Then Jesus said to His disciples,
If anyone desires
to be My disciple, let him deny
himself and take up
his cross and follow me.
For whoever is bent on
saving his life shall lose it;
and whoever loses his life
for My sake shall find it.
(Matthew 16. 24& 25).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
As for you, you were dead in your
transgressions and sins, in which
you used to live when you followed
the ways of this world and of the ruler
of the kingdom of the air, the spirit
who is at work in those who are
disobedient.
All of us also lived among them at
one time, gratifying the cravings
of our sinful nature and following
its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature
objects of wrath.
But because of His great love for us,
God, Who is rich in mercy, made us
alive with Christ even when we were
dead in transgressions- it is by grace
you have been saved.
And God raised us up with Christ and
seated us up with Him in the heavenly
realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in
the coming ages He might show the
incomparable riches of His grace, expressed
in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith- and this is not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by
works, so that no one can boast.
For we are God’s workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance
for us to do.
(Ephesians 2.1-10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
As obedient children, do not conform to the evil
desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
(I. Peter 1.14).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The world and its desires pass away,
but the person who does the will of God
lives forever.
(I.John 2.17).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does
the will of God lives forever.
(I. John 2.17).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires,
which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse
you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.
(I. Peter 2.11 & 12).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully
on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children,
do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just
as He Who calle dyou is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ” Be holy,
because I am holy.”
(I. Peter
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge
of God and of Jesus our Lord.
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and
godliness through our knowledge of Him Who called us by His
own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His
very great and precious promises, so that through them you
may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption
in the world caused by evil desires.
(II. Peter 1.2-4).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Do not love the world or anything in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father
is not in him. For everything in the world- the
cravings of the sinful man, the lust of his eyes and
the boasting of what he has and does- comes not
from the Father but from the world. The world
and its desires pass away, but the man who does
the will of the Father lives forever.
(I. John 2.15-17).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Now to Him Who, by the power that is at work within us,
is able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly,
far over and above all that we dare ask or think, infinitely
beyond our highest prayers, fondest desires, deepest thoughts,
greatest hopes, wildest dreams-
To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout
all generations forever and ever. Amen.
(Ephesians 3. 20 & 21).
