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!
Those who live according to the
sinful nature have their minds set
on what that nature desires.
But those who live in accordance
with the Spirit have their minds set
on what the Spirit desires.
The mind of sinful man is death, but
the mind controlled by the Spirit is
life and peace.
The sinful mind is hostile to God.
It does not submit to God’s law,
nor can it do so.
Those controlled by the sinful
nature cannot please God.
You, however, are controlled not
by the sinful nature but by the Spirit,
if the Spirit of God lives in you.
And if anyone does not have the Spirit
of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
But if Christ is in you, your body is dead
because of sin, yet our spirit is alive because
of righteousness. And if the Spirit of Him Who
raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He
Who raised Christ from the dead will also give
life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, Who
lives in you.
(Romans 8.5-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LOR JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Since we have now been justified by His blood,
how much more shall we be saved from God’s
wrath through Him!
For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were
reconciled to Him through the death of His Son,
how much more, having been reconciled, shall
we be saved by His life!
Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom
we have now received reconciliation.
(Romans 5.9-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
and all that is within me,
bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from
destruction, Who crowns you
with loving-kindness and tender
mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with
good things, so that your youth
is renewed like the eagle’s.
(Psalm 103.1-5).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life,
to mind your own business and to work
with your hands, just as we told you, so
that your daily life may win the respect
of outsiders and so that you will not be
dependent on anybody.
(I. Thessalonians 4.11 & 12).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Command them to do good, to be rich
in good deeds, and to be generous and
willing to share. In this way they will lay
up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation
for the coming age, so that they may take hold
of the life that is truly life.
(I. Timothy 6.18 & 19).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
So do not be ashamed to testify about our
Lord, or ashamed of me His prisoner.
But join me in suffering for the gospel, by the
power of God, who has saved us and called us
to a holy life – not because of anything we have
done but because of His own purpose and grace.
This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the
beginning of time, but it has now been revealed
through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus,
Who has destroyed death, and has brought life and
immortality to light through the gospel. (Best News
Ever).
(II. Timothy 1.8-10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
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.
For this reason, make every effort to add
to your faith goodness, and to goodness,
knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control;
and to self-control, perseverance; and to
perseverance, godliness; and to godliness,
brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness,
love.
For if you possess these qualities in
increasing measure, they will keep
you from being ineffective and
unproductive in your knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
But if anyone does not have them,
he is nearsighted and blind,
and has forgotten that he has been
cleansed from past sins.
(II. Peter 1.3-9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
For if, when we were God’s enemies,
we were reconciled to Him
through the death of His Son,
how much more, having been
reconciled, shall we be saved
through His life!
Not only is this so, but we also
rejoice in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, through
Whom we have now received
reconciliation.
(Romans 5.10 & 11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
And if the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus
from the dead is living in you, He Who
raised Christ from the dead will also
give life to your mortal bodies
through His Spirit, Who lives in you.
(Romans 8.11).
