Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
Galatians 6:7, ESV
Do not claim to be a Christian and then boast about your worldly lifestyle. Live worldly, receive judgment.
Be humble, receive grace and forgiveness.
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16, ESV
Living for God can be hard, especially with our fallen, sinful world full of death and our own desires.
But the Holy Spirit sustains us and encourages us every day. Lean in and trust God.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
John 3:18, ESV
Denying Christ leaves you under God’s wrath. Only through faith in Christ, the Son of the living God who took on the Father’s wrath in our place, are we freed from that condemnation.
Now and always.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7, ESV
Drawing near to God by the Holy Spirit protects, strengthens, and comforts you in all trials, troubles, worries, and attacks, so that no matter what is happening you can know His peace.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7, ESV
It is especially hard for the devil to attack you if you remain close to God.
Read your Bible, live with a church family, and pray.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18, ESV
Life can be hard, disheartening, oppressive, scary, depressing, and all-around cruddy.
God is closest during these times. Take hold of His hand.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Ephesians 6:10, ESV
The Lord is our strength. Trust in Him, not your own abilities.
