You have received the Holy Spirit, and HE lives within you,
so you don’t need anyone to Teach you what is True.

is True-it is not a lie. So continue in what HE has Taught you,
and Continue to Live in CHRIST.

Being Saved means the Stain of
Guilt has been Washed Away.


Romans 3:21-24-NLT . . .
21 But now GOD has shown us a different way of being right in His sight
—not by Obeying the law but by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago.
22 We are made right in GOD’s sight when we Trust in JESUS CHRIST
to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way,
no matter who we are or what we have done.
23 For all have sinned; all fall short of GOD’s Glorious Standard.
24 Yet now GOD in His Gracious Kindness declares us not guilty.
HE has done this through CHRIST JESUS, who has freed us by
taking away our sins.


Being Saved Means we are Forgiven in CHRIST!!

John 13:3-5-NLT . . .
JESUS knew that the Father had given Him Authority over everything
and that HE had come from GOD and would Return to GOD.
So HE got up from the table, took off His robe, wrapped a towel
around His waist, and poured water into a basin.
Then HE began to wash the Disciples’ Feet and to wipe them
with the towel HE had around Him.


Matthew 20:26-28-NLT . . .

presses will overflow with wine and olive oil.

GOD Gives Graciously.
GOD is never a Grudging Giver.

1 Corinthians 12:11-NLT . . .
It is the One and Only Holy Spirit who Distributes these Gifts.
HE alone decides which Gift each person should have.

Matthew 6:24-NLT . . .
You Cannot Serve Two Masters.
For You Will Hate One and Love the Other.

You must Evaluate Who or What is Most Important
to You.
A Clue to Determining this is to see Where you Spend
Most of your Time.

Romans 6:16-NLT . . .
Don’t you Realize that whatever you choose to Obey
becomes your Master? You can choose sin,
which leads to death, or you can Choose to Obey GOD
and Receive His Approval.

Submission is a Choice. We daily stand at the Crossroads,
choosing sinful ways or GOD’s Way.
The Ways are Not Ours, but the Choice is Ours!!

Turned Whole Families Away from the Truth.

If you Explain This to the Others, you will be doing
your Duty as a Worthy Servant of CHRIST JESUS,
One who is Fed by the Message of Faith and the
True Teaching you have Followed.

The Only Way for Believers to Stand their
Ground is to be Spiritually Fit.
Are you Consistently Exposing yourself to
Solid Teaching, or are you Leaving Your
Spiritual Formation to Chance?

1 Corinthians 9:10-11, 13-14-NLT . . .
Wasn’t he also speaking to us? Of course he was.
Just as farm workers who plow fields and thresh
the grain expect a share of the Harvest,
Christian workers should be paid by those they Serve.
We have planted Good Spiritual Seed among you.
Is it too much to ask, in return, for mere food and clothing? . . .
Don’t you know that those who work in the
Temple get their meals from the food brought to the
Temple as offerings? And those who Serve at the
Altar get a Share of the Sacrificial Offerings.
In the same way, the LORD gave orders that those
who Preach the Good News should be supported by
those who benefit from it.

2 Corinthians 8:1-5-NLT . . .
Now I want to tell you, dear friends,
what GOD in His kindness has
done for the Churches in Macedonia.
Though they have been going through
much trouble and hard times, their
Wonderful Joy and deep poverty have
Overflowed in Rich Generosity.
For I can testify that they gave not
only what they could afford but far more.
And they did it of their own Free Will.
They begged us again and again for
the gracious privilege of sharing in the
Gift for the Christians in Jerusalem.
Best of all, they went beyond our
Highest Hopes, for their first action
was to Dedicate Themselves to the LORD
and to us for whatever directions GOD might
Give Them.

John 15:1-5-NLT . . .
“I am the True Vine. . . . Remain in Me, and I will remain in you.
For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the Vine,
and you cannot be Fruitful apart from Me. . . . Those who remain
in Me, and I in them, will produce much Fruit. For apart from Me
you can do Nothing.”

Romans 7:4-NLT . . .
Now you are united with the One who was raised
from the dead.
As a result, you can produce Good Fruit, that is,
Good Deeds for GOD.

Keeping in Fellowship With, and
Submission to, CHRIST makes
us Effective!!

Hebrews 11:33-34-NLT . . .
By Faith these people overthrew Kingdoms, Ruled with Justice,
and Received what GOD had Promised them. They shut the mouths
of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the
edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to Strength.
They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.

Having Strong Faith in GOD makes us Effective!!

in Heaven and on Earth.
Therefore, go and make Disciples of all the Nations,

and the Holy Spirit. Teach these New Disciples to Obey
all the Commands I have given you. And be sure of this:
I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Part of a Christian’s Purpose in life
includes Taking Part in Fulfilling the
Great Commission and Building the
Kingdom of GOD!!

Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
His Ever Expanding, Peaceful Government will Never End.
HE will Rule Forever with Fairness and Justice from the
Throne of His ancestor David.
The Passionate Commitment of the LORD Almighty
will guarantee this!

Psalm 139:13-16-NLT . . .
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me
together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so
Wonderfully Complex! Your Workmanship is Marvelous—and how
well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter
seclusion, . . . You saw me before I was born. Every day of
my life was recorded in Your Book.

God is present continuously during the nine months of pregnancy
—forming, watching, creating, and even scheduling each day
of the unborn baby’s life.
The Value of an Unborn child is Priceless.


Jeremiah 1:5-NLT . . .
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.
Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you
as my spokesman to the world.”

God knew us each as persons before we developed in
our mother’s womb. HE establishes a purpose for us
before we are even born.
