The New life In Christ: For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses but we have one who has been tempted in every way just as we are-yet was without sin. Hebrews 4:15.

In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need some one to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity… Hebrews 5:12-14 & 6:1-2. Amen.  

The New life In Christ: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” Hebrews 4:7.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account. Hebrews 4:12-13. Amen.

The New life In Christ: As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. 1John 2:27.

But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit-just as it as taught you, remain in him. 1John 2:27.

This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 1John 3:11.

If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?

 …let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us.

For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 1John 3:17-20. Amen.

The New life In Christ: But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 1John 2:20. Each one should test his own actions. Galatians 6:4.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world-the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does-comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. 1John 2:15-17. Amen.

The New life In Christ: The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be. Galatians 5:10.

You were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather serve one another in love. Galatians 5:13.

The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:14 & 5:6.

So…live by Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. Galatians 5:16.

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2.

Each one should test his own actions. Galatians 6:4. Amen.

The New life In Christ: You must not be partial in judging: …for the judgment is God’s. Deuteronomy 1:17.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say, “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope-the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Titus 2:11-15.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. 2John 1:10. Amen.

The New life In Christ: Far be it from you to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you.1 Genesis 18:25.

Abraham came near (to the LORD) and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous with in the city;

And the LORD said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will forgive the whole place for their sake.”

Abraham answered, “…Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking?”

…And he (the LORD) said, “I will not destroy…”

Again he spoke to him, “Suppose forty are found there.”

He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.”

Then he said, “…Suppose thirty are found there.”

He answered, “I will not do it…”

He said, “…Suppose twenty are found there.”

He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.”

Then he said, “…Suppose ten are found there.”

He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.” Genesis 18:23-32. Amen.
