Jan 4, 2022 · We can only live a holy life through the power of the Spirit; thus, the first step to living a holy life is to accept Jesus as Savior (Ephesians 1:13). Once we have taken that step of salvation, we are declared righteous (Romans 5:1).

Matthew 22:36-38 says, “’Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?’ Jesus said to him, ‘“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment.’” If we love God with ALL that we are, then everything else falls into place. When we love other things or peopl...
Jesus went on to tell the disciple the second greatest commandment as well: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39). The truth is, we sure do love ourselves! We do many things for ourselves each day; likewise, we love others by putting them before ourselves. This is a difficult thing for our selfish flesh, but it’s an important c...
What is the Kingdom of God? First, it’s not a physical kingdom—yet. Someday, King Jesus will set up His Kingdom on the earth in all its fullness, but for now, it’s a spiritual kingdom that is breaking into the physical realm. Religious leaders asked when God’s Kingdom would be established (thinking God would wipe out the Romans who were ruling over...
Money in itself is not evil, but the loveof money will always lead to trouble. Jesus said in Matthew 6:24, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” (Mammon is another word for money.) Jesus understood the power mone...
It’s easy to get concerned about the things we need, but instead of worrying, God asks us to trust Him to providebecause He cares for us. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:24, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the bod...
The religious leaders of Jesus’ day thought that being holy or spiritual meant praying loudly for everyone to hear, giving money for everyone to see, and avoiding sinners. However, in Matthew 23:11-12 Jesus taught, “But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be...
In Matthew 16:26 Jesus asked, “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” Clearly, we have a choice to make: if we choose the world, we lose our soul; but if we choose Jesus, we gain life! But choosing Jesus requires that we live differently than the world: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate an...
Receiving forgiveness for a wrong you’ve committed sure feels great. But in the Kingdom of God, to receive forgiveness, you must be willing to forgive others. In Matthew 6:14-15 Jesus teaches, “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Fathe...
In Jesus’ day, religious people were consumed with following rules and lawsthat were impossible to keep. They were obsessed with outward appearances and looking good to other people. But in Matthew 15:11, Jesus taught, “Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.” This was a radical idea at that ...
Jesus knew that living selfishly is not the way to have life. Jesus Himself demonstrated this when He denied Himself and gave His life on the cross to redeem and save mankind. Matthew 16:24-25 says: “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires...
Jesus said He came so His followers “may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10 ). God’s way of living has great benefits for this life and offers “pleasures forevermore” in the next (1 Timothy 4:8 ; Psalm 16:11 ). That doesn’t mean that Christian living is easy.
Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. In John 10:10, Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (ESV). Unlike a thief, the Lord Jesus does not come for selfish reasons. He comes to give, not to get.
