“Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing...
“Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous...
“Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children...
The Kingdom of Israel.
When God made the nations of the world, He also made a nation to rule over them. That is Israel. They learnt of God`s righteous rule and were to teach the other nations this also.
`When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Israel from a people of strange language...
Our support in our struggles
There is one word I heed and continually ponder; it alone is everything to me; I live by it and die by it, and it is the holy will of God. It is my daily food. My whole soul listens intently to God’s wishes. I do always what God asks of me, although my nature...
“And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says ‘I know him’ but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him...
The Kingdoms of this World.
As the nations of the world developed, they formed great kingdoms. God gave them an opportunity to rule. Here we read of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
`You, O King, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and...
Take a look at the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31.
Bible Gateway passage: Luke 16:19-31 - New International Version
The parable describes the state of a rich man and poor man right after death. Both are alive right after death. The rich man ends up in hell. The poor man...
“Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long.”
“Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right...
I am reading in John 4:1-42, and this is a lengthy passage, so I am going to summarize some of it and I will quote some of it. For it is the story of Jesus talking with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well in Samaria. And this meeting up with this woman at that well was a divine appointment for...
Like Jesus said : Matthew 24: 35-37, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone". Why are people so hung up on this? Is this the purpose of Christianity, to spend all...
“What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in...
(After reading John 15:1-17)
Father, I extend my soul to follow your rules,
to befriend your heart, do service for you,
because your Son sought you, fulfilled the Law,
I seek you, too, demonstrate love.
First by the knowing he gave all for me.
By this grand mercy, I show grace secondly.
Thirdly...
The Kingdom of God has Rulership in each Realm.
When God created the heavens and the earth, He established different realms with positions of authority – the third heaven, the Universe, and the earth. These are all within God`s great kingdom rule and were established by the Lord Jesus Christ...
Others also expressed hope, to some extent. There were small creatures seen, the beavers were the only big creatures yet noticed, and seeds and small fruits had been their food for several days, along with water that they heated for their use, as they had gone along the fast flowing creek they...
“What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask...
“Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on...
