Temple of the Holy Spirit

19. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
20. for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

Do Not Love the World

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.

And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

Christ's Sacrifice

...knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers,
not with perishable things such as silver or gold,
but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

Born Again to a Living Hope

3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4. to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,
5. who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
7. so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.

Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.

Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

Pray without ceasing

pray without ceasing,

give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Examine yourselves,to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

14. But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.
15. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,
16. to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

14. For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died;
15. and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16. From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.
17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
18. Allowing this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
19. that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
20. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
20. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

For this very reason,make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,

and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,

and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.

For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The saying is trustworthy,
for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him;

if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he also will deny us;

if we are faithless, he remains faithful—
for he cannot deny himself.

As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

8. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
9. not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Unity in the Body of Christ

1. I therefore,a prisoner for the Lord,urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2. with all humility and gentleness,with patience,bearing with one another in love,
3. eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—
5. one Lord,one faith,one baptism,
6. one God and Father of all,who is over all and through all and in all. (ESV)

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.

But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

29. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;
31. but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

12. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
13. who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.”

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

Perseverance

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy,
to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.

29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

19. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
20. but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Humility

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

7. I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
8. I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand,I shall not be shaken.
9. Therefore my heart is glad,and my whole being b rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.
10. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.
11. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

Gods Love

4. For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5. He loves righteousness and justice;

5. Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
6. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday.

10. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

9. Romans Road...Assurance

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

Confession

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart one believes and is justified,
and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,that by testing you may discern what is the will of God,what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Sin

10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;

19. Those whom I love,I reprove and discipline,so be zealous and repent.
20. Behold,I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him,and he with me.

21. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—
22. the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
23. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24. and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25. whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
26. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

2. Romans Road...All have sinned

23. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

5. Romans Road

1. Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
4. and endurance produces character,and character produces hope,
5. and hope does not put us to shame,because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

4. Romans Road

but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

3. Romans Road(a)-Wages of sin

a. For the wages of sin is death,

b. but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

6. Romans Road-Free gift

a. For the wages of sin is death,

b. but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

7. Romans Road

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

14. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
16. The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

29. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

Salvation

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers,
nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,

he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
