Titus 2:11 For the grace
of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men.
God in his goodness who
now also gave us freely of his son for our sins he next will also give us all
of what we need too here on earth as well, all we have to do is to trust
him and to serve Him.
(Mat 6:33 KJV) But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.
(Mat 6:34 KJV)
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought
for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof.
So we never do
have to wrongfully strive even mainly to get rich but rather should be trying
in love serving one another, serving, praising and worshipping God here on
earth right now as well.
On top of that too many
Christians are being subject to false religious man made rules
trying to please mere men over God too.. or they are are wronfully trying to
earn their personal way still into heaven, some even by abusing others
with their unkindness, false gospel presentations too.
Romans 11:6 But if it is
by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works,otherwise grace is no longer
grace.
Furthermore the just
shall live by faith in God to save, to heal, to provide now too.. that means
all Christians and not just pastors, missionaries..
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by
grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the
gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, that no one should boast.
(Heb 10:38 KJV)
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have
no pleasure in him.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you
have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of
God; 9 not as a result of works, that no one should boast.
(Heb 10:39 KJV)
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe
to the saving of the soul.
(Heb 11:1 KJV) Now
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.
(Heb 11:2 KJV) For
by it the elders obtained a good report.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally,
be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might.
1 Corinthians 10:31
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory
of God.
Romans 6:14 For sin
shall not be master over you, for you are not under law,but under
grace.
Romans 8:1-5 There is
therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law
of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and
of death. 3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh,
God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an
offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the
requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to
the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who are according to the
flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according
to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
Titus 2:12-14
instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly,
righteously and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and
the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus; 14 who
gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and
purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
Romans 12:1-2 I urge you
therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living
and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of
worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which
is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 4:1-5 What then
shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about; but
not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God,
and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." 4 Now to the one who works, his
wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does
not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned
as righteousness.
and we do also
need to personally appropriate all of God's power, provisions,
gifts for us to be able serve him effectively now as
well..
Romans 8:32-39 He who
did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not
also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring a charge against
God's elect? God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who condemns?
Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right
hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written, "For Thy sake we are
being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be
slaughtered." 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him
who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor
height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us
from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 1:6 to the
praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the
Beloved.
2 Timothy 2:1 You
therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15:9-11
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle,
because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I
am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than
all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. 11 Whether then it was I
or they, so we preach and so you believed.
Ephesians 1:6 to the
praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the
Beloved.
God clearly has a
specific will and plan for each one of us and we do now need to find out what
it is and to follow it, each one of us too..
2 Peter 1:2-4 Grace and
peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3
seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life
and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own
glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and
magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the
divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by
lust.
Romans 8:33-39 Who will
bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; 34 who is
the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised,
who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril,or sword? 36 Just as it is
written, "For Thy sake we are being put to death all day long; We were
considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37 But in all these things we
overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present,
nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other
created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Corinthians 3:12-15
Now if any man builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones,
wood, hay, straw, 13 each man's work will become evident; for the day will
show it, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire itself
will test the quality of each man's work. 14 If any man's work which he has
built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work is
burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as
through fire.
Now each one of us by
Jesus Christ has been free from condemnation and thus we are free to
serve God in love for him and for others.
Abusing any other
Christians and being falsely proudly is still a sin unto God now as
well.
1 Corinthians 1:29-30
that no man should boast before God. 30 But by His doing you are in Christ
Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification,
and redemption.
1 Corinthians 15:10 But
by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove
vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of
God with me.
God has given us by
Jesus Christ now, and by his word all the provisions we do all need to be his
holy servants now.. we need to appropriate them daily as well.
Ephesians 1:3 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.
Ephesians 2:1-5 And you
were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked
according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of
the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3
Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the
desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath,
even as the rest. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love
with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made
us alive together with Christ by grace you have been
saved.
Colossians 2:10 and in
Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and
authority.Hebrews 12:15 See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God;
that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble,and by it many be
defiled.
so do continue watch out
for false men, and the devil who would, continually will try to turn you
away from God, to enslave you to false ideas that sound good but are not from
God.
Galatians 5:1-5, 13 It
was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do
not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. 2 Behold I, Paul, say to you that
if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3 And I
testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under
obligation to keep the whole Law. 4 You have been severed from Christ, you who
are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we
through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. ...13
For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into
an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Romans 4:4 Now to the
one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due.
Romans 11:6 But if it is
by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works,otherwise grace is no longer
grace.
Galatians 3:1-5 You
foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was
publicly portrayed as crucified? 2 This is the only thing I want to find out
from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing
with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now
being perfected by the flesh? 4 Did you suffer so many things in vain-- if
indeed it was in vain? 5 Does He then, who provides you with the Spirit and
works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law,or by hearing with
faith?
Galatians 5:1-5 It was
for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not
be subject again to a yoke of slavery. 2 Behold I, Paul, say to you that if
you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3 And I testify
again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to
keep the whole Law. 4 You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking
to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the
Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
Ephesians 2:14-18 For He
Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the
barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which
is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He
might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, 16 and might
reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to
death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were far away,
and peace to those who were near; 18 for through Him we both have our access
in one Spirit to the Father.
Romans 5:1 Therefore
having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ,
Galatians 6:12-16 Those
who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be
circumcised, simply that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they
desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh. 14
But may it never be that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new
creation. 16 And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon
them, and upon the Israel of God.
1 John 1:9 If we confess
our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse
us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 3:21 Beloved, if
our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God.
Galatians 5:22 But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness,
1 Timothy 1:5 But the
goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a
sincere faith.
Acts 24:16 "In view of
this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before
God and before men.
Titus 1:3 but at the proper time manifested,
even His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the
commandment of God our Savior;
Philippians 4:6-9 Be
anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God,
which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good
repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your
mind dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and
heard and seen in me, practice these things; and the God of peace shall be
with you.
Psalm 119:165 Those who
love Thy law have great peace, And nothing causes them to
stumble.
Proverbs 3:13-17 How
blessed is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding. 14
For its profit is better than the profit of silver, And its gain than fine
gold. 15 She is more precious than jewels; And nothing you desire compares
with her. 16 Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and
honor. 17 Her ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths are
peace.
1 Corinthians 2:6-11 Yet
we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this
age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; 7 but we speak God's
wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages
to our glory; 8 the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has
understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the
Lord of glory; 9 but just as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and
ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God
has prepared for those who love Him." 10 For to us God revealed them through
the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 11 For
who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which
is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.
Mark 9:50 Salt is good;
but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you make it salty again? Have
salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
Philippians 2:1-4 If
therefore there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of
love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and
compassion, 2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the
same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. 3 Do nothing from
selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard
one another as more important than himself; 4 do not merely look out for your
own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Romans 13:1-7 Let every
person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no
authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2
Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they
who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are
not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no
fear of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same; 4
for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be
afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of
God, an avenger who brings wrath upon the one who practices evil. 5 Wherefore
it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for
conscience' sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are
servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 Render to all what
is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear;
honor to whom honor.
1 Timothy 2:2 pray for
kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and
quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
Romans 16:20 And the God
of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be
with you.
1 Corinthians 14:40 But
let all things be done properly and in an orderly manner.
John 14:27 "Peace I
leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Then later on the
Lord added these words, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may
have peace." Where do we find that peace? In the sphere of His life as the
resurrected and glorified Savior seated at God's right hand; in the sphere of
His purposes, values, and character. Then He said, "In this world you will
have trouble. But take heart! (be encouraged, comforted) I have overcome the
world."
John 16:33 "These things
I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have
tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
Hebrews 12:12-13
Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may
not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.
Hebrews 13:9 Do not be
carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to
be strengthened by grace, not by foods (related to human religious works),
through which those who were thus occupied were not benefited.
Strengthening our hearts in God's grace gives us the peace which the world
simply cannot give. It can give temporary happiness and pleasure, but not
peace because the world does not know God's grace.
(Mat 7:1 KJV) Judge not, that
ye be not judged.
(Mat 7:2 KJV) For with what
judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall
be measured to you again.
(Mat 7:3 KJV) And why
beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the
beam that is in thine own eye?
(Mat 7:4 KJV) Or how wilt
thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and,
behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
(Mat 7:5 KJV) Thou hypocrite,
first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly
to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
