Introduction
Congratulations on making the biggest and best decision of your life! You have chosen to follow Jesus Christ, and you have a lot to look forward to, so much to learn, and so many blessings. He has big plans for you, and I hope these 100 Scriptures and devos will help guide you as you choose to give each new day to Him. Arm yourself with the Bible, pray through every challenge, and watch yourself grow closer to God each day.
You’ve done it. You’re a Christian. Great! Now what? Now this . . .
Expect Nothing in Return
But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil. Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
—Luke 6:35–36
Before these two verses, Luke mentions how it is easy to love those who love us in return, to be good to those who are good to us in return, and to loan to those who we know will repay us. But, the Gospel calls us to love, do good, and provide for others even if they do not love us, treat us well, or provide for us in return. The reason we are called to live this way is because Christ loves us even when we are unloving, He is good to us even when we are ungrateful, and He provides for us although we have nothing to offer Him. Christ loves expecting nothing in return; therefore, we are to love others with such mercy.
Insults
You are blessed when they insult and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of Me.
—Matthew 5:11
There will be times when people are unkind to you because you are a Christian. Christ tells us to consider ourselves blessed when this happens. Most of the time, we want to feel sorry for ourselves when people say mean things about us; but Christ shows us that when those comments are made because of what we believe, then we should consider ourselves blessed. The greater blessing is being in a relationship with the Lord, not receiving someone else’s approval for what we believe.
