk in righteousness. But over time, fear of people, pride in himself, and a refusal to wait on the Lord led to his downfall.

Earlier, in First Samuel chapter 13, Saul grew impatient when Samuel didn’t arrive on time, and he offered a burnt offering, something only a priest should do. That moment cost him the permanence of his dynasty (see 1 Samuel 13:13-14). By chapter 15, God removed him altogether:

“The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou” (1 Samuel 15:28).

That “neighbor” was David, a man after God’s own heart.

Saul continued as king for years after his rejection, but without God’s presence. He became tormented by an evil spirit, obsessed with control, paranoid of David, and eventually even consulted a witch (1 Samuel 28), the very sin Samuel warned about in today’s verse.

He ended his life in despair, suicide, and defeat on the battlefield. The man who was once “little in his own sight” (1 Samuel 15:17) became consumed with himself. He would not draw near to God, even in his final hours.

Application

Appreciating God’s Greatness

God doesn’t just want our sacrifices, He wants our obedience. Saul’s story reveals a holy God who demands loyalty from the heart, not just outward displays. God gave Saul opportunities to repent, but Saul chose appearance over substance, excuses over truth, pride over surrender.

For the Believer

This story warns us about what happens when we harden our hearts during trials. Saul had moments of pressure, delayed prophets, strong enemies, people demanding answers, but rather than wait on the Lord or cry out to Him, Saul took matters into his own hands. Many of us have our trials, loss, heartache, and battles that bring despair. Many of us try to handle our chaos with our own hands, usually making that tragedy even worse. We draw closer to God for His wisdom and comfort. Saul did not do that here. The result was eternal death. Saul is in hell tormented daily. Do not add to the tragedy. Reach out, call out, cry out to God in your despair. King David sinned greatly. The difference is he knew who to cry out to in his sinfulness. The Lord is righteous. When He gives us a command, we are not at liberty to alter it to fit our preferences. He is the King, not us. We are not meant to carry our burdens alone. Trials are invitations to draw closer to God. We must not be like Saul, justifying our partial obedience or using religious language to excuse our sin. When God speaks clearly, He expects to be obeyed clearly.

Call to Action

Examine your heart today. Is there an area where you’re only half-obeying God? Have you justified compromise, perhaps thinking your intentions are good enough?

Draw close to Him. Don’t wait. God’s mercy is great, but continued rebellion can lead to devastating consequences. Choose repentance. Choose surrender. Choose obedience.

For the Unbeliever

Saul’s story shows what happens when someone has a form of godliness but denies its power (see 2 Timothy 3:5). You can be chosen, blessed, even used by God, and still be lost if your heart is not right. Saul never fully surrendered.

Jesus Christ calls you not to religion, but to relationship. It’s not enough to say “I believe in God” while living in rebellion. Salvation is found only in Christ, through confession, repentance, and full surrender to His Lordship.

Final Encouragement

When we go through trials, we either turn to God, or we turn from Him. There is no middle ground. Yesterday we saw how Judas withdrew and was destroyed, while Peter wept bitterly and was restored. Today we saw how Saul disobeyed, hardened his heart, and ended in ruin.

Tomorrow is never guaranteed. If God is speaking to you today, don’t delay. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Draw close to God, and He will draw close to you.

Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the warning in Saul’s life. Help us to see where pride, fear, or self-justification have crept into our own hearts. Cleanse us from rebellion and give us hearts that obey You fully, not partially. In every trial, remind us that the safest place to run is into Your arms. Help us not to wait, not to justify, not to pretend—but to surrender. May we be like David, not Saul. And may we be found faithful, even when life is hard. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.

TODAY’S DAILY BIBLE VERSE: Never Give Up!

June 10, 2025

Second Corinthians 4:1
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

Verse Context

The Apostle Paul wrote Second Corinthians to defend his ministry, affirm God’s power in human weakness, and strengthen the church’s resolve amid trials. Written around AD 55–56, this letter addresses a church Paul dearly loved but had to correct. In chapter 4, Paul speaks about the nature of true ministry, it is not glamorous, easy, or self-promoting. Rather, it is grounded in God’s mercy, upheld by His Spirit, and carried out despite affliction.

The phrase “this ministry” refers to the ministry of the New Covenant (see 2 Corinthians 3), where believers serve not by the letter of the law, but by the Spirit, bringing life, not death. Paul reminds us that his endurance isn’t based on strength, charisma, or applause, but on the mercy he has received. He doesn’t quit (we faint not) because his calling came from the God who gave him mercy, not man.

As Charles Hodge (1797–1878, Presbyterian theologian) noted: “The mercy received by ministers is the constant source of their strength and the ground of their perseverance.”

Broader Context

Second Corinthians is one of Paul’s most emotionally transparent letters. It oscillates between pain and encouragement, conflict and hope. Chapter 4 contrasts the frailty of human vessels (“earthen vessels,” verse 7) with the power of God who works through them. Paul is reminding all Christians that the work of the Gospel is not accomplished through personal ability or public praise, it’s driven by mercy, sustained through grace, and displayed in perseverance even when unseen.

Verse 1 sets the tone for the entire chapter: ministry is hard, but it is also anchored in mercy. Therefore, we do not give up.

Paul later writes in Second Corinthians 4:8–9:
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

These verses show the real weight Paul carried, and why “we faint not” is not a casual phrase, it’s a declaration of faith in action.

A personal note: I was recently discussing scripture with a human friend, my best friend, and felt myself getting upset. We all must be careful to allow the scripture to talk to us, and not to talk to it. What I mean is, God gave us the word to have and to follow, but also to guide us to our deeper understanding of its meaning. Sometimes we have to dig deep and sometimes we have to trust that God means simply what He says. We get into this habit of interpreting the Bible. This is a delicate exercise because we do not want to interpret it in such a way that it allows us to be wrong. That is us talking to scripture. We want to interpret what the write is saying not what we are saying. At the end, I am called by God, no matter who thinks what. I am also a sinner. God, not man, is my refuge. We cannot lose heart, we must endure.

Application

1. Appreciating God’s Greatness

God does not call us to serve Him because of our strength. He entrusts us with ministry because of His mercy. Whether you are a pastor, teacher, parent, or quiet intercessor, your labor is not in vain because He sustains it. The greatness of God is seen in the fact that He continues His work through broken vessels like us, and gives us the strength not to faint.

2. For the Believer

This verse speaks to the wearied servant, the one who has faced criticism, exhaustion, and obscurity. Today’s reminder is simple: You have this ministry. Not someone else’s. Not a hypothetical one. The one God has given you, sustained by His mercy.

Call to Action:
Reflect on what God has entrusted to you, your household, your testimony, your prayer life, your ministry, your witness, and remember it is yours because of mercy. Don’t give up. God didn’t choose you based on your strength. He called you in mercy, and that mercy still holds you today.

3. For the Unbeliever

This verse reminds you that the Christian faith is not about earning or deserving a role. It’s about receiving mercy. Ministry isn’t for the perfect; it’s for the redeemed. If you are exhausted from trying to fix your life without peace or purpose, Jesus offers mercy, and through that mercy, a life of eternal purpose. Accept Him today, and you too will “faint not.”

Final Encouragement

No matter how tired, rejected, or small you feel, if God has placed you in ministry—any ministry—He will carry you by mercy. Mercy is not the beginning of ministry—it is the foundation of endurance. And because of that, you faint not.

Prayer

Father, thank You for the ministry You have given each of us. Whether public or private, visible or hidden, it is a gift of Your mercy. Strengthen us today to not give up—to press on, not in our own strength, but in the mercy that saved us. Encourage the discouraged. Renew the weary. Empower the hesitant. Let Your mercy be the fuel of our obedience. In Jesus’ name, amen.

TODAY’S DAILY BIBLE VERSE: Be Alert for the False Prophet

June 9,2025

Second Corinthians 11:13–14 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

VERSE CONTEXT

The Apostle Paul wrote Second Corinthians as both a defense of his apostleship and a pastoral plea to the believers in Corinth not to be swayed by deceivers. By the time we arrive at chapter 11, Paul is warning the church about individuals who pretend to represent Christ but in fact serve the purposes of Satan.

The phrase “false apostles” refers to individuals who claim spiritual authority but do not preach the true gospel. These are not misguided teachers—they are deceitful workers, intentionally leading others away from truth. The Greek word for false here is pseudos, meaning lying, counterfeit, intentionally deceptive. Paul says they are transforming themselves, which means they take on an outward appearance of truth, but it’s all a disguise.

This builds to verse 14: “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” The word marvel means don’t be shocked or amazed. The devil doesn’t show up with horns and a pitchfork—he shows up wearing a suit, smiling, and quoting Scripture out of context. He disguises himself as a bringer of truth, light, and comfort, but his purpose is destruction.

This verse drives home the most important lesson in spiritual discernment: If Satan himself disguises as a messenger of light, then of course his servants will appear as preachers, teachers, authors, influencers, and even worship leaders.

BROADER CONTEXT

Second Corinthians as a whole deals with Paul’s pain over the spiritual condition of the Corinthian church. They had become infatuated with flashy speakers, charismatic personalities, and human wisdom. Chapters 10–13 are often called Paul’s “fool’s speech,” where he uses irony and deep emotion to expose the corruption of false teachers.

Chapter 11 is especially urgent. Paul compares false teachers to the serpent who beguiled Eve (11:3), showing that their danger lies not in open heresy but in subtle perversion of truth. The phrase “another Jesus” (11:4) refers to distorted gospels that may use biblical terms but twist their meanings.

This context mirrors our current age:

  • “Jesus loves you” becomes license for sin.
  • “God wants you to prosper” replaces the call to take up your cross.
  • “Follow your heart” is packaged as spiritual wisdom, even though Jeremiah 17:9 says “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

Paul exposes the danger of spiritual naivety. He wants the church to grow up, sharpen their discernment, and recognize that not all who claim to speak for God are from God.

APPLICATION

Appreciating God’s Greatness

God has not left us defenseless. He has given us His Word, the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17), so that we can discern truth from error. His greatness is seen in the clarity and authority of Scripture. The more we know His Word, the less likely we are to be deceived by the devil’s disguises.

For the Believer

Stay vigilant. We are in a spiritual battlefield, not a playground.
Jesus warned in Matthew 7:15, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”


Call to Action:

Test every sermon. Evaluate every Christian book. Question every so-called “Christian influencer” on social media. Compare every doctrine to the whole counsel of God’s Word. If it doesn’t align with Scripture—reject it, no matter how nice it sounds.

Examples of today’s false teachings include:

  • Women preaching in pulpits, contrary to 1 Timothy 2:12.
  • Churches that affirm sin in the name of love.
  • Prosperity gospel teaching that turns God into a genie.
  • Universalism, which denies hell and undermines Christ’s atonement.
  • Legalistic groups teaching salvation by works rather than grace.

For the Unbeliever

False teachers are not just deceiving Christians, they are also keeping unbelievers in chains by giving them a false sense of salvation or peace. If you’ve been told that being a good person is enough, or that all paths lead to God, you’ve been lied to. Jesus said in John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Turn away from man-made religion, emotional hype, and twisted doctrines. Turn to Jesus Christ alone. He is the Truth, and He is the only one who can set you free from sin and deception.

FINAL ENCOURAGEMENT

God’s people must walk in the light, but never be blind to the enemy’s schemes. The devil doesn’t mind if you go to church, read the Bible, or say Christian things, as long as you never repent, never obey, and never actually know Jesus. Be wise. Be watchful. Be grounded in the truth, and the truth will keep you from falling.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,
We thank You for Your truth that guards our hearts and minds in this age of deception. Help us to recognize false teachings, no matter how sweetly they’re packaged. Give us discernment, Lord, and a hunger for Your pure Word. Protect our children from the lies of Satan, and strengthen Your church to stand boldly on the truth of Scripture. We ask for courage to speak the truth in love, wisdom to avoid error, and a heart that delights in You alone. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.

Today’s Daily Bible Verse: Overcome the Flesh with the Spirit

June 5, 2025

Galatians chapter 5 verse 16: “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”

Verse Context

The Apostle Paul is the author of the Book of Galatians, writing to the churches in the region of Galatia (modern-day central Turkey) around A.D. 48–55. The letter combats legalism and reasserts the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith, apart from the law. By chapter 5, Paul turns from theological correction to practical exhortation. He calls believers to liberty, not a liberty to sin, but to serve one another in love (Galatians 5:13). Verse 16 introduces the power source for Christian living: the Holy Spirit.

The word “walk” here is from the Greek peripateō (περιπατέω), meaning to conduct one’s life, to habitually live. It implies consistency and direction, not a one-time action.

The “lust of the flesh” refers to the sinful desires of our human nature; anger, pride, jealousy, lust, and all works of the flesh (see Galatians 5:19–21). But Paul declares that walking by the Spirit keeps us from fulfilling those desires.

Commentator John Stott (1921–2011, Anglican Evangelical) wrote, “Victory over the flesh is not attained by struggling but by surrendering, to the Spirit. The Christian life is not a battle we fight alone but a walk we share with God’s indwelling presence.”

Broader Context

Galatians chapter 5 focuses on the freedom believers have in Christ and the struggle between the flesh and the Spirit. Paul contrasts the works of the flesh (verses 19–21) with the fruit of the Spirit (verses 22–23). The key to living a life that honors God is not found in self-effort but in submission to the Spirit’s leading.

Paul is not calling for passive living but active dependence. Galatians 5:16 is the foundation of Spirit-filled victory. It doesn’t promise the absence of temptation, but it promises that temptation will not win when we walk in step with the Spirit.

This is a direct encouragement to every weary believer: God has made provision for you to win today. Not through your flesh, but through His Spirit.

ApplicationAppreciating God’s Greatness

This verse reveals God’s faithfulness to give us His very own Spirit so that we are never left to fight alone. It reminds us of His mercy, that He has not only saved us from sin’s penalty but is empowering us to defeat its power.

For the Believer

The battle with the flesh is daily, and at times exhausting. But Galatians 5:16 tells us the strategy: Walk in the Spirit. That means daily prayer, daily surrender, daily renewing of our mind through the Word. When we lean into His presence, the power of sin loses its grip.

Call to Action:

Today, before reacting to temptation, pause and pray. Say aloud, “Holy Spirit, I choose to walk with You.” Keep your heart open to His conviction and your will submitted to His direction.

For the Unbeliever

If you’re struggling with sin and wondering if real freedom is possible, Galatians 5:16 is God’s answer: Yes, it is, but not without the Spirit. True freedom begins when you place your faith in Jesus Christ, and He gives you the Spirit to dwell in you and lead you. You cannot win this war alone. But Christ already won it, come to Him.

Final Encouragement

No matter how heavy the battle has felt, no matter how often you’ve fallen, Galatians 5:16 is a fresh invitation: Walk in the Spirit. You are not a slave to your past, to your anger, or to your temptation. The Spirit of God lives in you, fights for you, and empowers you. And if you walk with Him today, you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. That’s a promise.

Prayer

Father, thank You for giving us Your Spirit. We confess that our flesh is weak, but we also believe that Your Spirit is strong. Help us today to walk in step with You. Remind us to listen, to surrender, and to depend on You moment by moment. Strengthen those who feel weary. Help the one who’s been battling quietly to know that they are not alone. Empower us, Lord, to say no to the flesh and yes to You. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
