In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.                                                                                                                    Matthew 7:12 If there was just one verse in the entire Bible that has the power to dramatically change the world, I believe it would be today’s…

If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.                                                                                                             John 13:14-15 We have already looked at godliness as being demonstrated through love, patience,…

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.                                                                                                                         1 John 4:7-8  When you think of “being godly” or “having godliness”, what comes to…

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.                                                                                                                    1 Peter 5:8-9  We have already looked…

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.                                                                                                 …

For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same…

For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    2 Timothy 1:7  Peter instructs us to have all diligence in the faith, adding to that faith, virtue and…

Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.                                                                                                                       Acts 13:38-39  Not only do we need to have correct knowledge of…

…nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.                                                             …

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.                                                                                                …
