Growing in Christ Series (NIV)
This pack contains thirteen (13) verses from NavPress' introductory series Growing in Christ. These studies are made up of two titles: "Lessons on Assurance" & "Lessons on Christian Living." As an added bonus, an additional six (6) verses that give further insight into Christ's Parable of the Four Soils as revealed in Mark 4:1-20 are added to this introductory pack--making a set of 19 verses in all. Every selected passage points to the fundamentals of the Christian life.
As in baseball (where the fundamentals of the game are batting, running, fielding, throwing, and catching), the fundamentals of the Christian life surround a knowledge of salvation, prayer, victory, forgiveness, divine guidance, the Lordship of Christ, grace, love, giving, the church, good works, as well as the power of our words and life witness.

1 Corinthians 10:13NIV84
Assurance of Victory

so that you can stand up under it.

1 John 2:15-17NIV
The World
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 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 God livs forever.

does not have life.
