There are several scriptures that give out the characteristics of God’s kingdom. But in Romans 14:17, Paul wrote three of them together. He says God’s kingdom is not meat and drink. But what? Righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Your body has been purchased by God using Jesus’ blood. So the moment you get saved, you don’t own it. Instead, you are a steward of it, and it remains God’s property.
Many things people say have been complimented by others as true due to votes and comments. But only Jesus is the truth.
When Jesus uses ‘verily verily,’ then what He is about to say is of great importance and is a significant doctrine in the faith.
While it is laborious to sit to read and study scripture, hearing it for yourself, especially through audio Bibles, throughout your day can nourish your spirit so much. Keep studying the Word. But study to encounter God, not to just know it.
When the devil tempts you and tries to make sin enticing to you in your mind, you must rise quickly to resist him steadfastly in the faith. Why? Because he is after awakening your sinful flesh (which God had put to death) and also misleading you away from God’s ways to the way of death(destruction).
What we need to reign in life is in Christ, not in the world. And what are they? The abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. You cannot gain any of these if you’re an unbeliever.
Jesus does not want you to live a life full of struggles with sin. He wants a great life for you, whereby you’ll be bent on living on purpose and making a godly impact in this perverse generation. But that can’t be possible if you don’t come to Him. Sin has nothing good to offer you but death. Don’t let the devil deceive you about that.
God’s will doesn’t change in a person’s life. Why? Because He knows everybody’s life from beginning to end. So nothing that happens or change of decisions surprises Him. It is just that we don’t know the details of our lives like He does. So when He does something we ask or do not expect Him to do, it looks new to us.
Anybody who is not born again is darkness according to truth from scripture. And in addition to that, such people are bound to be there by the enemy’s power of darkness (see Colossians 1:13). But there is good news. Jesus, the light of the world, has come to redeem everyone trapped in darkness.
With all seriousness, guard your mind from deception. When the devil tries to paint an enticing picture of sin in your life, look at God’s Word and resist him. Life in Christ is not a joke. So don’t trade yours for anything ungodly.
Jesus said in John 8:51 that “… whoever obeys my Word will never see death.” That means that even when we are in Christ and do not obey God’s Word, we are prone to face consistent hardship in life, and unfortunately, many believers are living like this. They are in Christ but disregard the authority of His Word over their lives. As followers of Christ, we must rely solely on His Word always. We ought to treasure it and carve it on our hearts.
