Because He is gracious, God saves us on the basis of faith in His Son.  Then He gives us a new nature empowered by the Holy Spirit who comes to live within each Christian.

From 1 Peter 1:3-5:  “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  By His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

Divine love can’t be fully comprehended by the human mind, but it can nonetheless be ours through faith in Jesus Christ.

From 1 John 4:14-15:  “And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent His Son as the Savior of the world.  God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God.”

Conviction about God’s truth is like an anchor holding you steady in the waves of temptation and the winds of opinion.

From Daniel 1:16-17:  “So the guard continued to withdraw their royal rations and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables.  To these four young men God gave knowledge and skill in every aspect of literature and wisdom; Daniel also had insight into all visions and dreams.”

We aren’t free to interpret the Bible any way we want.  The goal is to discover what God meant rather than to find a meaning we like.

From 2 Timothy 2:14-15:  “Remind them of this, and warn them before the Lord that they are to avoid wrangling over words, which does no good but only ruins those who are listening.  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by Him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth.”

Living wholeheartedly for the Lord is impossible in our own strength.  But if we’ll humble ourselves and ask, He will give us the grace to diligently and persistently live for Him.

From 2 Chronicles 31:20-21:  “Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah; he did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God.  And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, to seek his God, he did with all his heart, and he prospered.”

How often has this happened to you?  You go about your life, but a restlessness seems to hang over you.  In such moments, ask, “Lord, what is it You want to tell me?”

From Psalm 121:1-2:  “I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come?  My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”

We need godly knowledge and principles to guide us, which is why we must make meditation on the Word a daily habit.

From Psalm 119:97-98:  “Oh, how I love Your law!  It is my meditation all day long.  Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is always with me.”

Without God, we would fail, and our constant companions would be worry and distress.  But with Him, we receive true wisdom and divine power.

From Galatians 5:22-23:  “By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  There is no law against such things.

Our Savior loves us perfectly because He’s fully God and fully man–powerful and compassionate.

From Luke 22:69-70:  ‘”But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.’  All of them asked, ‘Are you, then, the Son of God?’  He said to them, ‘You say that I am.'”
