The Multiplication of Disciples
Jesus came to establish His Kingdom on earth. He began to proclaim that the Kingdom of Heaven had come near.
Real Obedience
Let’s start with Paul’s initial words in this scripture: “Therefore, as the elect of God.”
He’s the Helper
This verse is part of a larger passage where Jesus prepares His disciples for His death and departure.
The Lord Rejoices Over You!
This is one of my favorite scriptures because it so beautifully shows God’s heart toward His people. This verse captures both His power and His tenderness.
Complete In Him
Complete, that is a monumental statement! And you know that the Lord is not one for exaggeration!
Is He Priority?
Who is God to you? Is He the Lord of your life – the One who is the Ruler, the One who tells you how to live and you follow?
The Kingdom Within
We live in a world obsessed with the highlight reel: the perfect photo, the job title, the clothes we wear, the things people can see.
Walking In Your Benefits and Walking Out Your Righteousness
In this verse we see a couple of things that are so important for us to understand in order to walk in all that God has promised.
We Are Loved!
Those of us who are saved are to live by faith. The Bible says in multiple places that the just (saved) shall live by faith. We have all been given the measure of faith. Your faith works!
Crucified with Christ
Because I believe that Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead, the old me has been crucified with Christ. Romans 6:6 says, “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.”
No More Darkness!
The Passion Translation says it like this: “…that we should broadcast His glorious wonders throughout the world.”
The Amplified Classic says it like this: “…that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him.”
Chosen and Consecrated
We are a chosen generation, a chosen race, a chosen people. God has chosen us. He adopted us into His very own family. What an honor that God wanted us as family members, and He sent His Son to make that happen.
FOLLOW ON TO KNOW!
We are often familiar with the Bible talking to us about the latter rain, the outpouring of the Holy Ghost.
NO OTHER GOD!
Knowing that there is no other God should bring you great confidence. How can you be sure?
LYING TONGUE
The Lord hates it when we lie. One big reason is the devil is known as the father of lies (John 8:44).
LIFE TO ALL YOUR FLESH
It is the will of God to heal. One reason we know that is because the Word of God is life to all our flesh.
