But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

Courage

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
Let all your things be done with charity.

C02 - His Spirit

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.

C01 - His Spirit

Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?

healing

19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

Honesty

God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

D03 - Separate From the World

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.

E02 - Love

Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth.

Christ - Destroyed the works of the devil

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

Fullness of Christ - As He is...

Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

Faith - Overcomes the world

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world- our faith.

Decision

How long halt ye between two opinions?
if the LORD be God, follow him:
but if Baal, then follow him.

Christ's Sacrifice

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold,
from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ,
as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Trials

...though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials;
that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

E06 - Purity

Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war against your soul.

Stripes

who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

healing

B06 - Christ Paid the Penalty

For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit;

E04 - Humility

Likewise you that are younger be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that in due time he may exalt you.

C08 - His Peace

Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you.

God's Help

Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.”

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Spiritual Attitude

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.

Leadership

Let no man despise thy youth;
but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

Thoughts - bringing every thought into captivity

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Thoughts - holding captive

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Promises - Yes & Amen!

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

Weakness

And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities,
that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Comfort

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble,
by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

Renewal

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

A01 Christ the Center

Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

Ambassadors of Reconciliation

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;
and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us:
we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

healing

21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Righteousness

21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Favor - Now is the day

For He says, In the time of favor (of an assured welcome) I have listened to and heeded your call, and I have helped you on the day of deliverance (the day of salvation). Behold, now is truly the time for a gracious welcome and acceptance of you from God; behold, now is the day of salvation!

Generosity

He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly;
and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

D10 - Give Generously

The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Grace - All grace abounds

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

Calling

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure:
for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Blessings - Life & Godliness

as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Spiritual Attitude

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue;
and to virtue knowledge;
and to knowledge temperance;
and to temperance patience;
and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness;
and to brotherly kindness charity.

Knowledge of Christ

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

Fear

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

A05 The Word

All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward God and toward men.

Principalities - Disarmed

And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

He removes kings & raises up kings

And He changes the times and the seasons;
He removes kings and raises up kings;

I pray that You God of my Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, 18 the eyes of my understanding being enlightened; that I may know what is the hope of Your calling, what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power toward me who believes, according to the working
of Your mighty power 20 which You worked in Christ when You raised Him from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Blessing - Spiritual blessings

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

We are His workmanship

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Prayer - Eph 3

14 …… I bow my knees to the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that You would grant me, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with might through Your Spirit in my inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith; that I, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that I may be filled with all the fullness of You Father.
20 Now to You who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that I ask or think, according to the power that works in me, 21 to You be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

E05 - Purity

But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints.

Armour of God

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

Family

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

God's Providence

I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong;
I will feed them with judgment.

Renewal

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them .

Church Growth

Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them;
I will increase them with men like a flock.
As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts;
so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men:
and they shall know that I am the LORD.

A02 Christ the Center

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

healing

13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”

Curse - Redeemed

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),

that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Heirs - According to the promise

And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Children of God

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Heirs - Heir of God

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Living in the Spirit

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Faith - Holy Spirit

For we, not relying on the Law but through the Holy Spirit’s help, by faith anticipate and wait for the blessing and good for which our righteousness and right standing with God our conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action, causes us to hope.

E11 - Good Works

And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Though the fig tree may not blossom....

Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
The Lord God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer’s feet,
And He will make me walk on my high hills.

A10 Fellowship

and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Faith - Now faith is

Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things we hope for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.

Faith - Faith is the substance

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith - By the Word

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

E09 - Faith

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.

D06 - Be Steadfast

Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

C11 - His Help in Temptation

For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

God's Word - The word of God

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Grace - Come boldly

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

B04 Sin's Penalty

And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment,

Sow righteousness

Sow for yourselves righteousness,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;
for it is time to seek the LORD,
until he comes
and showers righteousness on you.

Knowledge - lack of

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Forgiveness

And in that day you will say:
“O Lord, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’”
Therefore with joy you will draw water
From the wells of salvation.

Peace - Perfect peace

You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

C07 His Peace

Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee.

Spiritual Wealth

The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

Wait - Renewed like the eagles

But those who wait on 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.

C03 - His Strength

fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.

Fear not!

Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Restore!

But this is a people robbed and plundered;
All of them are snared in holes,
And they are hidden in prison houses;
They are for prey, and no one delivers;
For plunder, and no one says, “Restore!”

I will be with you....

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.

Riches - Hidden riches of secret places

“Thus says the Lord to His anointed,
To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—
To subdue nations before him
And loose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut:

I will go before you
And make the crooked places straight;
I will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.

I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden riches of secret places,
That you may know that I, the Lord,
Who call you by your name,
Am the God of Israel.

Treasure - Hidden riches

I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden riches of secret places,
That you may know that I, the Lord,
Who call you by your name,
Am the God of Israel.

By His stripes

Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

B02 All Have Sinned

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
