The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.

From 1 Corinthians 3:1-3:  “And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.  I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food.  Even now you are still not ready, for you are still of the flesh.  For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations?”

Nothing is clearer than that prayer has its only worth and significance in the great fact that God hears and answers prayer.

From 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:  “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Believers who are growing toward maturity share in mutual feelings–mutual woes and mutual joys.  This is one of the best benefits of being part of the body of Christ and a major reason why we need to be involved in a local church.

From Romans 12:15:  “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.”

If you want to be respected for your actions, then your behavior must be above reproach.

From 1 John 2:3-6:  “Now by this we may be sure that we know Him, if we obey His commandments.  Whoever says, ‘I have come to know Him,’ but does not obey His commandments, is a liar, and in such a person the truth does not exist; but whoever obeys His word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection.  By this we may be sure that we are in Him:  whoever says, ‘I abide in Him,’ ought to walk just as He walked.”

It is the secret of true discipleship to bear the cross, to acknowledge the death sentence that has been passed on self, and to deny any right that self has to rule over us.

From Luke 9:23:  “Then He [Jesus] said to them all, ‘If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.'”

Two works of mercy set a man free:  forgive and you will be forgiven, and give and you shall receive.

From Matthew 5:43-45:  “You have heard it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.”
