Each day I will be posting a devotional on the subject of salvation. These are geared for the lost and I pray they will be used as a tool to lead someone to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Day 1 – Head Knowledge Versus Heart Knowledge

Reading: John 3:1-21

Today’s verse:

“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:” (John 3:1)

Nicodemus was a Pharisee in the Jewish religion. A Pharisee was the exclusively religious of the Jews. In fact, they were known as the separatists. Nicodemus was also known as a ruler of the Jews.

According to history, to become a Pharisee, it was necessary to memorize the first five books of the Old Testament! If anyone had a reason to NOT speak with Jesus, it was him. Nicodemus had a lot of head knowledge of the Bible, known as the Torah to the Jews. Yet, something drew Nicodemus to go talk to Jesus.

Oh dear one, won’t you draw nigh to God today? Won’t you seek to know what the Bible has to say? The Bible says that if you draw close to God, He WILL draw close to you. Seek Him while you still have time.

James 4:8a “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”

Dear God…
How far I’ve been from You
I truly don’t know You as Lord
The path to You is simple, so true
Show me the way through Your Word.
